When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Well, he is currently “**ack home in San Diego”, for one.
I’m also wondering why he states singer / choir leader / TV personality / etc. Gregory Charles’s website as his website, though. Maybe he’s a fan.
I go through two lighters a day, you puss.
He just changed that location! I swear it said Ho Chi Minh city when he started the thread!

Even if not Ho Chi Minh City, it did say somewhere in Vietnam. He’s got some explaining to do. Maybe he was kicked out of the country for hoarding staples.
Cupcake papers.
For some reason, when I was still living alone, I kept thinking I was out of them, so I’d buy more. Then, I got married, and my wife had several containers of them too. We have enough paper cups to contain many hundreds of cupcakes. And yet, because we are now dieting, I don’t know when I will next see a cupcake or muffin.
And for me it’s circuit breakers. Don’t ask why. I can imagine a very peculiar SDMB white-elephant swap in the near future.
I hear the Vietnamese are hard-nosed about staple horders. They don’t mess around.
I’m all dressed up with no place to go.
Although, come to think of it, that’s probably better than going places with no clothes on…
I’ve got an ass, and nobody is here to kiss it.
I have a beating heart and functioning lungs, yet I don’t have a life… 
You misspelled “kick”.
I have a sinking feeling… but no boat.
I’ve got the will, but I don’t have the way.
OK, this thread is taking some weird twists. I feel some explanations are due, though I’m not exactly sure why.
I’m not a singer from Montreal. I used to have that address, let it expire, and some other guy with my name grabbed it. I’m a obviously a bit lazy about updating my profile. For example, it took me almost month to update my location to back in San Diego, so yes it did say Ho Chi Minh City when I started this thread. Unpacking has been a challenge. I had dumped most of my stuff in boxes and put them in storage. Somehow in that process my stapler dissappeared and my staples reproduced.
Everybody happy now? Good! Ca3799, Swingline or Bostich? Stephanie, how about lunch some time?
My dearly departed mother in law collected office supplies as part of her geneology projects. When she passed away, we found about 40 boxes of staples along with at least 50 boxes of paper clips, 12 big boxes of rubber bands, a couple thousand file folders, 200 stenographer notebooks and 250 Papermate stick pens. She died in 1990 and I still have about a dozen boxes of the staples. I might used a couple dozen individual staples a year so I can honestly say I have a lifetime supply.
I have about 1700 NASCAR diecast cars, I would like to find some buyers this weekend.
There must be some worthwhile charitable organization (or several) that would adore to receive these items as a donation. Why not call around?
Have to admit, the Greg Charles/Gregory Charles thing had me scratching my head too. Not only is Gregory Charles a singer, he’s also an excellent pianist, has an astonishing knowledge of jazz, and fills in all over Radio Canada as interviewer, radio host, etc. His television talk show a few years back was no great shakes, but I doubt it was his fault. He studied law in the late 80s, though I think all the show business stuff swept those studies aside. To top it off, he’s fluently bilingual without a hint of an accent in either English or French.
Hard to imagine a guy like that dicking around with staplers. Me, on the other hand, I hate the Boston 50, but lust after an Apsco 16. Somebody swiped mine and I’m still hunting it down. Haven’t tried a Swingline.
Mr. Jibby Jabbish, your name amuses me. Heh. It intrigues me, however, that you’d lust after a stapler.
Greg - sure!
Everyday at the office I get the mail wrapped in a big rubber band, which I throw into the bottom of my supply holder on my desk. I use maybe a rubber band a month.
I should make a hammock in my spare time.
