Pencils?  I am not sure what they are anymore.  I spend too much time staring at white screens with black text all over them.  Although it gets really fun when they are blue screens with white text.  BSOD! BSOD!

Pencils?  I still use'em all the time, it's just harder to erase the mistakes...expensive too.  Everytime time I "erase" one, the monitor stops working, and I have to buy a new one !  I tried erasing the whole page, but when I turn it back-on, the mistake is STILL THERE !  My monitor used make a lot of mistakes, but I turned-up the 'brightness' and now it's WAAAY smarter !

I so rarely use a pencil that when I do use one around the house that has been moved from house to house for the last 2 decades that the eraser is so dried up and when I go to erase something it tears the paper. I can't even erase mistakes on lumber while doing carpenter work around the house, so I just have to scribble through the old mark.

Haha, good man

I haven't used pencil for years, but I do remember those years when I indulged myself in drawing trying to forget the day and night fighting between my parents. That is a wonderful life experience, I enjoyed drawing so much then....  of course, I used many pensils

Who actually still uses pencils... lead pencils are the future.

In all honesty, I use a few of them every couple of weeks.  I pick up odd flooring installation jobs (tile and wood) and as surprising as it sounds, you still need a good pencil to mark what you have to cut.  The strange thing is that now Homey-Deep-Oh sells them in an odd shape (<=> no longer O).  Strange don't you think?

The flat ones are good.  They don't roll-away when you set them down.

Don't know how this is significant, but for some reason, I feel like it belongs here...

 

Haha I remember that thing about the upside down pen by NASA... the Russians used a pencil!

help me out here.....if "mechanical pencils" are used "by hand"......how did they get THAT name ?   "refillable pencil" would seem to be a more accurate name.....?

hmmm....curious.

Hm... interesting... you are right!

What about "extendable pencil"?

No, never mind that sucks.

That sounds like pencil getting longer, not the actual lead. =P.

  or some kind of attachment that is PUT on a pencil !   lol

A pencil attachment. There's gotta be a market for that. As long as the buyers aren't yellow that is.

An extended eraser!

Could they be extensible as well as extendable?  Maybe even expendable?

 

Oh, and definately yellow

Pretty-sure they already ARE that !  

Alright you got me there.  I need to choose my words more carefully here if we are going to parse them...

Haha, I got a sticky pad on my monitor today, and it is quite convenient. You wanna know what colour it is, click here:
