== Lamy Safari ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, that's so good. So good. Um, this is, what, three episodes into this conversation of our Lamy Safari versus Lamy AL star, right? Mm-hmm. You know, I think we've about beaten it to death. But, uh, I got, uh, I was waiting in the airport last Thursday heading out to LA. And I was like, oh, I should just put up a poll on Twitter to choose for all of our, all my followers, Lamy Safari or Lamy AL star. Mm-hmm. And being the dummy that I am, like, I knew I had to go to Twitter itself to create the poll. And then I didn't put in the text that this is a poll for everyone in a third-party client because polls aren't allowed in third-party clients. So not everyone. It's so annoying. Yeah. So once I started getting a bunch of responses, the way I phrased it, people were telling me, like, basically, what's the one pen they would use for the rest of their life, you know? So I got a lot of good answers like that, except they weren't answering the poll because they didn't, through no fault of their own. I see.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because you said you have one, you can have one fountain pen and choose correctly. So people are going to say, like, sailor, like, it's just going to carry on forever. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I had, like, a million responses. And I was like, oh, I should, I screwed that up. But still, we ended up with 305 responses to the survey, which I think is a pretty good, pretty good number, or 303. And the winner, Lamy Safari at 55% versus 45% for Lamy AL Star.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think over 300 votes is, like, that's scientifically. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I think that's a valid number. Mm-hmm. Yeah. To get a good representation. And actually, that's about where I thought it would fall. Like, it's awfully close. And they're obviously both good pens. We're just having more fun with this than we, any normal people would have. But I thought, let's click some buttons from all my followers and see what we say. So I thought it was a good representation of everything. And, you know, the AL Stars, or All Stars, I still don't know what's the official phrasing of it. They were campaigning hard. You know, they put on a good campaign to try to get those numbers up. But in the end, the one drew Lamy one, and that's the Safari. So there you have it. The people have spoken, Myke. Club Safari forever.
