The 149 would be someone fat and ostentatious(Pavarotti?), the 146 an elegant-but-boring celebrity(Brad Pitt?), and the others I don't know enough about :)

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

Hmmm. Brad Pitt looks downright scrawny to me and totally unattractive. The 149 would be a tall, good looking, athletic guy like Hugh Jackman. <female sigh of delight>

My sister would agree with you.

 

Don't forget we have to choose someone who also have a bad rep that would be more accurate in term of describing an MB to some people.

149- The huge fat guy (who likely also has enough authority to make your life hell) at meetings. Is a powerful presence in the room (physically and mentally).

146- A calm and collected person. Being highly intelligent, he/she is the go to person when people have a problem. Dressed in a slightly vintage vibe, but always ahead of the pack sartorial matters. The only one in the office who challenges this person is the above person.

147- Mildly insecure. Some times develops an inferiority complex in the presence of the above person.

L'Etoile- The woman who wears too many baubles, trying to present an image of immense power and wealth. Has a mild stench of new money.

Starwalker- The hipster in the corner you never talk to.

Boheme- The effortlessly pretty woman. Sophisticated, and has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.

Generation- The older person who is constantly trying to remain relevant. Has nine lives and has made made more than a few comebacks worthy of Lazarus.

Hmm. How about Naveen Andrews, the hunk that plays Saeed, the bad boy on "Lost"? He could be our 146. And Hugh DID play Wolverine. <grin>

I think the 149 should be Sir Anthony Hopkins - he looks so 'cool' but can be so BAD!!!!

146 could be Hugh Jackman - versatile in the extreme

147 has to be a woman I think - but with some attitude - maybe Madonna

The others I really can't say.

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

Make it count!!!

Odd. Some folks have said the 149 would be a "big fat guy." Maybe I agree, but it would have to be a man of substance - girth as well as sophistication and a good mind. I am thinking maybe Winston Churchill or Alfred Hitchcock.

 

The 146? Someone with equal sophistication, yet more slim and ever so insightful. How about Franz Kafka?

 

The 144? Very similar criteria, yet feminine. How about Visginia Woolfe? (I don't care that the last two have LE's.)

Hmm. We're revealing a division of perspectives here. Some of you think of the 149 as outsized and the 146 as a "normal" size. Whereas I think of the 149 as a normal sized pen as my other pen brand LEs are all this size and I prefer it, while the 146 is the little squirt to me.

Good choice. I like the 149, but its just too big and brash most of the time. The 146 hits a good conciliatory tone.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
