Hmm... Iseem to think that I somehow recollect potentially that which you may possibly be trying to convey...http://billbungay.com/items_for_sale/lp_records/Z/zappa_frank_overnight_sensation_lg.jpg

 

... but which harbour in Montana do you mean?

OK, I am a little confused, let me recap. Tandaina likes prettier, smaller, lighter, lovely SOFT old nibs that make things just POP. But she doesn't want any grey. She also says you don't want to knock those old nibs, they have lots of tricks up their feed... Her Ecclesiastical Authority would just laugh a lot, especially after a few Scotches.

 

Amberlea prefers YOUNG and STIFF; a little grey doesn't bother her at all. She wants it to have a spell-checker and be wearing Paco Rabanne. Amberlea also thinks that she and Tandaina "gotta go out and get some more experience!"

 

Lapis, who started this topic, is so confused that he is being driven to drink. (Which will probably make things "smaller and softer".)

 

I do have a question for Amberlea, where do you propose that you and Tandaina go to "get some more experience"?

 

A pen store? Might I suggest Dromgole's in Houston. 185 miles from Waco. Would you two pick up some Noodler's Texas Bluebonnet for me while you're there. While you're at it, send one to Lapis, too, he probably needs one, and a bottle or two of Paco Rabanne. Maybe even get a bottle of Texas Pecan to compare with Edelstein Amber.

 

Frank - I think you got most of it, but Lapis wasn't confused so much as he was suggesting threesomes.... and I agree, we can only get real experience at a store like Dromgoole's where fondling is legal.

Actually a silly cartoon at this time of the year... Here's a guy hauling a bunch of Easter eggs, and I was expecting a pile of ink bottles...

Well, it's a change from the snow we've had. As I said to 'she who must be obeyed' earlier "It looks like reindeer."

Excellent! That sounds like " 's no, dear" because everything here has been covered with snow for weeks, only to be topped off with a brand new coating today. Ughh!!!

So, now wouldn't be a great time to mention that I went for a drive in my buddy's convertible 'vette with the top down, wearing sunglasses, shorts and a tank top?

No, it wouldn't be a great time to mention that. Otherwise, I might be forced to move to Vegas. (But I can tell ya that I'd bring all of my inks with me...)

That's not me in the picture. In 1988, I had better legs even if I am still much shorter than the model.

And in 1988, the 'Vette would have been much different...

But the location is still there. I remember that place, actually. Somewhere between L. A. and Vegas.

I had a 1988 Corvette and her legs look just fine. I also like her umbilical jewelry. Nothing says easy like visible umbilical jewelry. Her legs have a certain Amber hue that reminds me of Edelstein Amber ink.

You confuse me. Are you talking about the Corvette?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
