the "pen" will not have a wrighting tip! the end caps replace that. it is not the biggest shocker but it is suprising.

You can also make a double sided pen from the leftover parts.

I wish I was around for that contest. I'd try so hard to get one... I'm gonna laser engrave my own this year. I'm so glad my school has a laser cutter.

It's cool, but I'm kind of confused. I don't really get the concept.

I know it's funny, but somehow, I just don't see the joke.

I'm just like Bart Simpson in that episode of The Simpsons when he sells his soul to Milhouse or however you spell his name.

Just kidding.

Awesome!

I want to try this out on my dad and my brother, and my mom too. :P

+5/5 stars.

Ok, so you ask your mom or dad to sign your report card. Hand them this pen. Ok, they think it is a perfectly normal pen. They take the cap off, "oops, wrong side of the pen. Wait, the other side has no pen." "Oh nick you are quite the jokester!!"

Jun 1, 2008. 3:33 PMGorillazMiko says:

Hahahaha, "Oh Nick you are quite the jokester!!" If you didn't realize, I put "just kidding". :P
