== Twitter Questions ==


'''Philip:''' Right. All right. So I got. Let's. Let's wrap it up. With. A bunch of Twitter questions. I reached out for. Well. I hadn't done this in a while. So I got. Got a few quick hits on Twitter. I'm going to go through.

'''Philip:''' Father Myke Gossett. Who's been a follower. Forever.

'''Philip:''' Really good supporter. He says. Ever have any problems. With a retro 51. Rattling when you write. I love the pen. But the noise and movement. Drives me crazy. The retro 51. Tornado. Roller balls. No. Never. But the snappers. The retractable ones. Always. They rattle. So I don't know. Specifically which. One. You were talking about. Father Myke. But. With the tornado. Roller balls. I don't have any issues. How about you Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No. Not at all.

'''Philip:''' Yeah. Not. The tornado. Roller ball. I think. One of the reasons. Why we. Enjoy it. Not just for the refill. Is it's. It's just dead solid. I mean. It's. It's no sound. No movement. No nothing. So. Something's up. If it's. If it's the roller ball. And not the snapper. Isn't that what the retractable one's called? I think it's called the snapper. Something like that. Horrible name. Do you remember? We do this every time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Whatever. Yeah. I don't. I don't know. Yeah.

'''Philip:''' We'll go with snapper. Just because it sounds stupid. All right. Tim. Who. Who writes the Daily Carry blog. He says. I would like to hear some strategies. Working through. Goulet pens. Ink drops. And recording impressions. Hard to. Hard not to keep switching. He says. Or just ink samples in general. What kind of stuff do you record for the future. When you're looking to buy. An ink you've tried. I've always had. I've had trouble with this. And. I got so many samples. That I was trying to keep up with. And one thing. That I always wanted to do. And never do. Did. Was either get. It was get some kind of dip pen. To do testing. To where you didn't have to ink up a pen. And clean it. Just to try a sample. Of an ink that you may not like. So. My friend Thomas. He sent me a link. He knows. I've talked about this a lot. Just buying a glass. Dip pen. Or something like that. He sent me a link. To something called a Morisset. It's. M-O-R-I-S-S-E-T. Dip nib. They're not easy to find. They're old. But what it is. It's a traditional fountain pen nib. With a glass feed. And it holds the ink really well. And it's like. Perfect for testing. But you kind of got to. There's no real. Place to purchase them. So you just kind of got to stumble them. On eBay. Or. There have been people. Make some. And you need a holder for it too. Right. It's just a nib. With a screw on section. So. But it's. It's worth looking for. Because they're not very expensive. I mean like. We're talking like five dollars. For a nib. And then you got to find something. To hold it in. I haven't bought that yet. But I'm going to. In the near future. And that's how I'm going to do. Some of my ink sampling. Now. And that's just how I get a good feel. I try to use. Try to get them all on the same paper. You know. Keep them all on the same notebook. Or. You know. I use the. Mimasign.

'''Philip:''' What's it called? The word cards. You know. To do all my ink samples. So I can pull them out. And check them out later. Things like that. So. But. I'd get a dip nib. Or. A glass dip pen. Something like that. That you can do. That you can test a lot of inks. Quickly with. And that's something. I'm working on myself.

'''Philip:''' Josh. On Twitter. Says. What makes a good bullet journal. And what pen works good. On the paper. He says. Man. I love this show. Appreciate it. Josh. That's how you get your tweet read.

'''Philip:''' I've always thought. The. The Leuch term. 1917. Was a good bullet journal. If you like grid. Paper. But really anything. I mean. The field notes is good. The word. Notebooks. Is practically. Set up for you already. For bullet journaling. So that may be. Something you look at. Is the word. Notebooks. They. And. They handle inks. Really well. Pretty much. Across the board. Fountain pen. Gel. Roller ball. Ballpoint. So. Take a look at the word. Notebooks. Our friend. Taufer. This is. This is for you Myke. You ready? This is for both of us. If you had to fight. Myke to the death. What pens. Would you both choose. As your weapon. Who would. Who would win. And why.

'''Philip:''' So we're going to. We're going to fight. To the death.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm going to maybe.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm probably going to go. With. Hmm. Hmm.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll definitely take one of yours. Actually I think. Because you have those like. Razor sharp nibs. Yeah. Um. What's yours?

'''Philip:''' I think I'm going to go with the. The. The black matte vanishing point. With the extra fine nib.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh yeah. It's like. Yeah.

'''Philip:''' I mean. It's very slicey. And stabby. I mean. I think. You know. First. I would probably poke your eye out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Philip:''' And then while you're like. Leaning over crying. I'd probably slice your Achilles. Right. Okay. This is good to know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep.

'''Philip:''' Carry on. And then. You know. We would just. You know. Complete the evisceration. From there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' See. Here's the thing though. This is why I'm going to win. Because you're going to go. Like. You know. You're going to do something. You're going to try and blind me or something. I found my new pen for this. The copper. Karas customs bolt. One club. You're down. Down and out. It's the heaviest pen known to man.

'''Philip:''' Yep. I would reach in for the eyeball. And you would just. Bonk me on the head. And I'd be done. That's it. That's a good one.
