	10-foot pole. Yeah, I think the result of this still is don't. Right. Because, like, notice Chris says, we're not reshaping this into a needle point, right? I think you're going to have a bad time. If you're starting to go outside and narrow that nib down, I'm talking with my hands very much. You're going outside, narrowing it down. This, what Chris is saying, we're going underneath. So, we're not necessarily changing that splay of the tines as much as we're just now getting a finer point on the page from the tipping itself.		10-foot pole.

	Interesting. I like it. I wouldn't do it, but I like it. Yeah. If you would like to send in any feedback, follow-up, or questions for a future episode of the show, it's very easy to do that. Just go to penaddictfeedback.com and you can send those in. I would like to thank Plotter and ~~Penn~~ Chalet for their support of this episode. Next week, I'm going to be replaced by the one true host, Anna Reiner, and you're going to be doing the annual gift guide episode. Yep.

And I think we're going to, just to give everyone a little preview, we got great feedback on last year's small business focus, and I think we're going to keep that up this year. And I think that's just a great way to go through this process. It's like, you know, we can all tell you to buy, you know, Twisbees and Lammies and Retro 51s.

	This store must be, like, in, you know, like a popular, like, shopping district. Like, this is, like, would be like a flagship type of store for Marks. So, they get the nice exclusives. Anyway, no point to this other than, yes, Pilot literally owns this shop where this really cool vanishing point is dropping. So, that was all I wanted to bring up. So, I'm interested to see, it circles back to the DC conversation. I'm interested to see what Pilot does with this brand because so far it's been nothing.

	And they've owned it for two years now. Right. And I don't know, maybe it's just more of a Japan slash Asia market thing. And maybe it's not going to come to, like, Pilot North America or Pilot Europe. I'd be surprised if Pilot North America was testing the paper products publicly at DC and it wasn't in the pipeline for, like, 2026. So, we'll see what happens there. But it's just more of a refresher to me. It's like, oh, yes, Pilot literally owns this retailer now. And a ~~stationary~~ maker. So, interesting stuff.		And they've owned it for two years now. Right.

So, like. As one word with the apostrophe. Mark Style. Yeah. I guess it's the best way to say it. It's like a word mark. A tile that belongs to Mark. Mm-hmm. But that's not what they mean. That's great. I'm not like, you know, it's like whatever. Like. Oh, no. This is like one of these many names that you see, like, of Japanese retail stores where they're using English in a way to be, like, in a cool way.		Is Mark Style one word? It's, what do you call it?
