Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 That requires you to buy pens that have caps and risk going insane after losing said caps, though. Dikiyoba doesn't have many problems with people walking off with borrowed writing implements. Pens and pencils do seem to diappear once they hit the mess on Dikiyoba's desk, however. Perhaps the pen thieves in Dikiyoba's area are simply bored with failing to return pens that are loaned to them and prefer to break into people's houses in order to steal them instead.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You assume that your pens and pencils aren't escaping on their own. A professor I worked for said all his missing tools were escaping to tool heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A professor I worked for said all his missing tools were escaping to tool heaven. Tool heaven is a well documented occurrence, though. Writing utensil heaven is a new theory as of yet untested. In that regard it is not at all unlike sock heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Originally Posted By: Dantius My trick to do this is that I keep the cap. Capless pens are pretty much useless, so it insures that it is either returned, or the thief goes insane looking for the cap. I don't know what kind of pens you have, but in our house, the caps go in the garbage the second we start using one. They seem to work fine afterwords regardless. I was gonna post something yesterday, but then I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Anyone unwilling to have pockets full of ink and holes doesn't deserve pens in the first place. —Alorael, who should mention that he also only lends to those who can prove themselves worthy.

They already have Valentine's Day to make them feel bad about themselves; why compound insult with injury? Oh, that's right. Because it is humorous.

Try loaning out a crappy one next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying that violins stole your pen, or that the violins had some kind of psychoactive influence on the orchestra kids that make them do so?

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 In band, we refer to people who play instruments by what they play. I belong with the clarinets. The violins are both the violins and the violinists. If you were being sarcastic, I apologize. My mind is on K622.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It was a hand-written part that one of the clarinets was covering due to our lack of oboes. The conductor wrote it in pencil and then photocopied it, so she couldn't read it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The only thing I ever chew o now is this small metal rod, a little over an inch long. I took apart a motor one day and set the rod down, and then another day I just stuck it my mouth, and I have been chewing on it most days since then.
