You Guys Owe Me $35.00

[Zeke]

Reading this forum gave me a bug. I got the itch and had to buy a new fountain pen... my very first fountain pen. I bought a new Parker GT, a bottle of Noodlers Red-Black, and a bottle of Noodlers Black. I got it all in today... already did some writing with it and I LOVE it! How did I live so long without a fountain pen??? LOL

Oh yeah, I bought a Parker converter for it to. So you owe me an extra $10. You can pay me in form of other fountain pen goodies.

By the sound of it, we have paid you with a reason to get a nice pen. When was the last time you typed a message where you stated, "already did some writing with it and I LOVE it!" ?

[Rockminer]

You should pay us for enabling you LOL.

Congrats on the new stuff.

You're right! It really is nice. I already told my wife that I wouldn't be too disappointed it a Lamy Safari showed up on Christmas morning. lol

 

[hillbilly pick]

Safari's are nice!

Guess we got you Hooked, lever, and snorkel

 

[jovan]

Another convert. Welcome.

 

[Jut]

if $35 is all you spend, you should give us all a quarter for not enabling you more

35 bucks.... you got off easy, we will work to address this soon

I think the OP is confused. We are all acquisition consultants. We'll send you our bill, Zeke.

Enjoy the new pen and ink! You need some decent Rhodia or Franklin-Christoph paper now.

[Zeke]

Thanks, guys. LOL

I was doing some further reading on here and decided I might need to try a Pilot 78g, so I ordered a green one for me and a red one for the wife for Christmas... "so it begins." LOL

Off now to check out that Rhodia and Franklin-Christoph paper.

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

$35 will soon be the tax on an order - start saving up now.

 

[bryant]

Another newb here...just had to say that you have a beautiful pen. I may have to look at picking up one of those.

Just wait until you try that first vintage semi-flex or italic nib, then you'll be spending all your money on tools, parts pens, buffing, cleaners, etc.

It is always great to have another Fountain Pen Nerd.

That sentence somehow made my heart beat a little faster. LOL

Can't wait! This is the first "collection/hobby" that has sparked an interest in me in quite awhile. And yea, I ordered the Franklin-Christoph paper. haha

The Nib awaits another:

[hillbilly pick]

And here we go!!!

 

[Boro62]

hahaha nice!!! ya i came for the shaving, landed in the brown leaf, somehow managed a stewardship in the hab, and found a rabbit hole in the nib.

btw, if you want to try something just cool, but isnt as easy as using a converter but is exponentially more awesome, vintage pens with different filling mechanisms.

o yea there's also the TWSBI's 580's and Vac's that hold a ton of ink and have cool filling mechanisms. The demonstrators will grow on you I promise.
