Subject: Long story about Post-It Notes, but it's got a cousinly payoff

I don't know how many of you care about read these FK Moment things, but I
thought this one was kind of odd.

Yesterday I was having a conversation with someone - about Post-It Notes.
Here's a little background for you: I bought a lovely pad shaped like a
daisy - there was a layer of yellow, topped with a layer of pink, topped
with a layer of orange.  I took the pad to work and was happily using the
orange ones on top, patiently, yet eagerly, anticipating the day I would
eventually reach the hot pink layer.

Then, one morning I come into work and my pad has been torn apart!!
Assaulted!  Someone violated the most holy of all office supplies!  I could
not fathom why or even who would do such a cruel and thoughtless thing.  And
on top of it all, I could not even get the pad to stick back together again
- it had been permanently separated into uneven thirds.

Turns out it was this woman in another department - she saw them, thought
they were her friend's post-its (she didn't know that her friend and I had
recently switched desks), so she tore them apart in order to use some of
each color to decorate the computer monitor of someone at work who was
having a birthday.  When she found out they were MY post-its (ones that I
bought with my own money) and not her friend's, she apologized - but,
honestly, didn't treat the offense with the gravity it rightly deserved.  In
fact, she thought the whole thing was kind of funny - while I, on the other
hand, was traumatized and still have not gotten over it!

I was so upset about the raped pad of Post-Its that I gave them away (to the
birthday girl).  It was just too painful for me to look at them.

Eventually, the assailant offered to replace the broken Post-It note pad.
And, eventually, she did - but not with an identical pad; she bought me
square purple ones with the initial B in the corner.  It was a nice gesture,
but looking at them reminded me of what I no longer had and I tucked them
away in the drawer, unopened.

Still with me?  Okay.  So, yesterday, I was telling someone this story and
trying to explain what is *seemingly* irrational behavior over a pad of
Post-It notes (Don't judge me!).  When I got to the part about the
replacement pad vs. the original pad, I said, "But I don't want another one
- I want THAT one!"

As those words came out of my mouth, I thought, "Dang, that sounds familiar.
Why does that sound familiar?"  It took me until yesterday evening to
realize that those were LaCroix's words about Nicholas!

So, there you go - Post-It Notes and LaCroix.  Life is at least as strange
as fiction!

They also show up on Ebay occasionally but from what
I've seen the prices can get quite high.

Mel, who saw one go for like $300US or maybe more once
