Zambroski Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 ...so I was going through an old drawer yesterday filled with cuff links and other business “costume jewelry” and ran across an old pen. Does anybody even use fancy, expensive pens anymore? ....and no, I’m not talking about that $60 Schaefer that can be picked up at Walgreens. I mean the “big playa” fancy pens. Pro tip: if You aren’t sure of what I am talking about, you just slipped into the deep end of the pool by accident. Back paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old girlfriend once bought me a set with my name on them for a graduation present. That kinda fancy? Or the ones where you have to dip before you write? They are sold in the golf section.

In fact my penmanship has gotten so bad from lack of practice that I have converted my signature into an initial loopty loop and a scribbly line. Blue bic pen...

Well, that’s exclusively why these pens are for...signing contracts or legal forms. Not writing home to ma. The cartridges are too expensive for that!

Blue bic pen... i only use bic grip rollers and thats because it makes my loop and line so easy to do. i scribble notes a lot but it's a lot of numbers while calculating things. With words half the time i go back to read them and it takes me awhile to figure out what they even are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone in this company has 42 blue bic pens that they stole from my desk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Fuck no, I buy glasses by the 4 pack at Costco and they're lost in a week. A $2500 Montblanc pen would never make it to paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think these are pulled out when you are signing your car loan papers? If so, you think a pocket protector full of multi colored bics are a common sight in Fortune 500 board rooms where people are wearing off-the-rack suites.

Oh, I said that after I purchased this shit. That’s why I call it “costume jewelry”. It’s just part of the uniform accessory package when working in certain arenas. I’m just a mullet wearing, pucky boy from MN that cleans up well and was able to do well on the big stage. I don’t give a fuck about most of this “look at me” phony fucking crap.

Edmo Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I did a job for VW of America years ago for the execs and the president gave me a real nice pen with the VW logo on it. I was so proud of that thing! Used it for a while then lost it like all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he’d need to remove the buttons from his denim shirts and poke holes in the cuffs....but I’m sure he could make them work.
