I was going to order it, but they wanted $14.95 for shipping and that's just a ripoff.

Yawn!

[tanburi]

Hmm. I'm sure it talks but does it write?

[Paddler]

Would you ink it?

It produces its own ink inside and the color changes with the mood it's in.

Show respect. It has feelings.

too blingy for me

[argonavis]

Nuts. I'd rather have about 100000 Pelikanos.

Looks more like a dill pickle to me.

[matje]

the "that happens to write"-thing sounds intriguing to me.

will it do it on occasion or just irregularly?

[penspouse]

I think it would clash with my jeans and flannel shirt.

[Marko Kloos]

Call me a cynic and a party pooper, but if Montblanc truly wanted to show "unconditional dedication and passion to the handwritten word", they'd also make school pens, and pens that cost less than a mortgage payment.

[jniforat]

agreed. looks like a pickle.

Or perhaps a striped cucumber or zucchini?

Aw ... you guys are just "sour grapes". You'll be SO jealous five years from now when I pick this up used on Ebay for $20 and $4 shipping.

But wait! If you order now, they will include a personalized feather duster and 3 Ginzu knives. Order before midnight and they double the offer - just pay seperate shipping and handling. Ink? If you order any three bottles of ink they will throw in an autographed album of Sweating to the Oldies and a Richard Simmons pair of stripped short shorts. When you charge that kind of money for a pen, you can offer a lot of premiums. /Craig

Impossible. Pickles gain value with time.

To be honest (I am every now and again) I really did think of a cucumber first, but then I didn't want to overdo things.

Is Mont Blanc living in the Delta Quadrant now, or have they not been reading the Business Page in the paper for the past 2 years?
