It’s November, so you know what that means…Thanksgiving.
A time when we stuff our faces with turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Unless you’re vegetarian, then you might stuff your face with Tofurkey, a faux turkey made out of tofu. No matter how you stuff your face this Thanksgiving, one thing is for certain…leftovers.
Well two lucky Impulsive Buy readers will be storing and transporting their Thanksgiving leftovers in style because the Impulsive Buy is giving away two sets of the Hefty Serve ‘n Store plates and bowls.
Just remember to not microwave them.
November also means that Christmas is coming up. Is your office having a Secret Santa again this year and you want to give something better than the used Hillary Duff CD you gave away last year? The Impulsive Buy has got your back.
Another lucky Impulsive Buy reader will receive a copy of the book Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools. Of course, if you win it, make sure you read it before you re-gift it.

These TPS Reports Are Crap
I said I wanted to see those TPS Reports by the end of business day yesterday!!
Oh! Oh! I want Stooples! Because–even though the world of TPS Reports is behind me now–you can never have too many chuckles about office supplies.
TPS reports? What TPS reports?
The Impulsive Buy provides everything I need when I take a break from writing these darn TPS reports.
–Quentin
Um, yeah…I need to talk to you about your TPS Reports…yeah…they don’t have a cover sheet…
I had a nightmare about TPS reports last night.
But…but…but HOW will you choose the winning names? That’s always my favorite part of these prize drawing descriptions.
tps reports suck.
I gave those TPS Reports to my boss this morning. She pretended like she knew what they were.
The newest innovations are available to you now – TPS reports are for sale for the low, low price of just $19.95.
But wait! Call now and you’ll get another set of TPS reports for free!
Man TPS reports suck!!! ;) Love your site Marvo!
Yeah, see we’re putting the new cover letters on all our TPS reports now, so if you could go ahead and do that, that’d be great. Yeah.
TPS reports give me a case of the mondays.
You cna shove your TPS reports right up your ass.
Yeeeaahhh… Marvo, we have a problem with your TPS Reports…..
TPS Reports? We don’t need no stinking TPS Reports…
TPS reports? I didn’t know I had to turn the TPS reports in today. Damn!
TPS Reports! Yay!
I’m gonna need those TPS Reports before you leave today.
Alriiiiiiiight? Mmmmmmhmmmmmm.

There is nothing I love better on a Tuesday morning than an inbox full of TPS reports. Yay!
Yeah.. I’m going to need those TPS reports on my desk by the end of the day.. mmmkay?
TPS reports -_-
TPS reports that he has no idea what “TPS” stands for.
Well, OK, I’ll give you your TPS reports, but if you move my desk one more time, then then then I’m going to quit, yeah I’ll quit. And then I’ll set the building on fire.
TPS reports?!? I’m still looking for my Swingline Stapler. Have you seen my stapler? It’s red. It’s mine, I brought it from home…
I was told I could listen to my radio at a reasonable volume, and now you’re saying that I can’t listen to my radio, and they moved my desk, and…
TPS REPORTS SUCK!
TPS reports..Office Space… What could be better?
There’s a problem with the cover sheet of your TPS reports…Mmmmhmmm…Yeahhh….
If I don’t do this, I will have 5 different bosses to yell at me. TPS Reports make me cry!
I ate the worm.
(Not entering the drawing…I just wanted to say that. Mehehe.)
Marvo…
I’m going to need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday. Mmmm Kay?
Oh, and Sunday if you could have a review for us, that would be great.
Thanks.

Memo to Impulsive Buy:
I have yet to receive your TPS Report. As it was due last week, with standard cover sheet, please forward it to me posthaste, as I need it for the upcoming Cost Management Survey. Any further delay may result in a negative review by the review board.
Thank you and have a very nice day!!
I agree Panthosette! Canadian TPS reports are more polite!
TPS reports are kindof like an off-brand box of chocolate. You never know if it’s going to be bullshit flavor or not.
I would rather fill out TPS reports than wear flair.
You know Peter, you’ve been missing a lot of your TPS reports…
I wouldn’t say I’ve been MISSING them, Bob.
I have no opinions on TPS reports except they don’t sound fun.
Yay for Prize Drawings!
No for TPS reports…
TPS Reports… win me for once!
Uhhh yeah, I need to talk to you about your TPS reports. Mmmkay?
TPS reports.
this would be better than a box of condoms
Man, I need to rent office space!
For love of god the TPS reports are pain.
TPS reports and how is Mountain Dew LiveWire a related review?
TPS take this job and shove it
TPS Reports. Yes.
Hello, Peter. What’s happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports.
Yeah. Uh, did you get that memo?
Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. The problem is, I just forgot this one time. And I’ve already taken care of it so it’s not even a problem anymore.
Yeah. It’s just that we’re putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports *before* they go out now. So if you could just remember to do that from now on, that’d be great. All right
i missed the tps report memo.
Damn TPS reports. *waves fist in air like grandpa Simpson*
Stooples book. *Ex-ce-l-l-ent (like Mr. Burns)*
actually, we’re using new covers on all our tps reports . . . did you get the memo?
Uhm… yeah. I’m going to need Mr. Lumberg to shove the TPS reports up his ass. Ok? Yeah.
Adding to my previous comment to say that when I worked in tech support, the building looked just like the Initech building. I hated my bosses –they moved my desk too many times. At first it was over near the window. And I could see the squirrels and they were merry.
I did not staple my TPS reports with a red swingline.
I think that I should win because it is my birthday this month and I have a million TPS reports that are due.
TPS reports are so hot right now…
Please, help Jesus punch those TPS reports in the kidneys: Godhatestpsreports.com
TPS reports sounds like something i’d hafta stay up late to work on the night before.
TPS reports
I need Hefty Heat n’ Serve to store my Tofurkey Pumpkin Stuffing (TPS)sandwiches.
Yeah…I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday and finsh those TPS reports…
I need to watch Office Space for the sole purpose of knowing what TPS reports are.
“TPS reports, PBS cohorts — I ain’t touchin’ that shEEt.”
–quoteth I my quasi-evil less-than-conjoined twin.
that is all.
I know, I know…I forgot the cover letter for the TPS reports. It’ll never happen again, and if you tell me about it one more time, then I burn the place down and demolish the always-broken fax machine.
TPS reports are the bomb!

TPS reports
i do not want to enter the drawing, but i really want to say thanks. thank you for that picture that nearly made me laugh out loud as i sit at my desk and look busy. every time i try to fax anything, i want to have an office space moment with my fax machine. doesnt help when you have to deal with military vs. civilian numbers, as well as many many international faxes.
so, thank you during this time of thanksgiving!
yeah, about those tps reports…
“TPS Reports”
good, now that THAT’s out of the way. Marvo, i think that I should FINALLY win the monthly prize drawing. I’m canadian and we don’t even have thanksgiving in november, so i’m automatically more needy of the prize than all american contestants.
kthnxbye
TPS Reports.
Extra info: I so wanted to jump in to the tv and help beat down the fax machine!
Back in college TPS Reports was code for cocaine… not that i did any TPS Reports or anything…
you haven’t been using the new cover sheets for the TPS reports, Marvo. :)
Um, yeah…about those TPS Reports…yeah…
Yeah. It’s just that we’re putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports *before* they go out now. So if you could just remember to do that from now on, that’d be great.
Oh, and next Friday… is Hawaiian shirt day… so, you know, if you want to you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.
It’s just that we’re putting a coverletter on all our TPS reports now, didn’t you get the memo? Yeah, I’ll just make sure you get another copy of that.
Enter me please!
TPS REPORTS.
Anyway… Marvo, you know you’re blocked by the school web filtering program, Websense? Yeah, you’re blocked under the category “Supplements and Unregulated Drugs” or something like that. I know it’s “Supplements and Unregulated” something, meaning they think you advertise herbal cures and steroids.
Tried getting on your site at school today, that’s what I got.
WTF is a TPS report?
zee TPS reports are due NOW

TPS is Australia’s leading manufacturer of instrumentation for pH, Redox, Specific Ions, Conductivity, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity and Temperature for Research and Industry. … and TPS delivers.
Hope you are well!!!
Smiles from the Mainland…
I should say “TPS Reports” instead of just opening your eyes to TPS of Oz.
You know what I think I’ll probably get from my Secret Santa? A TPS report and some Skittles. Like, not even a whole bag. Half a bag, at most.
After everyone left the office last night I took all the TPS Reports and covered my naked body with them–and no one will ever know.
TPS reports are way cool!
TPS reports … mmm, tasty.
hopefully i’ll never have to do a TPS report
Haha… TPS Reports….arent they the best?!?!?
Where would you like me to put these TPS reports?
um…. yeeeeaaaaahhhh, I don’t know if you got the memo, but we’re putting the new coversheets on the TPS reports…
gotta love the TPS reports.
Oh yeah, TPS reports.
TPS Reports retorts the smort de blort blort.
i used to always eat off of paper/plastic plates until i realized that it’s more economical to just wash a regular plate. i also realized that i’m a cheap bastard. regardless, i’m paying my respects to veterans everywhere by not doing any tps reports tomorrow.
If you could please send me the most recent TPS report, I’d be more than glad to show you my “O” face.
My boss totally sounds like that. No TPS reports in my office, though.
TPS reports? We don’t need no stinkin’ TPS reports!
DAMMIT! My dog ATE my TPS REPORT!! Wait…I don’t have a dog…
I use TPS reports to wipe my butt.
I got soul, but I’m not a TPS report.

I’m cheap.. but not cheap enough that I can’t appreciate not having to wash dishes..
TPS reports what?
Well you can just take your TPS Reports and errr, file them. Love the site!
TPS… woooooo!WE LOVE YOU!!
TPS reports . . . they’re not for the weak of heart!
Umm… Ok, Yeahhh… Did you get the memo? We’re putting covers on all our TPS Reports now… We’ll just have to get you that memo then…
So, uhh, yeah, I’m gonna need those TPS reports today, not next month. kthnxbai
