The obsession with PFM continues

[mhosea]

You could have said darn.

Yes, the mending of garments with yarn is quite abhorrent. I cannot think of it without wincing. OTOH, he could even have said "vile and contemptible". That's almost good enough, don't you think?

It apparently affects some people quite strongly. Go for it, I say.

The obsession with PFM continues with my latest acquisition of a Legacy.

I like Legacy the most, followed by PFM IV then PFM. That being said deciding my favorite among these gems is like deciding the favorite among your children

It's more of the weight and feel. It just feels more substantial.

That 1970s ad makes me just cringe and whine in pain. Oh the shirt. Oh that tie. Oh, the HORRIBLE wording in the copy. And then to read, "SHEAFFER still the proud craftsman" as their motto. Good lord, it makes me clutch my Snorkels and my Tuckaways and whimper at just how far the mighty can fall...

How can you doubt copy from TEXTron?

I did not realize that either.

I was always instructed that PFM meant "pure f-----g magic."

This is a real revelation.

This incarnation of PFM looks like a really upscale Imperial. I have Imperials with chromed caps with gold filled clips. Probably better off with the Imperials as there's not so much lost when I lose the pen.

Here is a PFM (Legacy same size) next to a couple samples of Imperials.

A nice comparison. The PFM does look luxurious.
