One Red Clip - Becomes A House

I had read it about this well over a month ago, and yet, after much cogitating and considering, it needs to be mentioned, however riefly, that this is really going on. Some guy named Kyle began with - literally - a big red paperclip. That's it. Nothing amazing, nothing you could get excited about and search days for. It's just another over dressed office supply for the many nuts who think that more will get done if they like the way the paperclips look...

The paperclip was traded for a fish pen. The fish pen went off to morph into a funky handmade doorknob. The doorknob, not nearly enough of the house, became a Coleman Stove... which, in turn, became a red generator (must've been in someone's garage powered up and ready to go one New Years' Eve of 1999!). OK, well, so far, so good - you can't say that this is not already quite a wowwer from when Kyle began with a red paperclip... I mean, really.

The generator, while interesting, is not really something one needs I would imagine, so it went its merry way to become a Budweiser window light... you know, the neon things. (Not sure how that is a step up but we all know I am a total snob in this way and so I don't need to get it, really. The Bud sign was obviously a hot ticket item, so it flew off to become a skidoo (I have no idea... looks like something Nanook of the North might use) - but the skidoo was snapped up for a trip - yes, as in a journey to - Yahk, British Columbia... and that (obviously that was too easy to part with) became a van. Like a big box truck, not just Joe-homeowner van. The truck went on to become a recording contract... holy shit! A truly useless item unless you have an amazing garage band... No? Onward to the one year stay in Pheonix, Arizona, which looked less attractive than an afternoon with Alice Cooper (I have to admit that the appeal in that is not lost on me. I have heard that Alice Cooper is extremely well read and educated and passing up an afternoon with someone of his mental caliber... well...

But Kyle was really hell-bent on a house, and so the afternoon with Alice Cooper (sigh) became a Kiss snowglobe (yes, the band Kiss), which must have been on someone's wish list in a big way as it became a role in the next Corbin Bernsen movie. Wow. All that, again, from one normal red paperclip!

And the movie role became this lovely house in Saskatchewan, Canada! (http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7327/1939/400/trade%2014%20one%20house.jpg)

Now that is really SOMETHING!
