Is This The Most Vulgar Pen On The Planet?

[Guernseytim]

I have no words for how hideous I think this thing is...

 

Surely this is not a pen aficionado's pen.

I don't see anything Vulgar about it

 

Deep fat fried, unadulterated, Chocolate frosted OOGLY?, Yes, definitely.

 

Vulgar? No.

Gotta say, Bruce pretty well nailed that one down. Hard to beat that description for the well-neigh-indescribable levels of fugly that thing has!

[WaskiSquirrel]

When I read "vulgar" in the title, I expected the pen to be shaped like some anatomy.

 

Ostentatious, yes, ugly, yes. Vulgar, as in not my definition but rather "lacking taste," is a term I hesitate to use when something is not to my taste. Other people may not approve of my pens. Taste is subjective and personal.

This one comes close to crossing the V - Zone.

Yes, it is a bit common. But then I'm an outsider to the world of gold-plated bog seats.

 

I think here you'll get fewer quibbles about its screaming vulgarity than about the fact it's not a piston filler and the nib's too hard.

I must be a vulgar person. I do not consider this vulgar. I have seen much worse.

This artifact has been wrongly identified as related to Budda. It is, of course, the Aztex God Quetzalcoatl, known to the Maya as Kukulcan for whom this ritual pen was devised to be a part of the human sacrifice rituals of both civilizations.

 

The actual act of killing the victim to be sacrificed was made easier by this instrument of death which featured a #6 nib in an EF for puncture and a surprisingly sophisticated heart-activated inking system that allowed for great amounts of blood to be withdrawn without any resulting 'nib creep'. An earlier variant used a cartridge and was abandoned because of lack of capacity and blood type.selection.

 

Other nibs were fashioned by followers of the god Tlalac (Maya Chac) who were known as the "masters of the pointy thing that is on the end of the ugly stick". Though not as efficient, some stubs and obliques were used.

 

I hope that this clears up this question.

Yes the silver is a bit vulgar. I prefer the gold one.

[slipstream13]

I would call it gaudy or "gauche". It also does not look like a pen meant to be written with. It would hurt and dents in your hands. I think of it as a very gaudy, over-priced display piece for someone with more money than sense

[brunico]

Yes, we just have to find a way of making Dickkooty2 guest editor of the next Pen World.

Would have done the same had I had a beverage near me

Actually rather well executed. Nice.

I think you are serious - am I right? Blood ritual - human sacrifice? Wow - that is an ugly pen.

Tasteless, gaudy, showy, over-done, flashy.... I think it fits into those quite well.

 

It's definitely subjective - don't expect everyone to agree with me :-)

[onepuff]

The pen is ostentatious but looks well crafted and in my opinion it isn't vulgar. The price however is quite vulgar.

Any pen used for writing "Fast and Furious" sequels.

 

Does anyone know if Jackie Collins uses a fountain pen?
