I bought my first fountain pen after stumbling upon this thread. After some research, I went with the Pilot Metropolitan thinking that it would be a good way to get my feet wet. I love it and will never go back to a ballpoint.

I once ate one peanut.

I once ate one potato chip.

Today I used my Platinum Izumo Ginsen Yakamonuri.


The next pen I buy will be the next to last pen I will ever buy.

What I want to know is was the chip a Lays? If so, you need to go to http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com and register to have that feat recorded!

You sir are the man I desire to be!

I did not use this beauty today, but it's a good excuse to post a pic.

Got a sweet incoming later this week.

I see no pic!!?? You have left us all in a state of waiting!

And the comment about something "incoming" with no more information than that would lead me to believe you have been at the cognac and cigars a bit too much today!

Oddly I see my pic in my post and your quote ... Photobucket is borderline unusable as of late. It will eventually show up.

As for the incoming ... let's say it'll be an endless night until it gets here ...

Very well!

Now you have flipped a big booger on us with the "endless night" comment. With a description like that it better write beautifully and tell time within plus or minus 6 seconds a day!

Can't wait to see it!

I will, if I can think of a way to make the shot interesting. Perhaps with a watch, a car, a sailboat or a beautiful woman.

I like them a lot (minus the BP which is nothing special).

The fountain has a Med nib, which is flexible enough and very comfortable. The pencil, I love (0.7 mm).

When it comes to a ballpoint, NOTHING beats my Surefire Pen II.
