After all, we're talking about the physical representation of a person via the written word. I mean Bic? Are you kidding me? Flick that! I've been a loyal Pilot G-2 man for some time now—nearly a decade. Both the .07 in black for general writing, and the .05 for tighter, smaller, more precise stuff are pretty much the bees knees. True story: I used a G-2 07 the entire time Shan and I worked on the crazy Sharpie tour. During a schmooze cruise around Manhattan for some Sanford reps, while standing on the upper deck of the boat, I took out my pen and little notebook to make some notes. Suddenly, from the lower deck—a good twelve feet below—some Sanford exec yelled, "WHAT! WHAT IS THAT!?!" "I can't write with anything else," I said, and finished up my notes. Stuart-
