Arguing with people on the Internet is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon will just knock the pieces over, s**t on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

So, did I post this in the wrong forum?

 

Or y'all just not interested? :P

Sorry. Just saw this come up now (I had logged out, only to log back in because I'd forgotten to unfollow another thread).

Well, I won't do my favorite song. That's just TOO special (I hate covers of it with a passion, as well -- some songs do great with other interpretations, but that one (a lot of Bob Dylan comes to mind). But that one? No. Not really. That one I just cringe and twitch and fight the urge to strangle the person with my bare hands.... :gaah:

My second favorite song has something like 7 or 8 verses (it's over 10 minutes long -- and it took me three years of repeated searching to find the lyrics posted online, and I'm not 100% sure they're correct even now...). Another song (by one of the guitarists on that song in a subsequent band, I had to painstakingly transcribe, line by line, from the YouTube video. Then when I tried to post it to one of those lyrics sites, I got this email back saying it would be up in a couple of weeks if they "deemed it popular enough".... Grrrr. If the damned song was POPULAR I wouldn't have wasted 3 days searching for it and then a couple of hours transcribing it myself, hitting the pause button after every line, now would I? :wallbash:

I will try to post some stuff at some point, but I've got a ton of stuff to get down this week (including something a little more important -- photographing and posting pix of some of my recent pen acquisitions. I do have a file on my laptop (with a whole bunch of sub-files in it) of various songs that I run across, remember from my (somewhat) misspent youth, or that just catches my attention.

No, my favorite song isn't *there* either. Because I've had it memorized since I was about 13 -- having first heard it when I was 12 (don't ask me my age now, it isn't polite). And, well, because liner notes ;). Something sorely lacking on the album my second favorite song is on (but given it was a severe case of "failure to do due diligence" to begin with, I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised... :rolleyes:).

Ironically, back when I was in high school, I used to keep track of various song lyrics on paper. Didn't use fountain pens then, but I did play around with calligraphy and typography some.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Great idea! Will upload one ASAP.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

      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
