Wow these are great! Thank you Plistumi for your note!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I haz another amazement.

"When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."

Here is another word: FRANKALMOIGNE and another sample of the famous Montblanc Toffee Brown (Thanks Amberleadavis. That is 2/seventysomething). Nice ink. The pen is one of my best vintage flexies, a Waterman 52.

 

 

Stompie! Thanks for your comment. Wow!

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

Plistumi,

 

When you are done, what will you do with these? Have you thought of framing them? I know of various people who would be happy to purchase originals.

Amber Lea, I was thinking I could steal the notebooks when Marta's not looking. Somehow.... Shhhh, don't tell her.

Oooo, bring a lot!

 

 

 

 

 

I was chuckling over what you said about selling Frank's inks while he's not looking. :-D

Yeah, but you'll notice I was only going to sell the Akkerman's which are replaceable. I didn't even think about selling the Parker Penman inks....though maybe we should take bids?

NO!

Plistumi,

 

When you are done, what will you do with these? Have you thought of framing them? I know of various people who would be happy to purchase originals.

I have not really given it a thought. One of my childhood hobbies was silkscreening, I could turn them into silkscreens and share the prints.

 

I just found out you were at the LI Pen show.... and with the BOOK !!!!

FountainPenKid on FPG told me it was amazing to see in person....

Man I wish I had known and got to see it ! :crybaby:

If you pop by the Big Apple Pen Club or the Long Island Pen Club we are likely to bump into each other. Maybe you can beat Ethernautrix or Amberleadavis to the notebooks. wink.gif

 

Frank C: No bids on the Penman Ink? Fudge.

 

Ether and Amberlea, I can't find my notebooks. Any clues?

 

 

Anyway, today's word is FREEDOM And, in light of Mike Bloomberg's attempt to make NYC healthier, I could not help but use a large sugary drink theme.

*Shrugs. Points at Amberlea.*

 

 

 

 

 

:-)

 

Amberlea does have a history of committing the act of "conversion". I would start with her.

Sheesh Frank - just because I converted your ink to my personal use .... No reason to accuse me of theft. (For everyone else out there, conversion is TORT and theft is a CRIME, and torts are not tarts.) So, if you want your ink back, you'll have to sue me in replevin. Not to worry Plistumi, he left the ink here specifically so that we can get samples to you for the book.
