More useful on a blue or red pen, though, obviously

I mean geez, it's like you guys have never done copyediting on the subway

nabisco, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:10 (sixteen years ago) link

i wish the pen was better. and the post it note was further up on the pen, towards the non writing part of the pen.

i have copyedited on the bus and the subway, but i don't use stickies to copy edit so maybe that's my basic problem--plus i am very picky about the way pens feel

No, I hate fat pens like that, too. I rarely edit anything huge enough to need lots of stickies, but if you're working with a 500 page stack, or something, flagging things is ... necessary. Maybe they could wrap them around a thinner pen (with a better ball and more gel ink)

i would totally use that pen and all its functions! esp if there was also lip balm and a flashlight! and a mini taser!

but yeah i never use thick/fat pens like that. pencil width is ideal width but not a lot of pens are that thin. also yeah where wld the stickies go, i don't know, maybe on a wrist cuff <-- NERDDS

xpost to leafblowers - in college, i worked at the theater in town that showed rocky horror on friday at midnight. yeah, we used them to blow toast, playing cards and toilet paper out of the rows and into the aisles.

i hated those rocky horror fuckers.

so, yeah, useful.
