Do you carry your pens behind your ears?

[Philips]

No-way, however I have been known to carry a pencil behind my ear. Wouldn't want to carry a fountain pen in that manner in case it should fall and be damaged.

[Highbinder]

Pens seem a little heavy for behind-the-ear. Up until I had my eye surgury at the start of the year glasses prohibited me from it. Wouldn't really want to risk it with a FP tbh. Pencil no problem, however!!

[koa]

Most of mine are too big to do so comfortably, or I might.

 

Alright, I can't but help but ask: most of your ears or most of your pens?

(Sorry, couldn't help myself.) :roflmho:

[gross]

I've got the ears for it, its true. My ears stick out like the handles on an old fashioned sugar bowl. I've carried pencils on my ears but never my fountain pens. All my fountain pens have a fear of falling and I have a fear of what might happen to them if they did fall. And man, do I look ugly crying and I do sound horrible wailing! No. No fountain pens carried on my ears.

I've the ears to do it. But not the lobes.*

You know, with ears like those, you could keep lots of pens...

They don't call me Da(i)mon for nothing.

What a kinky idea for earings! ...

It's just wrong, somehow. And yet: I can't look away.

Nicely done.

 

I just finished Leonard Woolf's five-volume memoirs, letters and Glendinning's biography. A great man, and a good husband.

 

He'd have liked the rabbit, too, I reckon.

Now I know what I'm giving myself for Christmas: Leonard Woolf's memoirs!

 

Thank you very very much!

One of life's great joys is recommending books - so, my pleasure.

 

I bought them as a set from the UK, on http://www.abebooks.com/

I have just ordered the whole 5-volume set (1975, paperback, collectable) for $14.95 + shipping and handling from Amazon.com. I feel lucky.

We don't. I used to do it with pencils, because they were easily available and losable, but not with fountain pens. Drop the pen once and you'd be tearing your ears off for felony!

Excellent! I do hope you enjoy them as much as I have. They're repetitive on occasion, and some have said Woolf meanders (I don't mind at all). But they're a lucid, amiable life story - and one tied into the main literary, artistic and political currents of the twentieth century.

Other people's ears are much less convenient, and they would also ask why.

Hi all,

Seems that using ladies' pens with rings as earrings didn't go over as nicely as I thought. No big deal.

 

However:: for Ladies: how about earrings made from nibs? Dip or retired FP nibs?

 

Am looking for something unique for Xmas soirees.

 

Or have I lost it?

 

Best Regards,

Sandy1
