This is a riot, there is now a disposable fountain pen! A friend told me about it so I went and got some tonight. It's the Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen. They're a little toothy in the nib, but the body is light, slim and balanced and the mediumish nib leaves a nice, wet line. It dries well and does not bleed through the paper.
If you've had a hankering to play with a fountain pen again but aren't up to the whole bottle/piston/vac filling thing, this is your new best friend! Cool colors look great and at $2.00 a shot, if you mangle it or lose it, you'll shed no tears. We may be able to convert those gelheads yet!

They'll probably have it, J, school supplies are already crowding the aisles at Staples where I got them. The 3-pack, Black, Blue & Purple set me back all of $6.00.
I didn't expect to like them as much as I did, it certainly doesn't feel like a "real" FP (Pelikan, Aurora, Lamy, etc.) but it does write almost like one. It's just fun to mash on a pen a little and see what happens! Get them for toys and give them as trinkets. They're just fun.

GREAT, now I gotta run to Staples. I LOVE fountain pens, it's all I write with, My favorite is the vanishing point retractable fountain pen by Namiki (Pilot) I have 3 of them but want something I won't mind if I lose. If I lost a Namiki I would be heartbroken.
Thanks Cin, I appreciate it.

I love that pen AMN!
In fact it looks so good that I've decided to start a pen collection! All those who wish to send me pens, please PM me for my address so that I may get my pen collection up and running! Thank you!

Well that's just unAmerican! Nuts. They do have them at Staples.com and the others. If you can't get it soon, give me a buzz and I'll freakin' drive one up there to you! A girl should never be without a fleet of decent pens. It's just wrong.
