== Skulls Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. How's that, Father Kyle? We're going to... Perfect pivot. From our favorite Catholic priest to skulls. So I got a tweet yesterday or two days ago. Have you seen this? And it was a link to a Nakaya page. And I clicked over and I haven't seen it. And the title of the pen is Sumiko, a skull. And it's this ebonite charcoal looking pen body with a gold skull on top of the cap. It's not really like a stopper, but it's like a jeweled cap to the pen. And I was kind of fascinated by it. And then you... The cap's facing backwards on the pen. And I was like, well, why is that? Well, you look at it, the spine of the skull is actually the clip of the pen, which is just nuts. So I'm looking at this. Yeah. And I go, this is a Le Reyes pen if I've ever seen one. And...

'''Myke Hurley:''' What do you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What do you know? That day... And I tweeted her about this. Maybe he saw it first from there and linked to this. You know, maybe it went kind of backwards. But literally within an hour or two, here comes a post from Leigh with an even awesomer looking skull pen. This skull pen, I could get behind.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Hers is a... It's the same black pen, but it has a standard clip. And I don't know if this is silver or pewter looking skull. It probably says in here. This is a cool pen. I'm interested. You know that I love Nakaya. You know that I don't really love like jeweled adornments, things like this. I'm really kind of fascinated by this pen. What do you think of this pen?

'''Myke Hurley:''' This pen looks like it was forged by pure evil.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right? Like, it looks like the body of it was found in like a volcano or like in the ground or like, you know, it was pulled out of stone. Right? Like it's some kind of thing. And then they decided to stick a skull on top of it. Now, Leigh does not have the spine on the clip.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No. This one, the skull is turned around facing forward, if you will. So the clip comes out from under the top of the jawline.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So there must be some kind of difference in that. You know, maybe they have different versions of it. Some are more expensive. Some are cheaper. Because the ones that are in this post on the Nakaya page, that looks like gold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Leigh is not that color either. It's more of like a pewter, as you said. So there's some differences to here.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's always difficult for me and you to work this stuff out because a lot of the pages are translated. And it can be a bit difficult to navigate. But when I first looked at this, I didn't like it. But the more I look at it, I think it's totally badass.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is. It really is. I don't know. I'm fascinated by it. I have like this huge grin on my face looking at this thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The more and more I look at it, the more and more I want it. Which is pretty much how I feel about all Nakayas. And I just want one so bad. But I haven't done it yet. 2016. I will buy one. Okay. Cool. But this thing is freaking awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. So I wanted to throw that out there because I just love that stinking pen. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've forgotten the name of the one that I want, but I know what it is. It's the orange one with the black crack in it.
