...covet it? He decided to make it fire-engine red. "I called Swingline and said, 'Do you make a red stapler?' and they said no," McAvoy recalls. "And I said, 'Well, do you mind if I use your logo on the side of a stapler I'm going to paint red?' They didn't mind at all." McAvoy took four Swingline staplers to a local auto-body shop and told the workers he wanted them "perfectly painted, just like you'd paint a car." He later added a computer-rendered logo...
...Kabuki stage. "His training taught him to work within narrow limits, so he knows how to make a lot out of small opportunities," says Hitomi Hagio, a Tokyo-based film and theater critic.

In a key moment, Raina gives Craig a crazy-quilt blanket that she made. In return she asks him to paint a mural on her bedroom wall. In Raina, Craig finds his muse and reconnects with the urge to draw that he had recently abandoned as a pointless waste of God's time. This being a comic, we actually get to see this inspiration manifested. Thompson indulges in pages of Raina...
...wrestled to the ground a meter away from him. He maintains that security was "well handled" by Australian police. February 1994 American prankster James Miller paraglides onto the roof of Buckingham Palace, then strips to reveal that below the waist he's wearing only a coat of green paint. Scotland Yard say the incident doesn't raise concerns over security, as he was arrested "within minutes." December 2002 A drunken reveler gets into St. James's Palace - the home of Prince Charles - but is reportedly only arrested when he knocks on the door to Princess Anne's apartments...
