I bought a paper shredder today

[Oeditpus Rex]

Target had 'em on sale, so I figured what with getting credit card offers in the mail at a rate of about one per day...

But nobody told me these things are fun. :bounce:

[Jazz2006]

1. Ah hahahahaha

They ARE fun, aren't they?

(for the first month or so)

[Robeson]

2. They do rule, don't they? My wife has taken mine over...

....she loves it!

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. So nice to eradicate oneself....

Love mine!

Use it for shredding any and all documents with my address or other pertinent info...and it makes for great packing material....


on edit: address..has "esses" yeah...College grad...go figure... :silly:

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. 'Uh... which college?'

~Charles Emerson Winchester III



:hide:

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Awwwww...

UNR (University of Nevada at Reno)

Honest Injun! Have the diploma and everything!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. You majored in rodeo?

Or does the Wolf Pack actually have courses? :shrug:



Just found this on their web site:

Roller hockey takes thrid at nationals

Following its third consecutive Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League regional championship, the University’s club roller hockey team took third place in the 2006 National Collegiate Roller Hockey’s Division II finals. more...



Ah, yes — hihger education.

:hide:

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Spellcheck is your friend

hihger education indeed! :rofl:

edited for spelling

4. Paper shredders are great to have!

Plus I have to have one, since I work from home, and deal with confidential client info. Needless to say, mine gets used a lot!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. One of the little warning doohickies on this one

has the red circle/slash on a necktie.

*slaps forehead*

[u4ic]

15. For use

on casual Fridays only? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Well, the thing is

if they're gonna have warnings about accidentally shredding things that hang from guys...

[u4ic]

24. Is that a genuine concern

or hope of a remote possibility that it could? ;-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Well, see

I rarely wear ties.

[u4ic]

27. So, b.

the hope of being substantial enough to get caught?

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. C.

The fear of such substantiality. :scared:

[u4ic]

38. We all live in hope

<sigh>

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Better'n livin'

in fear.

[u4ic]

45. So you're going to get rid of the thing already?

:silly:

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. Y'know...

You have a very unusual sense of humor.

It's like if I were on acid, you'd be boring.

[u4ic]

49. With only having only ingested

highly disreputable local water and some organophosphates on my produce....

I don't understand the acid reference. :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Neither do I

Everything I know about LSD I learned from "Dragnet." :silly:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. We have one too.....

It's a beaut!

It cross-cuts everything.....ouch!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. I like the credit card shredder slot

It is way cool! :bounce:

[Jazz2006]

13. Yep, mine's a cross-cut one, too.

The only real problem is that once the novelty wore off, I found myself stacking up all the shreddables and then having to spend an hour at a time feeding the devouring machine... and emptying it a couple of times along the way - which is messy no matter how careful I am.

Still, wouldn't go without it, though!

Better to shred and then recycle than to leave stuff with personal information, etc. intact in a blue box.

:toast:

12. A paper shredder is a gardener's best friend

I add all my shredded paper to the compost pile.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. You can do that?

Compost paper?

Huh... the stuff I learn here.

[Whoa_Nelly]

19. Was thinking of using the shredded paper to create my own paper

Would be perfect for that.

Shredded paper, some glue, water, a screen as a sieve, and VOILA! Paper!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. ...

:rofl:

[Jazz2006]

32. My daughter did that...

used the shredded paper to create some very artistic and funky paper.

The first go-round was a bust.... but once she and her friends got the hang of the shreddings, glue, water ratio, they did a fine job.

[u4ic]

37. There's a chap in my city who does that

goes through dumpsters and makes his own paper, to recycle it rather than have it go to waste. He even made a sort of turbine with an old bike, to spin dry the paper.

He then makes notepads with it (for covers, he uses other things he finds, such as pop boxes, old album covers, etc).

Oh, btw, he's got a PhD, so he's no ordinary dumpster diver.

[Nicole]

20. Oh yeah

Paper is the main brown ingredient in my compost. Just don't use the glossy colored paper like the ad inserts in the newspaper.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. I always figured

all compost material had to be natural.

But then, paper sorta is.

Ashes to ashes and all that.



Compost — because a rind is a terrible thing to waste.

[Nicole]

30. You're right

Compost is made of all natural materials, which paper is. Except for that colored, glossy paper I mentioned above.


"Compost — because a rind is a terrible thing to waste."

Good one!:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. It was on a T-shirt

in the Signals catalog. Or Wireless; I forget.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Great idea!

Will for sure use it once I move back to Okklahoma!

I love gardening and that will be a great way to help condition clay soil!

Thanks!!!

[Nicole]

22. I'm in Oklahoma

and it works wonders on the clay soil here.

[Random_Australian]

17. Perfect for all your incriminating-document needs!

[Random_Australian]

34. Hey! You are bieng ignored!

[Random_Australian]

35. Sure am, thanks for noticing me.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Congratulations!

Scooter Libby's defense team could use your services. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I got a feeling

Libby's dee-fense team secretes paper shredders beneath their green, scaly skin.

[RevCheesehead]

33. Or maybe they just use their laser eyes?

How are you doing this fine evening? :hi::hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. I'm gettin' frustrated

I NEED MORE STUFF TO SHRED!!!

[RevCheesehead]

39. LOL!

Don't you have boxes of old cancelled checks? Stacks of paid credit card statements? One of my sermons?

It's an addiction - but at least, it's a fun one! :7

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. I'm anal about cancelled checks

I'll keep 'em for years. Never know when some asspipe robot company's gonna say you didn't pay a bill in 1986 and now you owe them eight brazillion dollars.

And I'd prolly frame one o' your sermons. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

42. Oh, you flatter me!

'Tis a shame I don't write them out anymore. :blush:

Any check you need can be photocopied by your bank. I confess, I went through all of mine, and keeping a few for sentimental value (or autographs). Then I used the shredded ones to pack my china before I moved on to the next church. (and THAT'S anal!)

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. You memorize 'em?

Or does your church have a teleprompter in the narthex?

[RevCheesehead]

47. Nope to both.

I know, generally, what I'm going to preach about. Then I let the Spirit flow through me. It's like a holy conversation with God, and I'm AT&T. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. Have you forgotten the 17th Commandment?

"Thou shalt not ad-lib in My name."

:spank:

[RevCheesehead]

50. Hey - I'm trying to cut down, not add to the list!

In fact, I just said last Sunday, "It's like Jesus says: 10 Commandments are too many to remember? Then just remember this one: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you should love one another."

So by my calculations, you have 16 too many. :P

[RevCheesehead]

51. Oh, please forgive me if I'm all preachy.

I'm slappin' together Sunday's bulletin, so I can print it tomorrow. O8)

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Wasn't me

It was that Mel Brooks dude.

And anyway, I boil 'em all down to this: Be good.

[RevCheesehead]

54. That works just fine.

I got my bulletin done! :bounce::bounce:
This means I can play tomorrow, Friday, AND Saturday! :7

[SoCalDem]

43. we're on our 3rd one..we broke down and bought a "professional" one

It was not all that much more expensive than the last one..We shred A LOT !!

[In_The_Wind]

55. My paper shredder is very noisy.

But it does keep me from sorting the same junk twice. :)

[bridgit]

56. i don't own a paper shredder...

:cry:

[In_The_Wind]

57. How are you able to survive without it! ! !

[bridgit]

58. i know huh, i just remember after the iranian revolution when the...

CIA shredded all those documents and the put an army of women in charge of re-constructing all the secrets, shred by shred...it effected the way i feel about shredders ever since; so i just rip up the stuff :-)
i like that smiley i'm snagging it :hug:
