EEVILMURRAY Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Kerori. No no no, what does it do? Paperweight? bath salts?
Ashley Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Its a soft toy, can't you tell that from looking at it?
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Now you've mentioned it, yes. But to begin with it looked like it had that gravely texture you get on those bath bomb things.
Dyson Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Gotta agree with EEVIL here, at a glance it looked like a paperweight
chairdriver Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 The question is: What's the point in a paperweight?
Ashley Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 To stop paper moving on a desk/work subject subject to breeze. Anyway. Its a soft toy.
chairdriver Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 To stop paper moving on a desk/work subject subject to breeze. Surely anything with a weight greater than the force of the wind would serve this purpose? Why should there be a thing specifically designed for it?
Cube Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Surely anything with a weight greater than the force of the wind would serve this purpose? Why should there be a thing specifically designed for it? Why get a vase when you can stuff flowers in any old tub?
Paj! Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Surely anything with a weight greater than the force of the wind would serve this purpose? Why should there be a thing specifically designed for it? Because most other things might be serving their own function. Paperweights are most effective because of the ratio of weight x size is excellent for it's purpose. As opposed to a lot of other stuff, which again, you might need to use. [/D.T]
Ashley Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Surely anything with a weight greater than the force of the wind would serve this purpose? Why should there be a thing specifically designed for it? But none would be as decorative. Why are there decorative bath plugs, brightly coloured umbrellas and wall vinyls. If we simply used something that would suffice life would be boring.
Coolness Bears Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Today I bought: First DS game I've bought since Summer last year.
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Why should there be a thing specifically designed for it? Because it looks pwetty. Your statement can apply to a wide number of things. Letter openerings springs to mind for one.
chairdriver Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 But anything with a sizable weight force can be called a paperweight... It's like placing a rock on the table. "What's that!?" "A paperweight." It just feels such a cop-out thing to be. Like the designer couldn't think of another purpose for it.
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 But anything with a sizable weight force can be called a paperweight... And anything pointy could be used as a fork.

Anything could be anything else.
Eenuh Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Just ordered: Gotye - Like Drawing Blood for £9.75.
Happenstance Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Well this just finally turned up and my god damn postman shoved it through the letterbox, ripping the bottom of the case and smashing some of the plastic inside. That man is completely incompetant! Its not the first time hes been a moron either, if he cant fit something through the door he shoves it halfway through then knocks and walks off. Once he didnt even bother knocking, just left a note telling me my package was left in one of our recyling bins at the side of the house!

My postman left a £20 Xbox 360 Controller on my doorstep when I wasnt in. In plain view from the street, anyone could have stolen it.
kyletherobot Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I have an even worse story about incompetent delivery people. Let me begin... I ordered a George Foreman grill (don't ask) and the delivery guy left it in my bin but stupidly, he didn't leave a slip telling me where it was. So, I emailed Amazon to ask where it was, they promptly told me it was in the bin. I checked my bin only to find it as empty as a monks cum jar, the bin been emptied by the council already. See ya, £40 grill.

See I cant figure out how the hell they think leaving packages in a bin is a good idea???
ReZourceman Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 See I cant figure out how the hell they think leaving packages in a bin is a good idea??? Word your story is ridiculous. Letter of complaint it. I have a good template, with a sweet ending. --------- I think I can trump bad postman stories though.....ours left my PS3 on our doorstep.
