'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm very confident now, not just picture angles. Very confident that there's no clip on this pen at all. It is in no picture and they have a lot of pictures. I am... This changes things for me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'll see if you like it. Yeah. When you did it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's also pictures on the One Show website. The box. The box looks very serious too.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The box looks serious.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It does. If you look at their main images, it's like it opens out on itself and becomes its own stand. It's like a very...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, it's like a little... It's like a little lift. Yeah. Like an internal lift system. Dang. You paid a lot for that box.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Me and Nat Pen are going to be best friends, I think. Huh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Interesting. I am more interested than I've ever been in that pen knowing the size issue. Yeah, I think good luck though. Oh, I'm not... I don't need it, but I am way more compelled than I ever was seeing that picture. So. All right. I brought up the poll a second ago because I did a random Twitter poll about the Lamy Safari Pastels, which are starting to hit all of our favorite retailers out there. So I wanted to know, just out of curiosity, what color are people picking if they're interested in the Safari? I, of course, got a lot of none of the above, Kawekos, Lamy Sucks, all those things. So fortunately for me, there's only four options on Twitter polls. So I use them all accordingly. I'm just joking with people. I understand you don't like the Safari and I'm okay with that. But I just wanted to know, are you going to buy the Powder Rose, the Blue Macaron, the Mint Glaze, or all of the above? Do you have a favorite knowing that you're probably not going to buy any of these, I'm assuming, right? Yeah, the Mint one is mine. I kind of think so too. And that's what won the poll. Well, the Mint Glaze came in at 34% with Blue at 30%. So those were very, very close. 24% of the people said all of the above and 12% said Powder Rose. I surprised myself a little bit thinking like Blue's usually like my thing for this. I think the Mint is the one and it looks like the Twitter poll results kind of bore that out, which I thought was interesting. I didn't know how it was going to play out. I didn't think the Rose would be that far behind, but it is. But I thought Blue and Green are the standouts of the two. And if you're not buying all of them, which singular one? Yeah, I kind of think it's the Green. But I haven't picked yet. I haven't ordered anything yet. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Green myself. So there you go. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Maybe I'll do more Twitter polls in the future. But you have to go to the official Twitter applications for that, which I rarely do. They do look good, though. The pens? Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, they look great. They do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't need all of them. This is not a get all three of them, though, for me. It's not that kind of deal, but I will get one of them.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think the Mint is the best one. Yep. I think that the little plastic part on it, too, looks the best.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. They did a good job. They did a very good job. Good job by Lamy this year with the All-Stars. Very Easter-y. Yeah. It was good timing. If they're going to do that, the timing was right on the money. So, yeah. Real good.
