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!

WOW!! Where did you get yours, Cindy?? I have a Office Max nearby. I'll be going there tomorrow to check them out .

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.

You have three Namikis? Dang!

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!

I need to go to Staples Today - I will look for it. Used to love my fountain pens! Blue is my color!

They haven't made it to Maine yet! I went to Staples, Office Depot and Wally World.... none nope notta! Gas to expensive to ship them up here!

I couldn't find half the things I needed so I am going to do an order on line, maybe I can find them there!

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.
