Cool!! Thanks for sharing!

I love their Step 8:

Step 8 Dial 911

[Due to the violent nature of this step, we have not included a picture]  Using any sharp implement [scissors, knife, axe, etc] cut the refil to be the same length as the original ink.  [please use adult supervision]

I love office supply stores, though I have very little use for them in real world -- pens are my favorite. I've been using uniball vision pens since junior high -- love 'em.



My favorite pen, though I had only a relatively brief affair with it -- ending when it was stolen by my ignoramus computer teacher -- put about 80 bucks into the pen/pencil set by Rotring.  That pen is heavy, double as an effective, albeit small, bludgeon.


(I had the pen/pencil versions of the first in that picture.)

Grr... That's what I'm always afraid with my beloved pen, that i could lose it, or it could get stolen. I already lost my last one, and it made me maaad!

Hirudin:
Whenever I misplace my pen all work-related activity stops. The longer it's gone, the more likely I'll never see it again.

As long as everyone's posting pictures of their pens; here's what I'm using righ' na' (except it's the Liquid Point 7)


I think more than anything it's the cap that does it for me. The clip is designed in such a way that it just slides over my shirt pocket. I don't feel like it's steadily ripping it apart.

*gasp* Fountain Pens!! :-* :-*
I too am a closet fountain pen groupie. Never could afford the good ones, Shaeffer ALWAYS leaked on me so I was in for the Parker "Jotter" (which came in both fountain and ball-point models) with plastic refill tanks. They could be had (for a while) at the corner grocer for 4-6 USD. Then they just went away...
My next fave was the Pentech something-or-other. 2 bucks for cheap gray plastic with an ingenius wire pocket-clip and folded-metal nib that was a bit scratchy sometimes but used a bigger refill tank and NEVER leaked. I would immediately take it home and use an x-acto to chip the black paint off the nib because that caused problems when it loosened later on. Those went away too, after Pentech was bought out by the company that makes Disney promo junk.

I found an entertaining history of the ballpoint pen can be found around the middle of this page:
