(can you tell which is made in the USA?)
It felt like Christmas, pretzels, if Christmas morning in my household meant unwrapping highly anticipated presents (it doesn't). It felt like Amazon-package-arrival day today when I opened the mail slot and noticed a package from Pilot Pens. If you haven't noticed, I love my Pilot pens. And I love free things. So when I read that one of my favorite comics Mitch Hedberg had written Uni-Ball and gotten a favorable response, I decided to write to Pilot. I told them that I love their products but that unfortunately, none of my favorite pens are available in the U.S., and asked for their help. They sent me 3 pens. The American version of my day-to-day pen, the BPS (above), the American version of my new favorite, the Supergrip (below), and a pretty nice, fine G-Tec C3. Unfortunately, my Christmas feeling lasted for about as long as it took for me to check the pens out. But hey, that's 2 more minutes than this day would have had. I still love Pilot. Even more now that they indulged my pen nerdiness and gave me a pen catalog (what do people do with those?). I still love the Pilot pens I bought in Taiwan. But the American pens (with the exception of the G-Tec, but that's too fine for every day use) are ugly and uncomfortable (insert American joke here). Next up: Dear Maserati?
