Whether or not you could get paper to write on wasn’t the point. It was expensive, cool-looking and really shiny. What can I say, I’m a sucker for suff like that.
Amen, Crunchy Frog! Practicality is irrelevant… the pen was cool.
I am definitely a penophile… hmmm, that sounds distinctly like a sexual thing. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good penis as much as the next woman, but in this case I am talking about pens.
I have hundreds. My current favorite would be a Uniball, fine point, green ink. My favorite stand-by: Papermate, blue ink, medium point.
ps Crunchy, I heisted your sig for my sig at school. It goes over well here 
Carry pens? What the hell for? Wherever I go I look down and <bam> there’s a pen. In the street, in a friend’s car, at work, they just appear like droppings.
I look through the office max catalogs the way some women look through victoria’s secrets catalogs.
sparkly pens
metallic pens
