Chose one of your fellow halfbakers to help with your office related tasks. Chose carefully because they can only bring up advice that is already on the halfbakery. If you chose, for example, me, you would end up with nothing useful but you would get to read my brilliant ideas. For some reason starchaser
might be more popular than me...
This has the added advantage of making word help totally indistinguishable from the halfbakery.

Oh joy. Just what I've always wanted to do, run a free Microsoft Windows tech support line. |
|
| |
I'd opt for AffroAssault, probably not very productive but think of the mayhem the pair of us could cause |
|
| |
Gets a pastry from me. Perfectly halfbaked. |
|
| |
That damned paperclip was consigned to the nether realm approximately four seconds after I found it, but a Halfbaker stand-in would be OK. (Can I have [bristolz]?) Just don't give me [RobertKidney] as a spell-checker. |
|
| |
I'll go for Vernon. Three hours later, I'll still be clueless, but I'll probably have forgotten whatever problem made me go to the Help in the first place by that time. |
|
| |
no change there then! touche! |
|
| |
What little animation would you get with each baker? AfroAssault obviously explodes, and Vernon manages some kind of FTL travel. lewisgirl flourishes her shoes, and po rides her scooter round the screen. I'm thinking of PeterSealy as a web search engine, and lewisgirl as a spell-checker. Vernon would be like the Word summarize option, only in reverse. |
|
| |
Yeah, but I wanted a *real* paperclip: "OK hold these. Yes, that's right only a little tighter. Good. Now step into this filing cabiniet." |
|
| |
On second thoughts the idea of buying a box of 200 curved loopy halfbakers does have some appeal. No idea what I'd do with them, though. |
|
| |
I hate the bloody paperclip. I hate the whole concept of the paperclip. I like this idea though. |
|
| |
glad you didn't say I flourished my knickers, pottedstu.
Always willing to be of assistance, for spellchecking or even 'It looks like you're writing a letter. Can I mess it up for you?'
errant apostrophe, second last word, RT. |
|
| |
<< glad you didn't say I flourished my knickers, pottedstu. >> |
|
| |
No. That would be UnaBubba. |
|
| |
But jutta, microsoft would be paying you royalties... or you could password protect the place - people have to get the password somehow... or maybe it could be downloaded as an add on for word by halfbakers only... |
|
| |
"iit luks like yu are trying to speeeeeel. wood you lyke some help?" - (the RK spell checker) |
|
| |
The PeterSealyClip: "It looks like you're trying to write
something that's already been written before. Would you
like me to yell 'Baked!'?" |
|
| |
I'll have the UnaBubba spellcheck assistant please...
"That's not a real word,
Even in poetry.
Can't let you use it,
If it's not in the diction'ry."
or...
"Hello comma.
Hello para.
Time to learn the
Rules of grammar." |

Ah, but did you know that the paperclip was invented in the middle 1800's by a french chap, I believe it was Monsieur Cleep? He was always dogearing his papers and accidently ripping them. One day he had a piece wire in his hand he had found laying around his house and decided to use it to keep his papers together without damaging them. Being French, he decided to name his new device after himself - the PapierCleep, or the Papierclíp. When that got transfered into the english language it lost the accent over the 'i' and 'papier' was changed to 'paper.' |
|
| |
...and an American invented the stapler... |
|
| |
Sorry [barnzenen] but waug's link has a little explenation... having 2 links to the same thing would be almost as daft as, say, an anotation to say that... |
|
| |
oh good. You'll be gone for a while then?
I'll freely offer my skills as the Cheeky Bitch paperclip. |
|
| |
The 'hippo' version - Puts the "er..." into paperclip. |
|
| |
The CoolerKing version - Puts the "pap" into "paperclip". |
|
| |
<copy>The Guy Fox version - Puts the "ape" into "paperclip".<paste> |
|
| |
The Vernon version - Puts the "Better anti-gravity paperclip 25664 abstraction essay" into "paperclip". |
|
| |
oh I see. The lg version puts the 'lip' into paperclip. |
|
| |
There's only one lewisgirl, luckily. |
|
| |
oi. enough of that, or you'll be buying your own drinks in January. |
|
| |
I'm still waiting for the guy to put the music into country music. |
|
| |
Not enough room, they have to take the whining out first... |
|
| |
Rods, once upon a time Roseanne Cash used to say she was that other guy. Not that she said she was a guy. |
