Patricia – Um…Wrong post. Unless you really like TPS reports and like to shout it everywhere you go.

nat – Sadly, I’ve always been quasi, and will probably never move up to almost-but-not-quite product review blog editor.

Webmiztris – If there was a grammar whip, I would be punished all the time.

Chuck – I love Despair products, the anti-inspirational posters. Although, they do inspire me to be not inspirational, so I guess they do inspire.

Jobetta – Don’t forget outsourced customer service!

Lucy – Yes, it was!

KT – All those stripping videos would make me stripped out and I would no longer have the urge to strip. It would be so bad that I’ll probably be taking showers with my clothes on.

Genny From the Burbs – Yeah, I’m bummed! There was a Rubic’s Cubicle I would’ve liked and then gotten frustrated with.

klew – Yeah, I kick ass stripping in dimmed environments, but if a pole or lights are involved, I totally suck.

tanya – I also like moonlit walks in the park, potpourri, cooking shows, and, on occasion, the Tyra Banks Show.

I hate the name “stooples.” But more importantly – why is it that the products you like have “nipples” and use “whips.” They say you can tell a lot about a man by the things he likes … okay maybe nobody says that – but I’m saying it dammit!

Hopless? Let’s try hopeless. If you had the pen, you could kill someone and take their pen. That’s either some time-travel mumbo jumbo or just two people fighting with pens, where the winner is determined by unseen talents. Yours appears to be stripping in dim lighting environments.

But if you were into binder clip nipple clamps, you couldn’t really be a hopless fool, could you? At least in most places, you’d be pretty popular for that.

Man, this is like when you see a preview for a movie and you’re like “WHOA! That looks totally awesome” and movie voice over guy comes on and says (basically) “Coming…… in the next presidential administration”. Except this time, it’s never. Tease.

I must have this book.
Please to send to me?
Much the thanks!

I hope that all of those products come true so you can review them all!
THINK OF THE STRIPPING VIDEOS! :O

I work in a bookstore and got a good laugh out of the Stooples catalogue. My favorite was the “accent translator,” which you put in your phone and everything anyone says instantly sounds exactly like the accents of wherever it is you live. As someone who’s worked in tech support and listened to my share of extremely thick Brooklyn/southern/boston etc. accents, I can see the use for that. :)

My favorite office parody items can be found at http://www.despair.com but this one looks funny to read also. I like the nipple clip idea. It’s like finding a new use for an old product!
