@fuzzylollipop: I don't know which is more awesome: Watching the pen twirling video, or learning that Koreans listen to an Italian version of DragonForce. Thanks!

Those special pens end up looking like miniature batons. lame.
Pen twirling has been around for a while. It's also not hard to learn. Taught myself some of the basic stuff during the span of one class period in middle school (so so long ago).

This is so nerdy it's almost a parody of itself. That said...I like nice pens and at under ten bucks the first two aren't bad.

Wow.
I know some cup stackers that would be PERFECT for these guys.

This is one of those things I REALLY cherish my ignorance of.

The human hand is amazing! Most people don't know that the hand qualifies as a precision instrument capable of making adjustments of 1/10,000 of an inch!

@fuzzylollipop: Madness.

Part of me wishes I could do that to distract people during class and meetings.

Another part of me can't help but think it's a waste of advanced and opposable digits.

@someToast: We have to find a new one. The one we were using is full of milkcaps and pet rocks.

Is there an island to send pen-twirlers and cup-stackers?

Before the jump, the image reads "enmawash". I was totally expecting a high powered colon washer. I guess a perfectly ballanced light-bejeweled pen is cool too...I guess.

Anyone remember "Click Clacks" or "Clackers"?

This will surely go the way of the clackers, without all the pesky broken wrists and bruised forearms…..

So long as it is properly weighted so when I take it from Hideki's dazzling jazz handed display, I can wing it far out into the nearest body of water, to watch it sink while I chortle to myself.
