Lori VanDeloo: Integrity to Her Core

As everyday readers know, we at the KroBlog pride ourselves on honesty and integrity. So, when Lori "Dorfy" VanDeloo told me a story tonight about "Office Space" and the red Swingline stapler, our editors and fact checkers researched both the story and the story-teller for accuracy. It's just good, fundamental journalism.

For you fans of Office Space you may remember the red Swingline stapler. Milton carried it around the entire movie and it was the focus of his sad existence. Well, as Lori told me tonight, Swingline didn't make the Rio Red 747 Business Stapler (SWI74740) until 2002, well after the 1999 release of Office Space.

"After many requests from movie fans, Swingline decided to create and sell a red stapler. It was in July of that year the company began started selling the Rio Red Business Stapler. Since then, the stapler has begun popping up on desks in offices around the world. When someone see's a red Swingline on your desk, and they are quote unquote, "In the know", it really says something about you. The only thing bad about having one, is keeping people from stealing it."
