    Ooh, Pilot Frixion, I like those. I did not expect myself to ever be able to get excited about pens, yet here I am.

    I love lending out Frixion Clickers out to my DnD friends and seeing them struggle with the click before they realise that the pocket clip is the thing that goes click.

    When I taught tertiary anatomy to sports science students. The school's stationary cabinet was a box of lost pens that the cleaners added to. The school wasn't great. Rather than buy new pens, we were to take from the box. I knew I wasn't being renewed next year so I came in on the holidays and took every four pen in that box. About fifteen of them. It's seen me good for for pens for about 13 years now. I still have a bunch kicking around. Mostly green/red left, but I use those to mark my ToDo lists with completed and delayed entries.

    I wish they sold cheap refills for the 4-pens but when I looked I could only find ones around the same cost as a new pen.
