At what point have I lived in the wizarding world long enough to tell the lot of you that the ballpoint pen is nearly sixty years old and is not a technology to be afraid of? If you dislike the idea of brios, may I suggest fountain pens with refillable chambers have been in existence since the 1850s. Heck, even dip pens are better than quills. Less likely to get broken.

This is brought to you by the fact that I am pretty sure I've gone through half a dozen quills in the last two weeks.

I think I might have gone out on a date? Only I'm not sure if it was a date. But it kind of felt like a date, only we weren't the only ones who went out for a drink.

[Monte]
I had a good time over drinks Thanks for inviting me When's the next Falcons game?

No. That's like the one thing I'm sure of.

If it were a date, you'd at least have gotten a kiss on the cheek.

But we kind of ignored everyone else that went for drinks too.Now you know why I'm confused.

You are 100% on the money about pens. I know what to get you for Christmas whoa, slow down, me It's a little ridiculous.

[Justin]
Not 'til 26 January, I'm afraid, but we'll have practice through the break, then the holidays, then back for more practice. Die hard fan now, are you? Meant to say, I really liked the jersey- even if that sounds a bit self-serving.

And they're not bloody expensive either. Well, they can be, but they're less likely to break than most quills.

[Monte]
I may be on my way. I think you've swayed me from Montrose at least.

Right? You can buy a ten pack down at the corner store for a couple of quid! I'm glad you can't see me right now, because I'm actually yelling at my journal.

I'll make sure there are tickets with your name on them.

Do you think we can start handing out pink pens or something? Maybe people just don't realise how useful they are.....

[Monte]
Thanks, but don't they sort of ration those? I could probably buy my own. It's not a hardship.

My friend, it's like you're trying to tell sharks the advantages of a bony skeleton. You can be as right as rain, but the answer is eventually going to be "will, I'll stick with cartellige. Must not be to bad because we are kings of the sea."

Wizards have a bus and a train (just one of each, mind you). They have to absorb the early 20th century before you move the, on to the mid...

Fountain tip pens with reservoirs predate a bus with a diesel motor.

[info]left_magpie

While the bus is based on the old number 11, it doesn't actually have a motor.

But shark-logic doesn't care. We've also got wireless and adverts but no telly. It's a crazy mish-mash of unsupportable technologies crammed together based on no logic at all.

You want Biros? You can't be logical about it, you have to use shark-logic. Figure out how to make them trendy. Get Rita Skeeter to endorse them. Or maybe to anti-endorse them. Get Gilderoy Lockhart to make a statement that he only signs books using genuine FF-brand Biros...

That's how you get Biros.

There is logic behind it. Satellite signal picture compression is very difficult to get through most household warding; it doesn't reassemble correctly.

Can't sharpen a biro.

Your mother looked at me like I was obviously mental when I asked her how to make the tip finer on a biro.

Then you get a finer tip pen. Or a pencil.

Pens are certainly a lot easier to use when trying to write notes down quickly. Even when I was careful I could never manage to write as quickly with a quill.
