Ok. Where are all of my f'ing pens?!?
 

In my lifetime I have bought thousands of dollars worth of pens. Good pens. When I wanted to start writing a paper this evening, I could not find one!!!

I'm pissed.

So. Where are they?!? :mad2:

That was my dads desk , Big ole Pine thing , I like it .

That's not Zippy's desk. There's no pron on the monitor.

That rocks. I love spaces like that. My study is a bit like that. My wife won't even go in there except to pile more of my stuff in it.

Ha! He pulled the Hanes off the desk before he took the second picture!

Better Splode ??

Oh and I even get to have a Small part of the coat closet to !

That a fly rod case i the back left, Zip?

It's okay, zip, a lot of people keep spooge rags by the monitor. You don't have to be coy about the Hanes.

The Man Office Sanctioning Committee officially sanctions this, as an official Man Office. The Committee rates it a nine point five out of ten.

Now of course, in the M.O. ratings, open circuitry is always a major bonus. Your eye is naturally drawn towards it, as you wonder whether there's any voltage enough to spark if you nudge against it.

But it's the little things that always impress the Committee the most. The multi-tool sitting in front of the keyboard. The unstained, makeshift shelf. Not only is there undressed, unhidden wiring, but it's leading up to the ceiling. On the left there appears to be a greasy food tray with a coke from a local pizza place (none of that Pizza Hut crap), with -- and this is the kicker -- three screwdrivers on it. Magnifico!

The carpeting is pure Man, boldly announcing that there is no possible color scheme to this area. But the piece de resistance? The hard outer shell, padded handle, faux wood exterior with the steel edge BRIEFCASE. A case that has now lasted a lifetime, and must still see some use. It's hidden just slightly behind the purple waste bin.

By the way, that bin was the only deduction by the Committee. Its terrible attempt to bring color to the area was offensive to start, but then, look at the size of the thing. Three beers and a small pizza box, and it's at capacity.

But this is only a blemish on what is, otherwise, a superb entry, and we hope that this can be corrected in 2010 so that you might move into the finals.

Is that a Christmas Yoda? WTF?

Doesn't the patina of protective dust make up for some of that trash can debacle, or is that just so standard that it really doesn't get a point value?

But it was stolen - doesn't that count for bonus points?

Yes classic they are fly rods ,

And might I point out to the MOSC the Vintage Snap on Tool Bikini girl clock And the Neon carona Sign .

The Prerequisite Shelf-o-Stuff ,

And the Book case shelf full-o-stuff and old tech manuals

I saw that. And still in the box. Heh.

I also note the ?large cal shell casing in pic three. Bravo. You have a man cave.

That's an awesome Man-den, Zippy, I admire your Kangaroo-paw bottle opener and kangaroo-scrotum dope-pouch I mean coin-purse.

A beer sign is de rigeur to the Committee (you can't buy or steal your way into this competition!), but they probably would have given you an extra tenth if they'd realized that the shelving was the old "metal brackets stuck right on the wall" variety.

Zippy also has my computer........Say it isn't so!!!! :)

Update:

I now have 2 shoddy pens in my possession. I plan to keep it that way....(Unless I decide to restock under lock and key)

I miss my Sharpie pens. They were lovely....Especially the Mediterranean Blue ones. I hope they are living better lives, wherever they are...

I now feel very silly for decorating my computer area in My Little Pony.

UT - that was some beautiful writing. You're a natchural.

Fixed it fer ya, Zip!

Oh, and Cic, your pens? My mum had them all along - I found around 200 of the dang things when clearing out her house. We've adopted them which won't, of course, stop Best Beloved from buying a new one every time he wants to complete a crossword (i.e. every day:eek:).
