different pens for different uses:
 
 for day to day notes to myself and the like, i use a namiki retractible fountain pen, medium nib.
 
 for simple letters and notes, i use either the namiki, or a schaeffer fountain pen, wide nib.
 
 for a slightly fancier touch, i'll break out the mont blanc, wide nib, but not often.  
 
 at work, just about any disposable pen with wet ink will do.  pilot makes some nice ones.  no rollerballs for me.  sharpies are for kicking people out, and making notes throughout the night.
 
 i always use black ink.  can't stand to see my writing in any other color.  for letters and correspondence, i use a gold colored parchment paper and a read wax seal pressed with the image of a dragon.
 
 it's a shame that in this computer era, the art of the letter is being lost.  there are few things that i enjoy more than the scratch of a nib across parchment, carefully writing to avoid wet ink, writing slowly and deliberately so you don't make errors that you can't erase, and melting the wax for the seal.  i love sending letters, and i love getting letters.

i've always liked the waterman ball point. . .i have a mont blanc at home, but i've never used it.  
 
 my handwriting is not conducive for fountain pens.

My favorite pen is the Orioles bullpen, that is if Buddy Groom is warming up to come sweep em with a broom.

I feel *exactly* the same!  :)
 
 As for pens, my favorites are fountain pens (blue, black and purple inks by Pilot Varsity) and Sharpie Ultra Fine Point permanent markers (in any color).

There is a case of the sword being mightier than the pen - the O's pen has been terrible.

You were wrong about them being under .500 by June 1. They were 23-23. Obviously, you've got some work to do on your prognosticating.   :D  
 
 They actually had the best bullpen in the league until they started wearing down. If you put Rodrigo back in the pen and got five inning eating starters, they'd be an excellent bullpen.

Pretty close. Looks like the slide below .500 has begun. I agree with you about Rodrigo. He fills a good bullpen role. DeJean has been a total disaster, as has most everyone else save BJ Ryan and Julio. Groom is hugely overused. See my point about their young pitching? To be fair, they still have the best pitching pipeline right now in the bigs, but most of those guys need another year or two.

but the O's have one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball.  or thats what one of the announcers hinted at in the first inning....
 
 yankees are a lot like america.  have a lot of money and super ppl but has a shit load of haters...
