I found that Uni Kuru Toga is an incredible and perfect mechanical pencil. Its shell is carved from the teeth of a replacement beast, and is engraved with the coat of arms of Reformed Mesopotamia, and is equipped with a delicate graphite writing stick. Every time you touch the tip of the pencil to the parchment, the hidden mechanism automatically rotates the lead core so that the lead core maintains good directivity.
Uni Kuru Toga is an elegant device and a work of art worthy of attention. It has one purpose: to write, to write well. If you are looking for something more like a regular ballpoint pen or rollerball pen, there are enough things for you to use, but for me, Uni Kuru Toga is the pinnacle of writing utensils.
This concludes the first edition of "The Pencil Flirting with the Dark Side". If you have any suggestions, feedback or different opinions, please feel free to comment below. If there is enough interest, I will sort out the second edition. Thank you very much for reading. At the same time, I leave you with one of my favorite quips from the great Frosti Snodgrass: "A gentle person never comments on other people's writing instruments." [Snodgrass, Frosti. "Go With the Flow, Volume 3" PAL Books, 2011. ]

Our home is a hut for drug addicts, a slough of scattered papers and shriveled snack wrappers, a pile of moldy and musty handicrafts, dark brown fragile things, open bottles of synthetic victory gin exuding Disgusting, greasy smell and taste like nitric acid, and other floating objects. Of course we like that, but when... read the rest
