How to Penable Like a Champ! | Goulet Pencast Ep. 23

[@allenl391]

If Drew doesn’t wear a different shirt each week how will I ever know at a quick glance whether or not it’s a new pen cast that I need to watch? Happy Hammock Day!

[@alber7lew1s19]

Where does Drew get his shirts from?

[@alanshutko]

While the stork brings in baby humans, baby pens are flown in by Pelikan.

[@kat_koe]

Perfect!

[@historydoc6605]

Absolutely

[@picolascage7762]

Made me imagine a pelikan squwaking on my windowsill, perched on a basket full of pocket pens like Platinum 200, Pilot e95, Pilot Petit, etc. Hilarious 😂

[@N1inSK]

Do owners of Pelikan pens keep their pens in Pelican cases ? Also, an edit: the Code Word is Turkey whatever. I'm commenting from December 202, and turkeys are hard to find a SUPER expensive if you do. One of my sons has a big living room, so we're going there this Christmas, and we're taking beef for the pot luck Christmas brunch. Last Christmas, we had salmon for Christmas dinner!

[@lukewilsonhere]

*_Never stop making your faces, Brian!_* I just had to do it when you were giving Drew such a hard time about his face in the last episode, and I knew it wasn't so, at least THIS TIME! 😂 Thanks for including me in the feedback, you guys bantering back and forth cracks me up every week!

[@Gouletpens]

Thank you so much! I linked to your video in the description - let me know if that's not ok and I'll be happy to pull it down. - Drew

[@lukewilsonhere]

@@Gouletpens Absolutely not, it's all good and all in good fun! I even made sure not to use copyrighted free music in the background so you wouldn't get demonetized on the off chance that you used it.

[@theresa_lili]

I was watching Drew while Brian spoke and I can attest that he makes interesting facial expressions as well. Ha!!

[@theresa_lili]

Mr. Wilson great video. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@deniseplasse5126]

OMG TURKEY HAMMOCK!!! That’s a perfect bunch of nonsense! Thanks again

[@ReformedPiper]

Hey guys, FYI, Anduin is a river in the LotR universe. Keep it up guys! So entertaining!

[@theresa_lili]

LOL

[@nordlyselsker]

And it is the river in which The Ring was lost for hundreds of years.

[@vivaenmiriana]

@@nordlyselsker that river was the real lord of the ring. had control of it for centuries.

[@mf--]

It's the one with the two giant statues.

[@nordlyselsker]

@@vivaenmiriana And yet it couldn't stop the hobbits from getting their hands on it.

[@pugup]

I'm seeing some comments here already explain Anduin. Can't believe my transcribing LOTR (thanks for the shout-out few episodes back, Brian) is coming in handy to correct the very podcast where I got a shout-out. So there are many many rivers in middle earth but Anduin is referred to as The Great River, it's extremely strategic in terms of territorial control of area around Gondor. It's mentioned perhaps more than any other geographical feature of middle earth (at least in my reading so far) and is also the river in which Isildur (who cut Sauron's finger) lost the one ring in. Saruman spent many years searching Anduin thinking that the one ring was still in or around it when Gollum, and later Bilbo, had already found it.

[@aaron3890]

I've seriously been refreshing your channel on my browser incessantly since I got up this morning in anticipation of the Goulet Pencast! Great job as always, guys!

[@Gouletpens]

We ran into some delays this morning! Thanks for being there for us! - Drew

[@edreilly6674]

I have come to think that Drew is a kindly genius who is humoring us. I had fallen from my turkey-hammock and was unable to get up to turn off the podcast, but I wouldn't even if I could have. Thank you for another very enjoyable couple of hours!

[@Gouletpens]

Brilliant! - Drew

[@She-wolf3636]

I'm talking Japanese in university, and let me tell you, EF and F nibs are needed when trying to write kanji at a reasonable size. Especially, if it has a higher stroke count.

[@kapirk2244]

Turkey Hammock!! Watching since I am laid up with a broken ankle. I usually listen while I drive, clean, garden, write, etc. but watching you two for hours is so much more fun, plus I get to see pens that I don’t see on the audio version. Laughter is the best medicine for the soul.

[@cherylthomae-barnes7852]

Proud to be a turkey hammock watcher! So, a Goulet exclusive pen...The 🐞 Ladybug. lol. After watching today's Pencast I have hope that Drew will at least move up to 4 inked pens at a time. Love the color of Ellie's room, great job Brian 👍

[@N1inSK]

This must be where Turkey Hammock came from!

[@heathergleiser]

This got uploaded while I’m at work so I can’t stop laughing at my phone with my earbuds in. Best stress relief there is!

[@Gouletpens]

Haha! That's delightful to hear! Thanks so much for joining us, Heather! - Drew

[@ginathomas8039]

Drew's tears are the tears of someone who has to deal with someone who has many lack of systems in their life... Y'all made me outright cackle in this pencast. Thanks for making my Friday awesome, as always. ^_^

[@Gouletpens]

OMG I couldn't breathe. - Drew

[@KatelynSweigart]

I am only 8 minutes in, but I need to commwnt. Brian was in show choir?! I think we need a demonstration of his vocal talents.

[@Gouletpens]

Almost 8 years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ6VnIZ_abqhis0

[@KatelynSweigart]

I think we need a song about turkey hammocks as well.

[@tshaa]

One of my friends really wants a fountain pen so for christmas i am getting them a twsbi eco (since its easy to clean, looks cool, also doesn't have the hassle of converter/cartridge/refilling a cartridge/etc) but I was iffy on if I should get them a single bottle of ink but thats a commitment so then I thought, the best part to me are the various fun inks which can be hits or misses depending on various factors, so I've decided to play safe and reuse the goulet sample containers to make my own little samples using my favorite inks!

[@hollybasiuk2824]

that’s such a thoughtful thing to do! Hand picked favorites!!

[@stevecopeland9261]

Quick question for you. Rumors are floating around (or will be soon) about a new ink from Noodler’s named Turkey Hammock. As with many of Nate’s products, there’s a back story and wonderful illustrations. TH (as it’s become known) refers to the practice by Civil War soldiers attaching their overcoats to a tree to form a type of sling, so they could sleep above ground level. The result was effective, but tended to look like large round fuzzy blobs hanging from tree branches. General Custer is credited with naming them Turkey Hammocks (it was not a compliment). Just wondering if you’ll have this in time for the holidays? To be honest, it’s not a pleasant color to look at and tends to evoke a response of “What IS that???” (much, like it’s namesake), but I find the history irresistible.

[@Gouletpens]

And there you go. This wins the comments. The rest of you can go home now. LOL - Drew

[@hedge5322]

I love sitting in my turkey hammock and playing with my pens while listening to y’all. One of my favorite parts of a Friday afternoon

[@Gouletpens]

Poetry! Haha! - Drew

[@tomvanzanten479]

I was late to discover the Goulet Pen cast, and have been eagerly catching up on them for the past month. It's probably time to clean my pens again along side the turkey hammock ;) Thanks for the entertainment guys!

[@Gouletpens]

LOL Thanks for that, Tom! We're glad you found us! - Drew

[@xxflipchick22xx]

Yay, I finally found the Turkey Hammock episode! I’m watching the Pencasts backwards. Started watching the newest episode and wanted more, so I’ve been going backwards. Thanks for entertaining me while I’m recovering from oral surgery.

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks for watching! - Drew

[@yorkdox7]

I’m watching them backwards too!

[@sarahwelsh8157]

Bought the jinhao shark pens for my 9 year old cousin a few weeks ago and I swear the SMOOTHNESS bowled me over 😂 was a serious contender for my gold nib!! Plus her face actually lit up when she realised the cap was a shark. So fun 🦈

[@yesimthatlisa]

Drew - I think this is the best shirt EVER!! It is a celebration of color! Excellent episode as always!

[@Gouletpens]

One of my favorites! - Drew

[@CarolLoughrey]

This has nothing to do with this Pencast, but ever since Drew did the segment on brown pens, I want a brown pen and ink. Thanks Drew!

[@EastWind123]

There's nothing more relaxing than curling up in my turkey hammock while I watch the pencast. Another great one, guys!

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks for sticking with us! - Drew

[@LucyLu_meztli]

I’ve heard that to see or have a ladybug nearby is good luck 🐞 But oh man, the Goulets must have all the luck in the world!!! 🐞🐞🐞😅

[@linds5705]

Turkey hammock.. finally I know where this comes from. I‘ve gone back and listened to almost all of the pencasts now. Thanks you two for doing these! I really enjoy them!

[@tiantuatara]

The Stargazer was my first gold nib. It's a wonderful pen (as is the E95S). I loved Drew's Cthulhu recipe. Turkey hammock.

[@ericoctaviocampos1589]

Potential Question for a future Pencast: Are the feed ink channels the same or different widths as they come out of the factory across the spectrum from EF to stub nibs? I'm wondering whether the nib tip width (EF to stub) is the only factor in how thick a line a pen will put down, or whether the feed contributes through optimized channel widths, as it might have implications if you are swapping nibs to different tip widths while keeping the same feed.

[@zoffmode]

Can confirm Pilot E95S cap has quite a nice touch to it. It was my second fountain pen a year ago and I'm still in love with it!

[@Gouletpens]

Right!? - Drew

[@GinnyLantern]

I bought the E95S this year after seeing a video of Brian’s (it was the start of spending more on fountain pens - this year has been expensive 😳😉) and I absolutely love it; the colour, the feel (yes Drew it’s really smooth), just looking at it because it’s so elegant, I just wish I’d bought a fine instead of medium. Thanks for a great Pencast guys. 🤪👏 Turkey Hammocks, really, now I have visions in my head!! 🦃🐞🙈

[@sydneytomlinson]

I’ve been wanting a medium. Why do you wish you went with a fine? Is the medium too big?

[@GinnyLantern]

@@sydneytomlinson I prefer fine nibs in general but I didn’t want something scratchy and when Brian said Japanese mediums lean more toward fine, I thought it would be ok - it is a beautifully smooth writer even so and I still love it.

[@juliom9059]

Whenever I watch these videos I’m just chilling on my hammock with my pet turkey! Great videos by the way and thank you for being part of my weekly routine!

[@Gouletpens]

There you go! haha thank you! - Drew

[@Munkynuts]

You guys have created a wonderful place to escape from real life for an hour or two. Thank you.

[@Munkynuts]

#BrainGoblet

[@Munkynuts]

I’m actually a graduate pearl expert so those new regattas really get my crank turned. 🤤

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks so much for joining us, Jason! - Drew

[@KnightJRL]

Drew, you are so totally right about the E95s cap. It definitely has a different feel to it. Kind of reminds me of my old turkey hammock.

[@daviddelburgo2851]

super fun content, I love that you guys put this out right as i need a chillout after work! RE LEFTIES: right handers don't always consider that it's not just about the dry times: i push my hand across ink so the ink i use has to not dry-smudge easily. Would love to see some content/tracking on that (examples: anything Diamine is beautiful but ends up on my palm even if dry, mild sheen is pretty unusable for me, and Nitrogen is a calamity worn as much on my person as it is on the page; counter examples: almost all Herbin main line inks stay on the page, same for R&K, same for Birmingham) --> I realize adding a leftie palm smudge test for all inks retroactively might be a herculean ask but if you could have a leftie (with maybe sweaty palms?) write a paragraph and check for smudge on the main sellers and newly added inks, that'd be super useful (my own smudge samples available upon request!!)

[@Taipou]

I'm a lefty too and I love Diamine Syrah, which looks beautiful, while still professional and doesn't smudge. I just noticed the writing hand emoji comes in many skin colors on Android, but there's no lefty variant. Booooh! ✍️

[@AmandaWspoon]

My best friend since Jr. High is a lefty and her hand was always covered in graphite and smudggy penciled notes she passed, I don't envy you lefty fountain pen fans.

[@lukaszpokoju]

About Drew's comment about the Pilot Elite's (E95s) cap I'd second that it has unique feel to it. the material they used always foxed me. It doesn't feel like plastic, it doesn't feel like metal either. I feels colder than the rest of the plastic body (burgundy part). It looks like it's made out of thin brass or stiff plastic, painted with a white-silvery colored paint and jacketed with some transparent lacquer. It's really neat. It doesn't catch finger prints neither scratches. Really a sleek pen for the price. PS: you can take apart the Pilot Elite/Silvern . It's just a painstaking process especially the first time. you can't remove the nib by pulling it like on a Lamy pen. The nib's heel is glue to the body so you have to loosen the glue first. The metal part makes the connection between the feed and converter is also tightly screwed in the section. Unless the pen isn't working *I wouldn't recommand* taking it apart. If you want to make a good cleaning, just use a pen flush.

[@duschkonig2561]

We don‘t really celebrate Thanksgiving in Germany. But I am glad that we share your love for turkey hammocks!

[@tootsfour956]

Drew I recently bought the the E95s in fine from Gulet. I LOVE IT. It is amazing !!! And yes the lid is so smooth. I have 67 pens and this one is the best of the bunch. I had surgery on my writing hand and this pen is very helpful for it slides over the paper. I think it soon may be writing what I am thinking! :)) blessings

[@wendywander7]

I just recently finished a reread of Tom Clancy's classic The Hunt for Red October, so of course I had to watch the film again as well. Great story. I'm a week behind, but I think Turkey Hammock would be a great practice writing phrase!

[@blsherrell1]

Did you guys know that they sell turkey hammocks over on Amazon?? Apparently it can hold a turkey up to 30 lbs.

[@bitandas3523]

Those are fighting words!! The Metro is rightfully steadfast in its seat as the King of Gateway pens😤😤. That said, lovely episode. Cracking up in every now and then. It’s like sitting down with friends and having a good time😊😊😊😊. I’m late to the party and have been trying to catch up on Pencast as fast as I can, despite a very busy schedule. Seriously guys, Thank you and Write On!

[@theresa_lili]

Drew's shirt reminds me of the old Batman and Robin show with the 'POW' 'BANG'!!

[@Gouletpens]

Nice! - Drew

[@nancyagudelo4625]

Turkey Hammock!!!! As always very enjoyable to watch you two banter and listen to the information you give, serious or not.

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks for sticking with us 'til the bitter end, Nancy! - Drew

[@C_L_Thomas]

I bought one of the Monteverde Regatta white mother-of-pearl with rose gold pens as soon as I saw it on your website. A gift for my wife to celebrate her new job. It is absolutely gorgeous and she loves it!

[@unkemptplatypus1607]

YAY I can join the pen of the week! I got my Studio Lx Black, which I've been using every day since I got it. I don't find it slippery at all, despite occasionally having sweaty hands. Thank you Brian for the expressionless stare, almost spat out my coffee. Got myself some prime snort-laughing this Saturday morning, so thank you both as always for that. I am for some reason also imagining a tiny turkey hammock in a Mighty Max setting.

[@michaelmedlinger6399]

A Terra Cotta Studio that I received for my birthday a year and a half ago is what started me down the rabbit hole; now I have four of them (2 gold, 2 steel nibs). I will get them out immediately and join you for the week (although I won‘t be able to watch the pencast until the beginning of the following week).

[@raggsj38]

Lounging in the turkey hammock while listening to you guys and salivating over all of the Raden pens!

[@Gouletpens]

Sounds like the life! Thanks for watching! - Drew

[@e.migliore497]

This new ink may make Drew’s next top brown inks list. It's a follow up to Black Swan in Australian Roses called Brown Turkey in American Hammock, a beautiful golden-brown ink. Use a broad nib to see the dark brown turkey in the hammock! Long dry time; cranberry sauce resistant.

[@Gouletpens]

Beaitiful! LOL thanks for watching! - Drew

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

[@an-magritt2887]

Have enjoyed all 23 episodes with the two of you; you're a fun-filled conversation to listen in on, thank you. Maybe a turkey-hammock pen case would be something that your viewers would... gobble up? Sorry, sorry. Oh, and Anduin is a river in LOTR, the one the Fellowship follows after leaving Lothlorien. I'll stop geeking now. Have a wonderful week!

[@Gouletpens]

Thank you so much! For all of this! - Drew

[@Gouletpens]

Thank You for sticking with us, Karina! - Drew

[@mjones4220]

I would love a set of greeting cards specifically fall and winter styles as well as birthday styles.

[@tomijeanhamilton7499]

I loved the turkey hammock reference. Seeing a hammocked turkey, made me smile. Keep it up!

[@Gouletpens]

For sure! LOL thank you! - Drew

[@Laleolie]

I'm having weird visions of an annual turkey zombie apocalypse, where they eat the whole population of Singapore over and over and then go to sleep in their hammocks.

[@haruyoshida9936]

My answer for question: 4, would be the Pilot-M90.

[@kplus2124]

I'm looking at getting the E95S it will be my first gold nib pen. Can't chose between the F or EF nib. Wonder what nib Drew got. It's such a beautiful pen. With the E95S being a gold nib pen does it tend to be wetter nib so going for EF is better for everyday pen?

[@gadgetstop321]

I've noticed that the fine nib on my E95s is wetter than all my other fine nibbed pens, and others have confirmed that they've had the same experience.

[@deniseplasse5126]

Oh Brian!!!! You ARE hilarious. I dont think I have laughed so hard EVER!!! This is great.

[@jolynsorensen8312]

Happy thanksgiving gimlet pen family I hope you enjoy your turkey hammock this year! 🦃

[@litost6564]

I'm going back to watch all the pencasts I missed, but on the topic of greeting cards I found that the boxed Christmas I bought at the Dollar Tree (so like 8-12 cards for a dollar) worked really really well with fountain pens. No feathering, no insane dry times, showed shading and sheen really well. Legit if I knew where they were sourcing their card stock I'd try to buy a blank stack of it.

[@anneinauckland2318]

I was too late discovering the wonderful world of fountain pens to get the Pelikan M205 Amethyst and the Copper Orange Lamy Al-Star. Gutted I missed out on those wonderful colours although I do have other M205s and Al-Stars. I would also be so keen for a Pilot Stargazer if they did bring those back!

[@GospelOfJoseph]

Turkey hammock is a new go to curse word/phrase substitution! 😂🦃

[@Gouletpens]

Yes! I love it! LOL thanks for watching, Joseph! - Drew

[@Jeanine_HuffpuffJ9]

Turkey Hammock!🦃 always stick around for the silly random, love you guys, keep em coming!

[@ihanat]

I must say, Drew. Intentionally wearing a different shirt for every episode is next level commitment! I also agree that the E95s feels amazing and quite unlike any other pen I own. It is also my first gold nib and I am quite pleased with my purchase. As for a pen I missed out on, that would be a limited edition TWSBI eco in a pink that I didn’t take note of the name for and I didn’t know much about FP at the time so I didn’t pick up on that detail before it sold out everywhere. When you guys said random questions I really did not expect that level of random! Woah! And, Brian, I’ll take lady bugs over stink bugs any day!!! I had a tree right outside my window that collected stink bugs when I was in high school. It was horrible! Especially because if you happen to squish one they release their stench on you and it burns you!! It was horrible. I dreamt of killing that tree for years but never did.

[@ihanat]

Also, turkey hammock cuz why not

[@Gouletpens]

Thank you! I finally ran out after 23 episodes or so! Haha! Time to buy more, I guess! - Drew

[@ellaniwalker6155]

I bought a Lamy with a left hand nib. She loves it. She could not write with a regular pen. But absolutely loved the Lamy Safari with the left hand nib. And bought her 3 boxes of Lamy cartridges because she doesn’t like doing ink out of the bottle. 🖋🖋🖋

[@stacipaley1001]

Your videos are part of my weekend routine, while cleaning my pens. Keep up the good work! Turkey Hammock for Turkey day!

[@Gouletpens]

Turkey Hammock! Yay! - Drew

[@mariesavoie6096]

I'm listening to the old pencasts and I believe I need to mention that turkeys like to nap in hammock in Singapore !

[@susanorban3059]

Holiday sweaters!! YES!!

[@keefensera2004]

We are loving the Pencasts and look forward to them every week, waiting for them to drop onto KZbin early friday evening UK time. Got back into fountain pens a few years ago and this addiction is now shared by my wife and we now have quite the collection. Trying to keep to the Drew method of having only a few pens inked up at a time, but go full Brian at this time of year as both our birthdays are close to Christmas and there will be several new pens each that just need to be immediately tested. Not entirely sure on our facts being from the UK, but isn't it a thing that the President pardons a Turkey at Thanksgiving? Picturing this Turkey living a life of luxury, relaxing in its Turkey Hammock. The Turkey Hot Tub just sounds so wrong though.

[@Gouletpens]

Lol first of all, thanks for watching all the way, Keith! And yeah, the whole pardoning of the Turkey thing is legit. It's silly. - Drew

[@TheMitchPoe]

My wife and I got a set of turkey hammocks years ago as a gift. We really want to set them up, but we don’t have trees close enough together.

[@MustafaHirji]

I normally wouldn't comment, but I had to stop by after Turkey Hammock. And since I'm here, a Q&A suggestion: how to pick inks that will perform well on cheap office paper. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks for stopping by! I actually recently tested a couple of inks on cheap paper and found that plain old LAMY black did pretty well! - Drew

[@tattooedcat]

A turkey hammock has interesting connotations, such as the place outside where the turkey relaxes or maybe the turkey version of a Speedo. Either way it was a hilarious episode as always. Thanks for sharing!

[@Gouletpens]

LOL I LOVE THOS SO MUCH!!! - Thanks so much for watching! - Drew

[@aldoliclican1921]

It was unseasonably warm in SF today… I wore my turkey-hammock to the beach and worked on my tan. Brain & Droop, great show today. Ciao for now fellas!

[@Gouletpens]

Poetry! - Drew

[@agwood123]

My first time listening and I appreciate that you discussed the TurkeyHammock

[@Gouletpens]

Thanks for listening, Aaron! - Drew

[@Sonicman415]

Drew’s shirt 🥳😂🥳 I stand by Brian’s standing by a lack of systems 😎 I missed the Edison Aria 😯… a perfect size for me, and Edison nibs are tuned and fabulous. So, Sea Glass.. The Stargazer looks way cool.

[@heathergleiser]

Turkey hammock! The second Drew mentioned a hockey themed pen I had to look it up and having been a huge fan of the sport for the last handful of years, I’m sad I didn’t know it existed when it was still available! The goalie mask on the finial is a perfect accent.

[@SusannahConway]

"Brain Goblet" -- actual laughter tears for that one, brilliant! 🤣 My turkey usually sleeps in the hen house, but recently made it clear we need more garden furniture

[@Gouletpens]

Well said! lol thanks for watching! - Drew

[@lalaith4375]

Turkey Hammock ... love to watch your pencast :)

[@hollishan]

I'm looking forward to hearing how your week goes with the Lamy Studio. My very first fountain pen was a Lamy Studio, delivered in a Turkey Hammock.

[@Gouletpens]

Beautifully worded, Holli! Thank you! - Drew

[@andream3568]

I get to make my very own turkey hammock this year. happy to get to share it this year with family.

[@Gouletpens]

The beginning of a tradition! LOL - Drew

[@crueltyfreemusings1696]

Turkey hammock I have this on in the background as I'm getting ready for bed, so honestly not paying that much attention... but I always listen to the very end.

[@robinmosenfelder6226]

I approve of Brian's hair today. looks great! :-)

[@ThePdids]

"You heard me buck-o" I believe is from the 70's tv show, Happy Days. In some contour of my mind, I think I retained this. Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) character I think used "buck-o'" from time to time. FYI to Brian, your parents might be able to confirm.

[@andyh6703]

Turkey hammock! The pen I’ve always regretted not getting was the Goulet exclusive Visconti Opera Master Luna…that thing was gorgeous. I keep an eye out for them at pen shows and do an occasional eBay search, but apparently everyone that got one really likes it…haven’t seen one out in the wild yet.

[@bestthingeverbyjenn]

Thanks for the video! Have you seen the Turkey Hammock ink color? What are your thoughts? I'm watching this while making greeting cards & writing the notes with my fountain pens. Thanks for keeping me company while I crafted!

[@Gouletpens]

LOL Thank you, Jenn! - Drew

[@kevinlandon7578]

Great episode as always! Greeting cards are hit or miss but blank cards would be a great option. Are you aware that maiora is coming out with their own ink line next year? Yay to Drew and Brian for putting the Pilot Custom 823 back on my radar. Ordered it from GPC and it is better than advertised. Of course, I chose the Brown endorsed model. Turkey Hammock supplies may be limited this holiday season so order early and often so not to be disappointed and the laughingstock around the table! Write On!

[@auntiepenfriend1464]

Dreaming of Raden hanging out in my 🦃 Hammock. Love that new Taccia. It would sit on my desk full time as eye candy.

[@Gouletpens]

LOL nice use of emojis there! Thanks for watching! - Drew

[@pamelamoniz608]

You both looked great with the blue theme this week. Question for Drew- what size nib is your Pilot E95s?

[@s.n.11]

When you started talking about the sets I was hoping you to mention the shimmering set of J Herbin inks🤩, … I hope it gets before the Holidays because it is on top of my presents’ list.☺️ For the pen I wish I’d bought, actually I have two: the Lamy Safari Petrol and the Lamy Safari Dark purple. They are far too much expensive now in the second hand market… By the way, as online fountain pen retailers, what do you think about people buying limited edition pens for the only purpose of reselling them for more money and making benefit of it? (I mean, they don’t even put them off the box and try them, they just wait for the stocks of official retailers to finish and then offer the pen at a higher price, is that even legal?). Are they hurting the industry in your opinion? Or do they contribute to it somehow?

[@vivianamp2003]

About Q4, Lamy Dark Lilac came out before I was in the hobby and it makes me so sad because purple is my fav color and I would’ve totally bought the pen and the ink. I still hope they’ll offer it again in the future ☹️

[@lesleymcln]

Same!

[@Heidejournal]

I just baught a 2nd E95S with a medium nib in addition to the one I already own with EF nib. It´s such a great little pen. I would agree that the cap is a very thin metal with some layers of lacquer on it. :)

[@pat999x]

I will not have a turkey hammock until I have one for myself. The turkey can just stand up. My pen regret is about my very first fortune pen - a Parker 45. I suspect that it was a pen aimed at children, since I was just in fourth grade. Nice looking pen, though.

[@Gouletpens]

Yay! - Drew

[@ArjanD78]

The pen I wish I bought: Conid King-size bulk filler flat tops. Still hoping they'll restart production

[@albertlecuyer6761]

Turkey Hammock. Please do Pelican M200s for your pen of the week. My first fountain pen was an amber M200 demonstrator back in the 80s. It has proven to be a very deep rabbit hole.

[@MrChan9000]

You know for my last two Thanksgivings I have used a turkey hammock to roast my Butterball. It provides support and comfort, but offers a sense of freedom. The airflow is fantastic...

[@cswelsh]

Ankther proud turky hammock watcher from Japan. Keep the coffee flowing Drew.

[@Gouletpens]

Yay! - Drew

[@narikocooper]

I love my E95S, light weight and is a push cap. Already took the turkey hammock down (since Thanksgiving up here was last month)

[@CraigRoccanova]

They say that in Singapore and the South Pacific, they use scales with nets to weigh their fowl and those scales are called "Turkey Hammocks"

[@Gouletpens]

I have indeed heard that legend! - Drew

I usually watch these pencasts in pieces and it takes me a day or two to get through because...well... kids... lol but I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Brian's emotionless staring, "lack of systems" and sidetrack to Sean Connery (r.i.p) being a handsome man also had me crying laughing and I agree with Drew about the pen cap for the E95s! So smooth and satiny and such a beautiful companion for my turkey hammock. On a side note- I look forward to the festive sweaters! (When the weather is appropriate) we don't want you melting Drew, especially after your 2 giant cups of warm beverages. 😂

LOL thanks for watching until the Turkey Hammock showed up, Jaylene! We're trilled to hear that you enjoy the randomness as much as we do! - Drew

Drew! That will not work! You forgot the three drops of Noodler's The Heart of Darkness in the Cthulu summoning brew! Turkey hammocks would not support the weight of Singapore.

Definitely need to include Heart of Darkness! (And no blood from a human sacrifice?)

If I’m remembering correctly “you heard me, Bucko” was from Happy Days! I think Richie Cunningham called people Bucko when he was trying to be tough. I love to watch Happy Days reruns while laying in my turkey hammock.

LOL thank you! - Drew

Code word: Turkey Hammock is my favorite place to visit during Ham Hock Day!!!

Turkey Hammock: I special ordered the rubberized grip for all of my Lamy Studios after getting the all black and experiencing the grip on it. Love the pens but couldn't handle the slick grip for extended writing sessions. I'm guessing that you will have the same experience.

Yay! Thanks for watching, John! - Drew
