Let's face it, it's attractive, it's unusual, but, at bottom, O.R. is just another shade of red. And red is not for correspondence. Mother knows best. Well, doesn't it depend on the correspondent? In formal circumstances, using any colour that calls attention to itself in any way is probably not a good idea. But not all circumstances are formal. David |

have enough ink. Well, I am losing that argument. Fortunately, when you argue with yourself, you can win even when you lose. I lose and win arguments with myself all the time. either we're nuts, or we're both normal. either way - we win! :-) I used to talk to myself frequently. But unfortunately, I lost my phone number. Now I'm very lonely. |

"Viseguy" wrote in message om... A couple of months ago, in a flush of enthusiasm over one of Nathan's new inks, I wrote a rather long letter to a European friend, five or six pages, in Ottoman Rose. At the time I thought it was way cool to use this new incarnation of a long-lost "classic" color, but now ... I think it was a mistake. Let's face it, it's attractive, it's unusual, but, at bottom, O.R. is just another shade of red. NO-nononononono! Red is RED and OR is ROSE, a very dignified way for a guy to write with pink 'cause it's a deep pink and doesn't look frilly or feminine like Sheaffer's pink. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.

I used frilly ink once, and it just didn't suit me. Dave We can call someone a he-man: Why don't we call the other kind a she-man? |

I know what you're thinking, punk. Did I use Sheaffer's Pink or Ottoman Rose? Well, in all the excitement I sorta lost track myself. But seeing as how this is a Pelikan M1000, the most commodious fountain pen in the world, and can stain your shirt right through, you gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? Anyway, I like OR a lot, and use it for correspondence. -- Al B. Wesolowsky o Unlike J. W. Hardin, my foolish moves o have been many. Boston University o ---Michael Murphey |

That's exactly what I kept telling myself as I wrote the letter! Alternating with, "A red Phileas is a very dignified way for a guy to write with a pink pen." And, "It's not like I'm writing on pink paper or anything!" Very comfortable with my feminine side, I am. Well, I think this trans-Atlantic friendship will survive six pages of O.R. OTOH, he hasn't answered my letter.... Oh god, he doesn't LOVE me anymore!!!! I mean ... hey! yo! whazzup, buddy? -- ViseGUY, who never, EVER writes letters with SHAH's Rose (and only occasionally uses pink paper) |

I followed Ottoman Rose with Widow Maker in my red Phileas, but I haven't had the nerve to write anyone with Widow Maker 'cause of the Echo of Mom. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.
