Clicky Tops or Twistie bottom.

[tamtamg]

Ok, just a quick fun question. Which do you prefer. Clicky tops or twisty bottom pens? Me personally i love my a clicky top pen cause it's so satisfying to hear the click. your thoughts.

Clicky, but you omitted regular old pens from your poll. ;)

[mikec]

The pens I carry have caps that you pull off.

Those pens don't exist in my world. Especially those cheap BIC ones, how i loathe BIC pens.

[ryudo]

I don't really care a pen is a pen...ok I hate fountain pens..the feel and sound makes my spine cringe and my teeth grind other than that don't care as long as it writes.

What's wrong with a Bic pen? Yes, it isn't the greatest writing device ever but it does it's job rather well. Plus, in a store or other business where the company supplies pens and they may walk away, they don't cost that much. First pen snob I have ever seen.

Boo :D.

I like pens with actual ink --- ink that can actually go through the paper.

Bic pens have cruddy looking black ink

Scrubs. i just saw the episode today.

Clicky tops, no question.

I use a mechanical pencil more than a pen, and my pencil of choice is a cheapo Bic comfortgrip #2 0.7mm. It has a clicky top.

Today when a pen goes dry, we throw it away. This was not always the case:

Back in the 1940s, people would by nice looking pens, with gold plating and stainless steel. These pens were intended to last for a very long time (notice the ink refilling "snorkle"). :D

Thank you!

Then lucy walks in and ink squirts everywhere and their faces get turned black ..ricky comes home catches ethel and lucy in some crazy scheme and ricky says "LUCY YU GOT SOME SPLAININ TO DO!"

Then spanks her and somewhere along the line Fred passes out due to the hefty 5.85$ she spent on the pen.(in 1958 5$ was like 500$ today):p

Can't believe you didn't make any jokes about tops and bottoms. . . especially twisty bottoms.

Agreed. I click my pen all day. It annoys people around me, but I don't really care. :D

[skyz]

i like gel pens in pretty pastel colors :)

Agreed. I click my pen all day. It annoys people around me, but I don't really care. :DTHe only thing more annoying in an office than a clicky pen is a clicky mouse button. I am visiting our home office this week and borrowed a mouse with the loudest buttons I think I have ever heard. I will be glad to get back to my nice quiet mouse (and loud music) next week :)

[mikec]

There is a producer that I work with several times a year who keeps starting and stopping his stop watch, all during a game. It beeps every time he hits the start button. Makes me want to tape his hands to the side of his body.

Other then that habit that he probably doesn't know he does, he is a great guy.

[gimpbully]

I was pretty sure that was Gillette (well, specifically the disposable blade razor, I suppose)
-signed, a proud bostonian
Razors to.

Lol, you would HATE to be my co-worker. :D

Actually, I have my own office so I can click away (pen and mouse*) to my heart's content, without having to drive anyone to drink (or worse).

*There is a joke here, but I don't want to offend. ;)

Try. No mice read this board.

eh, like most like me, I'm versatile, so the concept never crosses my mind. So when I think tops and bottoms, i think tight white ribbed "wifebeater" and a 'hugging' pair of black boxer-briefs.


(yes, I hate the term wifebeater, but I don't mean "tank top")

I agree and I'd tack on... Jame Bond Goldeneye. Everyone should now know.

[bigshotprof]

Twisty bottoms . . . oh! Pens!

[murphy1d]

OK, I'm that guy who has to have his Montblac Meisterstuck clipped to his shirt at all times. Yes, it's a $100 pen, but I have had it for 11 years and have never lost it once. Plus, the pen slows down my chicken scratch so that people have a chance to read it.

But sadly, I have to remove the top and place it down or in my pocket, or else overtime it breaks the seal for the cap. And people who borrow the pen always have to get the "don't put the cap on the back of the pen" speech from me.

Very doucheish, but I can't go to work without it now. Its like a watch to me.
