Book Description

September 22, 2005
Sick of the absurdity of today's office?

Ready for a delightful satire that highlights the often infuriating, sometimes pathetic, and always ridiculous nature of office life?

Check out Stooples! Stooples is the only company to win the coveted Most Soup Stains on Manager Ties Award for the third year running. This catalog of Stooples's most prized products has won the coveted Golden Yak Award from the Outer Mongolian Book Reviewers' Association. Whether you're interested in purchasing fluorescent-light tanning butter (put that cubicle lighting to some good use), wall murals of the Great Depression (remind employees who really controls the means of production), or anal-retentive pocket planners (map out your day five minutes at a time), Stooples will have you laughing out loud in the office, the shower, or the annual meeting of the Mongolian Yak-Herders Association.

Low-Price Guarantee
"At Stooples, you have our low-price guarantee. Find a product at a cheaper price elsewhere and we'll guarantee it's lower than ours. Every time."

Canadian Customers
Hey, you hockey heads, you've got to pay extra, eh? Include Dominion tax, maple-syrup and round-bacon tax, and the difference between your currency and real money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Office War, September 28, 2005
This review is from: Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools (Paperback)
This is one of the funniest office-related books I've read. These guys are cynical, sarcastic and have more insights in modern workplaces than most business consultants. If only we could buy these products--coffee mugs with your six-figure salary emblazoned on it and other ego-pumping products. It reminds me of the Alex Baldwin character in Glengarry Glen Ross, who plunks his Rolex on the desk in front of some loser colleague and says "Who am I? This watch cost more than you earned last year, that's who I am."
This book reminds me of when I got my first job in the early 90s. My predecessor cleared out the bookshelf and left only Dilbert's "How to Build a Better Life By Stealing Office Supplies," which turned out to be the best sources of career advice I had. Now, as I'm preparing to clear out of an office, I think I'll leave the Stooples book to my successor...

5.0 out of 5 stars Office Workers of the World - Unite!, September 28, 2005
This review is from: Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools (Paperback)
If you ever wondered why your company didn't issue you a survival guide, stop wondering. Here it is. Subversive. Full of invective. Funny. Wry. Witty. Stupid. I mean Stooples. The catalogue of necessary office supplies to survive the day at work. Want a pat on the back? Look no further than Stooples. Looking for something for that annoying boss? Stoople here.

National Lampoon meets the Idiot's Guide to Office Life.

What George Orwell would have written if he had known how to use a computer, camera and copy machine.

Full of great gift ideas: the Blackbury - so death doesn't do you apart.

Get Stooples for all your office mates. Get Stooples for your boss. But best of all: get Stooples and give it to the boss when you go in to quit. Stooples is, as Stooples does.
