I just saw a column from a newspaper “Last minute gift tips” pullout section that mentioned a really cool gift that I want to get for MrMissy2U for Christmas. It is a four way staple gun. It staples nails, staples, and two other thingamajigs. The only problem is, they didn’t list the name of the co. that makes it, the brand name, where you could buy it or ANY of that useful “how do I find one in MY neck of the woods” information. I have tried Target, Home Depot, and Menards, and they don’t carry it. Has anyone else seen this marvelous tool - and if so, WHERE??? It went for like $30 bucks or something - and he could really use one, considering that’s his line of work (construction) and his old one is broken (no, I didn’t break it!) Any help would be greatly appreciated…and if you help me find it, I will sprinkle all my future posts with resounding compliments about you… * * * “If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” ---

For those of us whose minds are not wallowing in the gutter … ## Searching an online tool store I found a _Stanley_ Sharpshooter Staple & Nail Gun and an _Arrow Fastener_ Brad Nailer Staple Gun, both of which claimed to handle staples and nails, although the nails were rather small. They were both in the $30 range and I’d expect you’d have to spend a lot more to find a nail gun that drove real nails.

Spaghetti, chili, chopped onion and cheese. Oh, you _were_ talking about Cincinnati chili, weren’t you? Of course a 5-way includes beans, but no one in their right mind would dream of that… Why, there are other implications?! Nonsense. Why in the _world_ would anyone want to use chili and shredded cheese for group sexual activities?! Wishing Cowgod were here to verify, Veb ---

Buy him a Dremel tool. I find all sorts of uses for mine, one of the handiest tools I ever received. It’s more than double your price range ($60-$80) but if he’s a tool lover, it’ll be a hit. Oh, and with the right attachments, it **is** fun to have in a four way… ---

I thought this thread was going to coincide with a conversation my husband and I had just last night (he wanted to know which part of “menage a trois” meant three, and what it would be if it was four–I guessed menage a quatre). * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy [The Kat House](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/home.htm) [Join the FSH Webring](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/fshwebring.htm)
