    Toothy - One or both tines' tipping missing
    Soft - Tried it. Bent it.
    Springy - Crusher can get it to lift off the feed a bit.
    Elastic - Tried it. Bent it. Sort of bent it back okay. You probably won't even notice if I take the picture from this angle.
    Semi-flex - Crusher got it to really lift off the feed.
    Flex(y) - I can get it to lift off the feed and here's a picture of me mashing the nib to prove it.
    Wet noodle - It's cracked.
    Brushy - It's cracked and bent.
    Wet - The tines are so far apart they're virtually in separate countries.
    Dry - It's clogged with old India ink.
    Gusher - There's a crack in the section.

    That is, hand's down, one of the funniest things I've ever read on a pen board! Thank you - I desperately needed a smile this morning.
