Post it pad nearing its end

**Dave McLelland** · October 23rd, 2003, 06:34 PM

My long serving post-it note rainbow tower pad is almost gone.
Im looking for suggestions for a replacement.

There are so many options around, top of the range 3M solutions as well as those from third party manufacturers. The interface on each is basically the same and I think I can use my existing pens unmodified with any of the current offerings.

So what to choose.

Im thinking just a plain old yellow 3M this time...

Feel free to hijack this thread into an exploration of the environmental impact of yak farming in the mongolial highlands.

Don't replace it. Every time you use up half your pad, write twice as small. You'll never run out.

Woohoooo a reply, first reply ever to any thread of mine.
I started to think that I didnt exist.

That wont work as I need to remove the sheets to stick to things and I always size the text so that it just fits and no more.

For starters, I wouldnt go for 3M, they are a global company which hire illegal and cheap child labour with help from some chimpanzees in Namibia.

Go for an open-source project, which you could even modify yourself and maybe even learn something in the process. I like to use toilet paper with sticky-tape. It works just as well as post-it notes and its free if you know where to get it.

There are toilet paper products which you might have to pay for, but like I said, if you know where to look you will have a lot of free toilet paper floating around in your office in no time. My faveourite place to get free toilet paper is at petrol stations bathrooms. Even if you feel guilty about taking their toilet paper off the rack, you'll find heaps of unused ones just lying on the floor. And if your not that fussed about wether its used or not, used toilet papers come in a variety of colours to choose from. Although the smell might cause your spouse and children moving out without leaving a forwarding adress.

I have no wife and kids, so the prospect of them moving out fills me with confusion and not-confision in equal measure.

Im colour blind too so the smell wouldnt bother me. I am however concerned about continuity of supply and other people starting this too. I get enough sh1t in the mail already.

Deniz, if I bought a post-it pad from an australian supplier would I need to attach it upside-down to my ceiling and peel sheets from the bottom to make it work with my local gravity.

No. I dont even know where to begin with that one... You logic is so..... "stupid". No. **** no!! NO!!!

As for supply, trust me, people are lazy, they will be going to the grocery store to buy toilet paper or 3M post-it notes to wipe themselves, dont you worry, your supply is as unlimited as long as people keep going to the toilet, you'll have your papers.

Sad that your colour blind and have no spouse or kids... I dont either... But hey, I'm a good catch, I make good money, own my home, decent looking, and not too many annoying habbits...

I do like to swallow my tongue and throw it back up again in public sometimes, but I'm sure theirs someone out there for me...

Good call, but when you put the servant in a book, it wont close.
