I can't carry pens in my pocket. I'm afraid it'll puncture my scrotum. [/costanza]

That one was on the local FOX affiliate last night.

 

[Appgrad05]

I am all about the Jetstreams. Black or blue. Last year it got about as cold as it ever will in these parts and it didn't even hesitate. They're about 5 bucks for a pack of two, but it goes back to the company.

Pilot G2 gel ink. But I always keep a fine-tip felt pen, too, just in case.

>>They manufacture waterproof Reporter's notebooks? Wow, I never heard of that.<<

Developed by crazy hikers ... $3.85 for one.
Also used by cops and firemen.

And no pens with caps for me. Clicks or twists.
I always end up losing the caps and making a mess.

I used one of those Space Pens for years and loved it. Damn thing never froze up on me (although the metal could get a little warm in the summer).
It was advertised as a pen that would even work under water. Problem was, I never found paper that did the same.

OK, Klopmus.
Jerry: What kind of pen is that?
Jack Klompus: This pen?
Jerry: Yeah. Jack: This is an astronaut pen, it writes upside down, they use this in space.
Jerry: Oh wow, that's the astronaut pen, I heard about that, where did you get it.
Jack: Oh it was a gift.
Jerry: Because a lot of times, when I write in bed, and I have to turn and lean on my elbow, to make the pen work.
Jack: Take the pen.
Jerry Oh no.
Jack: Go ahead.
Jerry: I couldn't.
Jack Cmon take the pen!.
Jerry: I can't take it.
Jack: Do me a personal favor.
Jerry: No I'm not comfortable, I cannot take it.
Jack: Take the pen!
Jerry: Are you sure?
Jack: I'm positive, take the pen.
Jerry: Oh thank you very much, thank you, gee boy.

I'm still using Wynfrey hotel pens from SEC media days. When those run out, I'll turn to the 200 Hampton Inn pens I have.

The pen John Kruk uses to sign autographs.

This thread is getting funnier than "Pimp my Urinal."

What's scary is the humor is unintentional.

My pen!!!

[Mystery_Meat]

because it has to be done ...

Alex Trebek: Yeah, it was a trick question, Mr. Connery. Why don't you pick a category?
Sean Connery: I've got to ask you about the Penis Mightier.
Alex Trebek: What? No. No, no, that is The Pen is Mightier.
Sean Connery: Gussy it up however you want, Trebek. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?
Alex Trebek: It's not a product, Mr. Connery.
Sean Connery: Because I've ordered devices like that before - wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind telling you. And if The Penis Mightier works, I'll order a dozen.
Alex Trebek: It's not a Penis Mightier, Mr. Connery. There's no such thing!
Nicholas Cage: Wait, wait, wait.. are you selling Penis Mightiers?
Alex Trebek: No! No, I'm not.
Sean Connery: Well, you're sitting on a gold mine, Trebek!

I would like to third this opinion. The V5 is the ****. It's pretty much all I use (not counting, of course, as Michael pointed out, the many, many Marriott pens I inevitably have floating around).

Although I like the blue V5s better than the black, it's harder to find them in "Extra Fine"

 

[TwoGloves]

Try the fine-point Sharpies ... those will do you good in cold weather.

That's all I use now.

Bics SUCK. I wouldn't use a Bic with a gun to my head. The pens always run dry quickly...and I cannot tell you how many pairs of jeans I ruined in high school because a Bic pen exploded in my back right pocket.

Maybe if you didn't put them in your back pocket you wouldn't have sat on them and they wouldn't have exploded. Just a thought.

And my pen of choice is the Zebra F-402. Refillable and never fails, even if it does sound like a reject fighter plane from the Korean War.

 

[ink-stained wretch]

Liquid Expresso, very fine point for fair weather and indoors; pencil for night games and winter.

Where else can you find a message board that has multiple pages devoted to a thread on pens?
(Although, I must add that I did think this was of the Lemieux-Crosby variety at first.)

My pens? Two varieties: hotel and anything that comes free to the office in a news release. A random handful includes one from Ford (writes very well), GM (heavy, don't like it), one from that tax service that uses the Statue of Liberty in its advertising (not practical since it has a four-inch replica of the statue on top of it) and some purple one from whatever www.manugistics.com is.

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a pen.
