Can A Man Use Yama Budo?

[79spitfire]

If we merge this thread with the discussion of cat dieties in the Ignore this Test thread in the Pelikan forum, we'll either hit nirvana or the universe will implode. :ltcapd:

I'm willing to have a go...

 

I think that means I have to go buy a $30 some odd dollar bottle of ink...

 

A pea green box....

 

And find that darn owl!

Local surplus shop is crawling with pea green boxes. How many you want?

 

And I see Yama-Budo is in stock at our favorite ink pushers. <Enabler warning!>

 

Good luck with that owl. Mine refuse to cooperate. :meow:

If those pea-green boxes are in fact tesseracts and my cat would feel comfortable controlling my universe while sleeping in one, then please place an order for two of them for me. Also I think some one needs to speak to Nathan about a pea-green ink. I am very sad that current circumstances dictate that I am not enable-able. I have only used Yama Budo once, when I went to visit a fellow FPNer, who had a sample, and at that time decided it was an ideal ink for my magenta coloured Soennecken. My owls keep leaving magenta coloured bits of rabbit all over the place.

And if you like really big guns, you can have a Hello Kitty Tank: http://www.kittyhell.com/2010/04/16/hello-kitty-tank/

 

If you want to take your girlfriends for a night out, there is always the Hello Kitty armoured personnel carrier: http://www.kittyhell.com/2007/07/19/hello-kitty-armoured-personnel-carrier/

 

The armoured-personnel carrier is just Wrong. So Very Very Wrong. In so many ways. I think I've been emotionally scarred for life (it's one of those "What has been seen cannot be unseen" moments).

My brain hurts.

Well, I suppose it's better than leaving magenta colored Howler message ash everywhere....

I have not tried Yama Budo. How does it compare color-wise to Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (which in a non-flexing nib is a really nice dark red violet or magenta black) or R&K Solferino (which I got to try the other night)?

No shading but the flow is similarly wet and the color satisfies in a way that's hard to describe. I've gone thru half a bottle in an embarrasingly short time. :embarrassed_smile:

 

I don't know about tesseracts, but the pea green boxes are stencilled with mil-spec serial numbers and deciphering some of the codes can result in mental meltdowns that may resemble the effects of one. :hmm1:

 

I think we DO need to talk to Nathan about a pea green. If he gives it properties like Blue Nose Bear or Rome's Burning, I think we'll have a hit! :clap1:

He could call it 'Black Swan in California field peas'

 

Add small red-brown highlights and he could call it 'Pea soup with bacon' That would be a hit, EVERYONE likes bacon http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink020.gif

Absolutely not. Pea soup is a Canadian tradition. It is my go to emergency, when I cannot be bothered to cook, and I need to eat now, especially when it is -20 outside, food.

See here http://www.campbellsoup.ca/en-ca/products/habitant/habitant-french-canadian-pea-soup

I am putting my foot down. It must be called Canadian Pea Soup, or else I will have a snit.

It's actually a European tradition, It was made better on this side of the Atlantic by adding bacon. Besides that stuff is the wrong color! Andersen's Pea soup

 

They offer it both ways, BTW, with and without bacon!

 

Is all Canadian pea soup that ghastly yellow color?

The World Supreme Council on Inks should decree that, from now on, men can only use manly coloured inks, and women feminine ones. Perpetrators will be immediately zapped. And since the colour of Yama Budo looks to this self appointed Councilman as a mixture of red and blue tints, it is thus ruled as beloning to the cross-gender nebula and has to be banned. All Yama Budo inks should be destroyed immediately, and anybody found with a bottle of that will....You get the idea.

 

Yama Budo in Japanese means 'mountain grape'. We will first have to determine the gender of the Japanese grape vine before any appeal to that decree is allowed.

[Moondust]

now we're talking. The inkuisition is back!

Would that be the Orthodox World Supreme Council? Their diktats do not apply to me. I am a member of the Supreme World Order of Progressive Inkantabulists and hereby reject your backsliding and hysterical dogma, as heresy. If you plan to dispute the correctness of our one true philinkophy, please refer to the images in my earlier posts to show the methods we have at our disposal to underline the logic of our position.

Really? Inks have a gender?

I think I will go and do something rude with my Hope Pink.

[mchenart]

No, 79spitfire, inks don't have genders (in English, but perhaps in French, they do), but trees do, and you can read about it here. Since Yama Budo is a tree, it must have a gender (or genders) too.

 

The World Supreme Council on Inks is directly under the World Supreme Council of Fountain Pen Geeks, and has the final words on ink etiquette and use. We don't just rule which kinds of ink a man or a woman can use, but what sort of ink a particular pen should be fed as well. For example, can you imagine inking your cute Sailor Hello Kitty pen with anything BUT pink ink? Sucking black ink into a MB Greta Garbo is a sin. Masculine black, blue and dark green are reserved for the exclusive use by men. This way, you won't waste money on inappropriate inks, plus save you from the embarrassing moments of having to defend for your masculinity (or femininity).

 

Don't you love the good old days when everything was laid out neat and tidy for everyone?

The World Supreme (lol) Council are just wannabees. The wonderful thing about us progressives, is that we never need to defend our masculinity, or femininity, or whatever. Also any ink made for a fountain pen is not "inappropriate" by definition.

[Gcouch]

Really it's your choice, but I think it's a little too pink. I wouldn't use it myself.

Whew! For just a second there I thought I was going to have to moderate today. Thanks, Gcouch.

That seems to make sense. I may buy a bottle for special use though since I like the color.

 

Not being able to see colors properly means I am at least partially reliant on opinions of others to avoid the look of an eccentric or to avoid giving the completely wrong impression in some cases. I often ask people a battery strange sounding questions about their feelings for a certain color or shade, trying to understand stereoscopically, what social impression they will make.

[Ghost Plane]

Fair enough. And thank you for tolerating our thread hijack. It's been a hoot.

 

Hoot? :blink:

 

Uh oh. There's that stray owl from the Test thread in the Pelikan forum.
