390 Entries for “paperclips”

  1. they hold the most important things together.. the documents you keep to record the days of your life.. the papers that keep you employed.. basically they are the glue in your life made out of paper.. they keep you sane when everything is falling away falling apart..

  2. I think in pictures. So maybe my thoughts are just small pieces of paper with drawings on it. Held together by paperclips.

  3. Paperclips are basically what keeps our thoughts together. As we write everything down on paper, collectively, the thoughts add up and the paper grows in numbers. We could staple, but that would damage our thoughts, therefore, we paperclip them so that we can detach them whenever we need to.

  4. No, what u need is an electric highpowered industrial staple gun to keep that family together. They may be thick as thieves, but they’ll tear each other apart before you have time to say paperclips.

  5. i learnt a way of turning paperclips into heart shapes recently. i do that to all the paperclips i find. it annoyed the people i worked with, but i dont care, i like being able to share a little bit of love, a little heart when i can, and pass it out to people.

  6. Paperclips are pretty handy but they are really not as popular as the stapler. The stapler kicks the paperclips ass.

  7. I fumbled with one of the paperclips that were scattered over the surface of my desk. It was Christmas Eve, and my co-workers were slowly drizzling out of the office and towards their loved ones like a moth graduates towards a flame. I glanced out the window and into the street below. It was snowing, soft, white flakes drifting comfortably towards the earth, without a care in the world. I envied those snowflakes.

  8. Jules sat there, staring at the paperclips. How was he going to be able to explain this to his friends his family, and would he even want to? I mean the ability to move paperclips around wasn’t that great of a power. In fact it was pretty crap.
    However, he’d never need to go hunting for one again!

  9. zombies, brains and how to survive the attack…. keep your wits, don’t rush around organizing your documents with paperclips.

  10. She shuffled the paperclips around on the table with her fingers. She didn’t want to have to go to the meeting they were going to shortly have. She didn’t want to go anywhere. All she wanted to do was to sit at home and not have to worry about life. The merger, the company, all of it just didn’t seem worth her time. But here she was, sitting in the meeting room shuffling paperclips with her fingers.

  11. “You were gone for four and a half hours to buy paperclips?”
    “Yeah”
    “Why, if I may ask.”
    “My papers were messy.”
    “So you took four and half hours to get some”
    “Yeah”
    “Good Lord, Thomas, I can’t take this anymore; you have to leave.”

  12. Paperclips are made of metal and hold my papers together, they are useful. They rhyme with clipper ships, but not really. UMMMM. My dad gave me a paper clip once.

  13. it’s nice to be held together with the ability to fall apart again. staples are too final.

  14. simple

  15. I love paperclips. They are one of the most resourceful things a person can own. I got a pack the other day and they are being used for a million things. They were originally to hold a paper together for class, but now they are being used as a bookmark, to keep together all of the Chinese menus that keep being left on my apartment door, and a 15 foot useless chain. Yay paperclips!!!!

  16. Paperclips make me think of money. When I go to get change at work, one paper clip will hold 25 dollars in a stack on ones. paperclips make a good utensil to poke and unclog a bubbler.

  17. I am paperclipp-ing my life back together. It may not be sturdy, but it will work. I can rearrange it whenever I want, and that is the best part about paperclips. No staples, no glue, no tape. Paperclips.

  18. paperclips help clip paper together. you can also unbend them and make stuff with it, like paperclip people :D paperclips are very convenient items and theyre probably cheap

  19. Packed away all of my things, last item, pencil cup. Last thing in the drawer, paperclips. Paper clips? Paperclips. I call shenanegans.

  20. Oh paperclips, how you keep papers together wonderfully. Overshadowed by staples, but useful in your own way. Never bent out of shape, but often bent out of shape. So many flavors and varieties.

  21. paperclips, the small bendable wire felt cold in my hand. I pressed it to my lips, I don’t know exactly why I did that. But it made me think of her. I threw the paper clip into the trash. But then I picked it out again and kept bending it until it snapped.

  22. okay here i go again, i use paperclips to keep my piercings open when I have to take them out for like work or something mundane like that. they work wonders.

  23. i like them. they keep thins neat and organized in a pile. they are simply simple and serve a great use. they always fulfill their task. I wish they were a little more durable. I hate colorful ones. Stainless all the way.

  24. paper clips are holding paper together i wish I knew what holds my life together what is there in everything I do? And what should be more there. Paper is the essence of my life and the clip is curiosity and this please…

  25. They’re bendy. They can clip stuff together, like paper. They can be used to store hard copied of the electronic adult files on your computer. 1’s and 0’s aren’t adult pictures but 1’s and 0’s are better than nothing.

  26. love,
    like paperclips,
    keeps sanity together.
    because as thin as our patience is,
    like paper,
    we need something
    to keep it in place.

  27. They are that thing that can pick locks more efficiently than a bobby pin but can still hold your late report together for work in the morning. Easily breakable by just a few twists and turns but without one a whole day can just fall apart.

  28. I looked into David’s cubicle. Unoccupied. I went to his desk, opened the drawer and tooks his paperclips. Then I added to the ball, it was about three pounds of paper clip at this point. Soon, it would be large enough to start my plans for world domination.

  29. office supplies, boring lame days in cubicles. I use them to keep my piercings open during the day, because most places dont like piercings, but fuck them i do. so yeah. great invention.

  30. It’s hard and cold in this windowless room, stringing thoughts together like little blue paperclips that you can buy hundreds of for a dollar and never use one. And they never seem to quite fit together, my thoughts. Like paperclips.

  31. there are so many men, of all ages, creeds and races, that i would like to seriously injure by shoving paperclips into their dickholes. crass?

  32. He had a million paperclips in his drawer. Why? I don’t know. It’s a mystery actually. Thousands of them. I fantasize that perhaps he links them together to make fabulous necklaces with them and prances around whilst no one is looking. Or he is trying to connect one wall to another.

  33. I saw this documentary about paperclips once. It was sad. It was about how this school integrated the holocaust into their curriculum. I can’t believe some schools still don’t.

    by Gabe on 12.23.2010
  34. School sucks. I immediately thought of paperclips in Staples and then got reminded of school on my beautiful Christmas break. Thanks oneword. Thanks. And now I’m reminded of Christmas. Hooray!!

  35. I like paperclips because they keep my things organised. Regretably, there is a shortage of them in my life at the moment. But I do find them in the most unexpected places and that brings me joy.

  36. wire mobiles
    the bending and twisting toy
    of unlimited possibilities
    way fun on the run
    and in a corner too
    yeah.

  37. The twisted metal created strange images in my mind, like chaotic contortions framed within the structure of thin metal. I snapped awake as they all fell to the floor, making a raining sound as the sprinkled to the ground.

  38. well paper clip , a paper clip was holding my ID and gym pass together today, i handed my pass and ID to the guy at the front desk of the gym and tookthe paper clip and set it on the bench in the ,what is it called, o yes , the locker room.

  39. he fiddled with the paper clips, folding them into all sorts of odd contorted shapes. As his boss walked past at the end of the meeting he shoved them into his hand and then into his pocket. Such lost creativity was looked down upon at Stockers Inc. Creativity was supposed to be shared for the masses and used to further mankind; but how could paperclips do that?

    by Josh on 12.23.2010
