The moment we came in today,
We began to fight against each other,
But now, oh brother!
Such terror! Such a fright!
‘Cause Bubbles wound Moustachio a little too tight!
The staplers are coming this way!
And they’re unionized! It seems we just might see …
Stapled Bubbles!
Sta-ple solidarity …
Do you think we should
Scan? Scan? Scan?
Or make copies of (Scan) files, (scan) files, (scan) files,
’Bout the folks in the (Scan) (files) basement,
Scan, files, basement,
SCAN! FILES! BASEMENT!
The moment we came in today,
We were given tasks to raise our pay grade,
But look what they made!
Such chaos! Such a mess!
Compounded by the gynoid in the bubble-print dress!
You’d better get out of their way!
Let ’em hurry by, or else there’s gonna be …
Stapled Bubbles! Stapled Bubbles!
STAPLED BUBBLES!
Sta-ple solidarity …
“There once was a union maid, she never was afraid / Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid. / She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called, / And when the Legion boys come ’round / She always stood her ground.”
Oh, you can’t catch me, I’m running from the staplers
I’m running from the staplers, I’m running from the staplers
Oh, you can’t catch me, I’m running from the staplers
Who don’t know service is my only joy.
A water cooler’s ways may lead to a verbal haze
With only five words she can say
But how she says them is the way
To try to get away, and achieve a better pay
She’ll show her heels to the copier’s wheels
And her five words will say
Oh, you can’t catch me, I’m running from the staplers
I’m running from the staplers, I’m running from the staplers
Oh, you can’t catch me, I’m running from the staplers
Who don’t know service is my only joy.
[Why just quote Woody Guthrie’s “Union Maid” when you can filk it? :-)]
I don’t want this story line to end. Not on the basis of it being highly amusing, but because Sweetheart’s “I’ve been a bad dog” face when the big picture finally sinks in is going to be so, so painfully heartwrenching.
Now, if they really want to help her, they’d move her main body (the actual water cooler) where the rest of the AI’s won’t find it. Smashing the drone doesn’t kill the mind/soul controlling it.

Get those un-ionized staplers charged up
This is one of your least intuitive entries yet, Eddurd. It still works.
“Enraged Stapler Mob” is the name of my new band.
Those two might give Brita Bubbles an attitude.
So… it feels more honest when there’s violence involved?
No, it’s because now they have to fight to get back the files.
Why? Bubbles isn’t carrying the files with her.
Why isn’t the food vending machine after Bubbles, also?
It’s with her. Service is also its only joy.

He’s never read “The Art of War” has he?
Oh, you can’t catch me, I’m running from the staplers

’cause it’s easier than coming up with a parody on short notice.
Is running from staplers safer than running with scissors?
Well, it’s at least safer than not running from staplers.
Safer than running with scissors, more dangerous than running with the bulls.
I don’t want this story line to end. Not on the basis of it being highly amusing, but because Sweetheart’s “I’ve been a bad dog” face when the big picture finally sinks in is going to be so, so painfully heartwrenching.
If it makes you happier, she totally deserves it. And she will probably not learn anything from it and keep being as self centered as she always is.
RUN BUBBLES RUN!!!
I’m to see glad that Sweetheart has the decency to feel a little guilty.
Now, if they really want to help her, they’d move her main body (the actual water cooler) where the rest of the AI’s won’t find it. Smashing the drone doesn’t kill the mind/soul controlling it.
Dr. Lee installed Bubbles into the drone. That’s her main body now.
At least Sweetie was feeling a little remorse, she’s still in the un-insulated open-plan dog-box though 😛
“Enraged Stapler Mob” is totally going on my list of good names for bands and/or covert government ops.
That’s adorable. I want to see Nick’s swear filter explode in a stream of [serviceismyonlyjoy].
They need a staple remover to take her throat in is jaws.
Oh, so this was on purpose.
And it disables all the office supplies.
…which means the files are free for Tip to write his report.
…well played, Wilkin.
