    I like that Limited Edition ***** ;) Not a ******* at all!
    Nice collection by the way!

  • http://lostandfound-bjw.blogspot.com/ bonnie jean woolger

    WOW!

    Hmm, a little (not so little) bird tells me that he’ll not be sailing a barrel over the falls in Taiwan…

  • Rquisen

    I almost fell for it.

  • mj

    haha i love john’s description.. i love the description…barrel over taiwan nice hint :D

    Are you sure that side x, #x is a *****?

    • http://fpgeeks.com/ Dan Smith

      Dude, where’s the subtlety?

      • http://fpgeeks.com Eric Schneider

        Brian’s on vacation in Arizona. The heat must be getting to him =)

    No such thing! You totally made that pen up. If it existed we’d all be drooling over the facebook updates for a year and a half and enduring 3-month delays every 6 weeks. Five months after release they’d come out with an improved version, sending early adopters into anaphylactic shock.

    • Minislot

      Ooh that’s harsh…
      …Props to all concerned though.

      P.s. Eric must have been pretty speedy to make that mistake.

  • Fred Pitts

    Oh that Speedy, what a wonderful old bird he is!

  • Shawn Newton

    Dude it’s a Pelikan! :)

  • Lince

    Didn’t saw it in the Astronomical Chart.

  • peterpen53

    Eric, are you quite sure that red Pelikan is an M800? Maybe my eyes are deceiving me at my old age, but mine is definitely taller than that bird that fell all the way to Taiwan.

    I think a little TLC is in order on pen #6, top part.

  • Ian

    Well, I am one of the lucky ones to have seen Maja’s collection in person. Her depth of knowledge always amazes me. The tiniest detail and Maja will know it about pens. Her collection is amazing. Lovely to see it here and of course I will see it in person on Thursday at the next pen club meet!

  • Perry

    Niagara Falls he said… slowly I turned… inch by inch… step by step… then I tripped over that big goofy bird!

  • Darcy

    I see many others have already spotted the deliberate error, and I’m having problems finding an original way of discretely pointing it out. I’ll just have to say that that great big bird spoke to me by the waterfall in Canada, as well. It gets around!

  • Walter

    Noodles in the sauerkraut? Don’t think so.

  • Bogon07

    Gee what a fantastic collection of pens to carry around.
    Incredible colour selection too.

    Do you have a selection of notebooks or just one to go with them ?

    • Maja

      Thanks! Lately I’ve been using a Rhodia No. 13 lined pad with leatherette pad holder. I love the colour orange! :D

      • RagingDragon

        I just picked up a Rhodia #13 with holder last weekend. I’ve tried both smaller and larger pads, but they didn’t quite work for me.
