Staple-Free Stapling Meets Cute Overload

If sleek and modern isn't your thing, but you're still desperate to stick pieces of paper together without using staples (or the "other" staple-less stapler), stop worrying and relax -- there is another way! The non-metal, paper cohesion device for the Cute Overload set, the doggy and kitty staple-free stapler help prove that few things aren't improved with pastels and pretty pets. Plus, it gives new meaning to "the dog ate my homework." If you can get over the quasi-existential implications of these babies -- if it doesn't use staples, should it be called a stapler? Hmm... -- you can pick one up at ::ThinkGeek via ::Random Good Stuff.

But how do you unstick the paper after you've stuck it? I work at a law office and this is imperitive sometimes when you need to copy a stack that has been stapled.

I don't get it. My metal stapler is 40 years old, and works great. Probably get another 40 out of it.

I haven't noticed a land-fill issue with discarded staples.

Well, considering that we HAVE to recycle EVERY bit of ANYthing recyclable in my house, one less job of having to dig staples out of papers would be welcome.

Yes, my staplers are quite old and they do a fine job and when I had my storefront, I bought a lifetime supply of staples...by the case, but...given the option of not using them....

I'd go for it, providing I get about 40 years out of these cutesy devices....

maybe the landfill issue is impacted from the waste produced by the staple factory and the staple boxes and the trucks and trucks cargo-ing those boxes and boxes of staples around.....hmmmmm

well, they are cute anyway.
