Cinco de Mayo...SIMPLICITY STYLE!

 

BTW, the green one is the Jade LE.

 

Oh, and to contribute minutiae beyond the photo, the FPN version is about 2mm shorter than the standard versions.

Very nice array.

I would kill for Chili bear.

 

Make you a bet, without looking it up 90% of folks don't know what Cinco de Mayo celebrates.

Mexican peasant victory over the French at the battle of Puebla. But I've lived in NM and Colorado my whole life, it is a big deal here.

jd50ae,

 

Is that 90% of FPN readers or 90% of residents of Texas? :P Either way, you would probably win the bet.

 

Now since we "tangentalizing", I would bet that more than 90% of readers do not know what the bottle of hot sauce in the photo has to do with the cinco...er, five Bexleys?

You got some cojones yourself, suggesting that 90% of us Texans would not know what Cinco de Mayo is about! But then, you folks from NM and Colorado never do give us much credit for anything. :P

I believe peapicker is the NM/Colorado guy who knew the answer. Here in the Great Lakes region, the latino population should know but I doubt most others would know beyond the promotions by bars and grocery stores. I guess I was thinking of those "Winter Texans" (like my parents were), as well as the thousands who left the rust belt years ago and migrated to Texas cities to find work. I certainly would not bet against any Texan regarding all things Mexican. :embarrassed_smile:

 

Re the hot sauce connection, in case anyone cares: It is produced in Columbus across town from the Bexley factory. :headsmack: Okay, okay, I know...boo, hiss! It's a stretch. I'll stop now. :lol:

Excellent review of a very sharp looking pen! Hopefully some more rod stock will be found so those of us who missed out can partake of the joy!

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
