i bought it because it was a dollar and i thought it would make a really sucky gift. it's been sitting on my desk for a week now. it steadies no papers. it has no purpose. it's really kind of ugly. but somehow, i've grown attached to the thing. ah, my egg paperweight. i almost don't want to give you away... but i know you'll make someone else as inexplicably happy as you've made me. sob.
