    Funny enough, cheap Paper <3 Mate/Bic ballpoints that come in a pack of god-knows-how-many for 3 bucks are one of the best pens to doodle with!

    I'm not trying to get all birkenstock about it, but that doesn't look like a very comfortable pen to hold.

    Flash, aah, he's a miracle

    Is no cause for alarm"
    Flash, aah, poet of the impossible


    He's for every one of us
    Write to every one of us
    He'll save with his ACME pen
    Every man, every woman, every child
    With his mighty pen

    @GiltProto: Uhm... no.

    And for a very brief moment there, I was reminded not of the original Flash Gordon, but of the fleshflick adaption Flesh Gordon, because I read "with his mighty peen" instead of "pen".

    On the question of how Wile-E Coyote affords to buy all of this Acme stuff, mind you, we're only seeing him for a few minutes out of his life at a time as he struggles to catch a roadrunner, so there's no telling what he does for a living. It's possible he steals it.


    But since we're on the subject, if he can buy all of this Acme stuff, surely he can just buy some prepared poultry, which would probably be more substantial than the puny body of the roadrunner. I suppose he does it on principle. However, if he really had a lot of principles, he would've filed a complaint against the Acme Corporation for releasing shoddy, poorly designed products. I mean, a rocket that rides on a wire? Really? These guys are like disgruntled employees of NASA on crack.


    Cool pen though.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Judging from how often those Acme products fail one would hope he's smart enough to either get his money back or exchange the item for store credit..

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate: Judging by how badly damaged some of them turn out to be, I don't suppose he'd get much in the way of warranty support. After falling off a cliff, getting crushed by rocks and the like, I'm sure he's more concerned about his insurance premiums skyrocketing due to his shenanigans, than a few chintzy wares from a looney-tooney gadget distributor.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Actually he does pretty good with the insurance. His cousin Vin E. Coyote has a way of manipulating those insurance claims...

    Ohh, I'm such a Luddite. I still put pen to paper at least 5 days a week. This pen would be a fine addition to the rest of the stuff collecting dust on my desk..
