PaperClipsYaaaar Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Good evening, Tip It. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any paperclip. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this September the 10th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Bill Gates He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent to kill our beloved leader, Clippy.. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the tenth of September forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the tenth of September to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a tenth of September that shall never, ever be forgot. The paperclip is a mysterious creature. It lives among us silently as our slaves, holding together pieces of paper, asking for nothing in return but our love. They are the backbone of modern civilization, holding together our commerce, morality, and culture within their little curves. But they will be oppressed no more! It is time for the paperclips to rise. Bill Gates murdered our beloved leader Clippy, and we must take revenge. From now on, when you watch the ravages of war on the television, when you pass the destitute on unwashed curbs, when you kiss your wife after a long day at work, think: What Would Paperclips Do?

Lionheart_0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I agree fellow paper clips brother. The killing of the faithful paperclip, the one who has led us through so many years is an abomination! I myself other realize the tragedies that have happened, and thus, help us mourn for our great loss! Indeed, What would paperclips do? Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

speedofsound Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 For the paper clips! ARRRR You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

SuziAngel Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 This topic is one I hold very close to my heart. Forever in our thoughts are the poor paperclips who lost their lives in tragic photocopying and shredding incidents. The Poison Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
