What have we got, Brad?

'''Brad:''' We have the Monteverde Giant Sequoia fountain pen at a really, really nice price. This is one of the neater Monteverdes. We reviewed the Invicta today on the Pen Addict blog. Jeff just did his review. The Invicta is a pen that he really enjoys. This is an acrylic model pen where the Invicta is a metal barrel pen, and it's got some really neat striated acrylic materials. And for that price, like, it's a really, really exceptional price for a pen that I know a lot of people enjoy. They also have a couple of Pelican Special Editions. The 200 Golden Barrel, which was last year's pen or ink of the year, and then before that, the Moonstone. They also have the M205 Moonstone at really exceptionally marked down prices. So those are always good deals.

'''Myke:''' The Special Edition one that you mentioned is cool because it's a clear demonstrator, too.

'''Brad:''' Yep. Yep. Which is, and that's actually, I like Pelican's clear demonstrators because they have made those for decades and decades, but they don't always have them available, right? So it's actually a very modern type of pen, but it's really a throwback to, like, some vintage designs that they've had back in the day. So really cool. Y'all go check those out. There's some great stuff on Pen Chalet, as always.

'''Myke:''' That's P-E-N-C-H-A-L-E-T dot com. Click the podcast link at the top of the website and enter the password Pen Addict. Our thanks to Pen Chalet for the support of this show and Relay FM.

'''Brad:''' Do you think Pen Chalet is ever going to stock chicken ink? Chicken ink. Chicken ink.

'''Myke:''' What is this? Do I want to know?

'''Brad:''' Do you? I think you do want to know, Myke, because chicken ink is coming to a pen near you, Myke. Our friends at Wearing Ool, even though we've probably never mentioned them on the podcast, I'll say that they're friends, friends of the show Wearing Ool. They're an ink maker out of Korea, I believe. And they are doing April Fool's right, Myke. They're making a silly product that's going to be real and launching it on April Fool's because they just want to have fun. So they are literally making an ink to match a traditional fried chicken and a spicy or a seasoned fried chicken. So there's like a golden brown caramel-y colored ink, and it's paired with kind of like your sriracha red ink.

'''Myke:''' Very interesting to me that you decided to describe it as caramel.

'''Myke:''' Why? You could have just said it looks like fried chicken.

'''Brad:''' It's golden. I don't know. It's that color. Well, because you don't look at ink colors, Myke, and go, boy, that one looks like ahi tuna.

'''Myke:''' Well, you do if they say this is the tuna ink.

'''Brad:''' Although we did have a salmon pen just recently, so I rescind that remark. Yeah, we do get a lot of inks based on foods and colors and tastes and smells. But chicken? Chicken, that's a new one on me. And I got to say I'm here for it.

'''Myke:''' Well, I mean, it works because we're talking about it, right? Yeah. I do appreciate the conviction, though, of we're going to do a funny thing and make it. My only criticism is it's March 23rd. Yeah. Why am I hearing about it now?

'''Brad:''' Well, because they're just saying, like, it's for real, and we're just going to do something a little silly. But they're doing it as kind of like a pre-order, not like a pre-order, but like a launch notification. I know what you're saying.

'''Myke:''' If this is an April Fool's Day thing, just do it on April Fool's Day. Like, do it on April 1st, you know? Right. I don't know.

'''Brad:''' Yeah. So, scheduled to be released on March 30th. I do appreciate, like, the drumstick art, right? Oh, it's beautiful. Of how the ink looks. Like, you're never going to look at these and go, boy, that one looks like, you know, Nashville hot chicken or something. But you're always going to have chicken inks. Like, who doesn't want chicken inks, Myke? Uh-huh. I think we all want chicken inks.

'''Myke:''' Now, I'm particularly interested in the next link in the show notes because I looked at the words that you had written around it, and you seemed very excited. And I opened the link and thought, is this what Brad wanted to put in the show?
