That note is hilarious

jaykellett.bsky.social•350 days ago

That is the kind of crazy I can support.

Equal parts adorable and unsettling. Honestly unsure how I’d have responded if I’d been him. (Actually, I just realized that’s old man me talking. At your age, I’d have been all in.)

raxkingisdead.bsky.social•14 days ago

i call shenanigans on the age part, extensive personal research indicates that men of all ages love how adorable and unsettling i am

lpsteve.bsky.social•14 days ago

Okay, you got me there.

these pens were like AOL discs in Baltimore, he cared about you, not the pen

more women should do this tbh 😔

It was years later that I realized that girl in high school who would steal and wear my jacket was flirting.

dogsandsobriety.bsky.social•350 days ago

Goddammit. GODDAMMIT. I thought they were just borrowing our hats in junior high school because it was a thing they were all doing for some reason.

raxkingisdead.bsky.social•350 days ago

girls steal your shit to flirt with you 90% of the time and because they’re insane little magpies 10% of the time

loyaltyfucklove.bsky.social•349 days ago

scrubleague.bsky.social•350 days ago

Women are so incredible

raxkingisdead.bsky.social•350 days ago

respecting women (for being more insane than any man ever could)

scrubleague.bsky.social•350 days ago

It would never have occurred to us to eat from that tree because we're weak and lack imagination

rorykelly.bsky.social•350 days ago

I bet your relationship didn't stay stationery very long.

My previous partner when we were dating held my zippo to ransom. I got out of work early att 4am and went straight round there for weird sex and spaghetti bolognese. She kept that lighter for many years.

adubiouspronoun.bsky.social•350 days ago

10/10 would date

chrislavigna.bsky.social•350 days ago

Holy crap I used to have one of these pens too

godeep.bsky.social•350 days ago

That is totally adorable. I love it!

curses.zone•349 days ago

everyone one who has ever lived here should have 1-15 of these pens

amyhoy.bsky.social•349 days ago

lmao my now-husband definitely kidnapped my sunglasses, which i accidentally left in his hotel room (there with a bunch of folks- it was at a conference) and taunted me with it til i visited him in vienna

nickfortunato.bsky.social•350 days ago

That's twisted I like it.

barrycrain.bsky.social•350 days ago

did he ever recover

noimalright.and.cat•14 days ago

awww I remember her

bigmood.bsky.social•350 days ago

i did this once when i borrowed my partners sewing machine lol

breakdancingrobot.bsky.social•350 days ago

I swear you can find those BBBB pens in every corner of the state of Maryland and always in the most random places. There’s no deeper connotation to having possession of one, they just move freely about of their own volition.

trevorcavanagh.bsky.social•350 days ago

did you end up dating him

raxkingisdead.bsky.social•350 days ago

for like 3 months lol

ijspurcell.bsky.social•350 days ago

how’s the pen doing

raxkingisdead.bsky.social•350 days ago

it’s back with its daddy now

sekou.bsky.social•350 days ago

😈😂

fennit.bsky.social•350 days ago

This is adorable but I'm now hung up on trying to guess why this guy had a pen from "Big Boyz Bail Bonds". The more I think about it the further the mystery grows.

multiphasic.bsky.social•350 days ago

Big Boyz notoriously seeds Baltimore with these pens in all kinds of insane early '90s color schemes, so that like 70% of the time you'll be signing for a restaurant check with with a bail bonds pen.
