:lol:  I think this sort of thing every time someone asks how to date some pen or other. :D

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

(Too bad I can't bloody draw, much less distil the imagery in my mind down to skeleton stick figure representations of the key elements while preserving their essential topology.)

I'd say you're doing a pretty good job!  Fantastic stick(ish) figures in both.  And the romance novel cover drawing is hilarious!  I suspect I'm missing something obvious about the barber drawings, but I think they're great.  (OK, admittedly, not great like Andrew's or Tas's, but great for us folk who can't draw. :D )

Well, while the former wasn't properly a stickman...

Yes, well, close enough.  No idea what we call our stick-ish drawings, so we'll just be inclusive an keep them all. :D

here, prompted by "Would like help identifying a Onoto pen", I know, way too literal, but...

Thanks! When I saw the thread title, that it:

  • has seven syllables;
  • ended with the word ‘again‘ (and which, in my mind, is where the emphasis would be if the question was asked aloud); and
  • has the word ‘time’ in it,

somehow made my mind take just a jump to the left and think, ”Let's do the time warp again!” and then the talk of baldness in conjunction with long hair just cemented the image of the Riff Raff character in my head.

Hah! I also thought of a dutiful page when I read that!!!

 

Then I thought of doodling something and adding it to THAT discussion. Then I thought that maybe I should do it to every discussion whose title lends itself to misinterpretation. Then I thought that that's how I tend to get banned from places...

:D Isn't it fun how the mind makes these "jumps to the left"?  The human brain is a magnificent thing!  Thanks for sharing the route your brain took from A to B.  :)

Yes! Yes! and Yes!  :D  Some people just have no sense of humor. :rolleyes:

Or it could have been like this:

but then it wouldn't have been as much fun. ;)

 

Aside: I only just realised yellow ink is very useful when it comes to drawing! And there I was, fretting only a few days ago over why I bothered buying not just one but two 50ml bottles of Robert Oster Yellow Sunset for A$5 apiece…

Bah!  I had figured out the geographic arrangement, but I didn't realize the numbers were based on international calling codes!  (PS: My research says +7 is Russia.)

:)  Yes, yellow ink is primarily for drawing - at least in my opinion.  Glad you've found a use for your bottles of yellow ink. :D

Well, that was the question (or puzzle) of which I made specific mention, when talking about what and how I would send. The somewhat geographical placement of individual vials was just so that it gave me a sense of order while packing them.

Oh, you're right! Silly me, I was searching for 7[0-9], but of course 7* as a shell wildcard would mean 7.*, and I never thought to look for that in the list. My mistake.

      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
