I very much appreciated your sharing the review; it is always best to remember to not take yourself seriously & this one was a refreshing reminder!

I tried to watch the video. I really did. And I loved the comment about "conspiracy theorists". But I just couldn't sit through it. Maybe because I'm going on a decided lack of sleep. Maybe because I found It condescending and annoying, and ultimately stupid.

And, well, maybe because I've recently watched a real video debunking *real* conspiracy theorists [Did you know that the Hebrews were from outer space? Me neither (honestly, my great grandparents on that side of the family emigrated to NYC from Warsaw, and *not* from Mars like some clueless idiot called IIRC Justin claims) -- and neither did a guy with the screen name on YouTube of Martymer 81.... Who is absolutely hilarious and just lets loose with both barrels and then some on some twinkie who spent a lot of time and effort doing an animation about the so-called "history" of Atlantis -- with our boy Martymer clearly just having way too much fun in the process, because when he wasn't facepalming over the stupid, he was standing against a dark background, wearing a black leather jacket and looking over his shoulder to break the fourth wall every time the looney talked about stuff like how the Martians fought the Atlanteans for world domination and saying "But of COURSE!"....]

Totally worth watching just for the comment about being left-handed.

When I polish my pens I get an expression on my face like I'm performing a Heimlich on somebody. I've spent more time picking an ink for a pen than I typically spend picking a necktie or a birthday card. I've gone through periods when I flossed nibs more frequently than my teeth. I once spent 12 hours putting a dropped pen back together. I've hovered anxiously by the door for a delivery, like Marcia Brady by the phone on Friday night, all because I couldn't wait to get my hands on a sac. An hour on the road into a vacation trip, I've turned around and returned home because I forgot to bring my pen wrap of FPs. Nuthin funny about that.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

Have to admit I said "Okay, I'm done with this" about 20 seconds in, but went back for the whole thing later. Not like I can get back those minutes, but wasn't doing anything particularly productive at the time anyway, so not a huge loss. Very amusing in some parts. In particular, I loved the comment about Moleskine journal paper.

We are certainly a great topic for humor but that seemed to miss the mark. I'll admit I did not watch all of it but then that is also true of almost every video review I've ever attempted to watch.

I saw the first part up to the box...then he lost it.

I did like the some people write on something called paper, others don't.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
