We all need to be edified every now and then.

[singdaw]

Well, looky! Page Six!

[Ron Pulliam]

Anent DR George's tale of the miscreant fountain pen:

Am I the only dear reader who feared his tale would reveal he was afflicted with a major ink stain on his shirt pocket?

Instead, his nibs were ruined.  Or was his nibs ruined?  Or does anyone ever use his nibs in a sentence any longer?

[singdaw]

Heaven forfend.

[singdaw]

  Am I the only dear reader who feared his tale would reveal a major ink stain on his shirt pocket? 

You are not.

[singdaw]

Yesterday, after doing the laundry, I found a click pen at the bottom of the washer AFTER removing the cleaned load from the tub.

[Jeanne]

I have never heard of closing when it isn't raining.  Do they offer a free wash if it rains within x number of hours?

I had never heard of it, either. No, Idon’t believe they offer that.

Then it is very strange they could only do a hand wash.

They were closed, but had access to water and soap.

[singdaw]

Miraculously, the pen still works AND it did not stain the laundry OR the washer.

  Am I the only dear reader who feared his tale would reveal a major ink stain on his shirt pocket? 

You are not.

That is certainly a relief!

[singdaw]

It's a Christmas Miracle!

[Jeanne]

I have been watching Our Miracle Years, a German series on PBS, part of the Walter Presents collection. It’s very good. It’s a story about a German family just after WWII. Worth watching.

This sounds good.  Do you mean Our wonderful years?

No, Our Miracle Years.

[singdaw]

  They were closed, but had access to water and soap.

All that you need for a soap bubble war!         

[singdaw]

  No, Our Miracle Years.

I'll have to look for that.

I feared the same. Giant ink stain.

Having finished all the seasons of Unforgotten, we're going to check out Annika next.

[singdaw]

We're half way through page six!

[singdaw]

Many hands make light work.

[Jeanne]

Having finished all the seasons of Unforgotten, we're going to check out Annika next.

Annika is very good.

[George]

Is it too soon for the Grinch?     

Wow!  That's quite inventive and very festive!

I feared the same. Giant ink stain.

YES!  And, while it's gratifying to know it was only a damaged nib that was experienced, I must say I was a bit disappointed in the denouement.

[Jeanne]

Miraculously, the pen still works AND it did not stain the laundry OR the washer.

You are very lucky. A few months ago I was taking a load of towels out of the dryer and found black streaks over many of my towels. A pen must have been in one of the machines, but  I never saw it. The streaks eventually washed out.

And now for something completely different:

The pen was in my pants pocket, so my fear was that it would leak onto my jeans. 

[George]

I've had pens in high school and college that would leak and I'd get ink all over my leg as well as the pocket and pants.

[John G.]

Watching the original The Cotton Club. I knew it was a mess, but the energy and the musical numbers were so good that I watched it twice.

[singdaw]

We like disasters averted.

[George]

And fortunately, only one pen fell on the floor, so only one nib was ruined.

[John G.]

The re-edited version has more Gregory Hines, but the energy isn’t quite as good.

[Jeanne]

And now for something completely different:

Yes, that’s what I was treated for last week!
