I have Jinhao 450 filled with Baystate blue for the past 5 years. It hasn't exploded yet![]()

Last BSB comment. I promise.
Grok AI's answer.
(Weird Al Yankovich style parody of "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor, focusing on Noodler's Baystate Blue ink)
Title: "Nothing Stains Like Baystate Blue"
Verse 1:
It's been seven hours and 15 days,
Of tryin' to scrub your stains away.
I thought it was just a simple ink blot,
But Baystate Blue's got me caught in its plot.
Chorus:
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue,
Nothing sticks like that ink to you,
I've tried and tried, but it just won't do,
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue.
Verse 2:
I spilled it on my carpet, what a mess,
Now everything I touch is in distress.
My hands are stained, my socks are too,
This ink from Noodler's, what can I do?
Chorus:
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue,
Washing won't help, what can I do?
It's on my fingers, all over my shoe,
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue.
Bridge:
I've tried every cleaner, from soap to bleach,
But this ink's so stubborn, it's just out of reach.
Maybe I'll give up, maybe I'll cry,
Baystate Blue, you've got me, oh my!
Verse 3:
I wrote you a love note, thought it was cool,
But now I'm regretting this ink from Noodler's pool.
It's permanent, indelible, oh what a sight,
I guess I'll live in blue from now on, right?
Chorus:
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue,
It's the ink that's always true,
A lesson learned in a shade of blue,
Nothing stains like Baystate Blue.
Outro:
So if you're looking for ink that will stay,
Baystate Blue will make sure it's here to play,
But be warned, it's not just a phase,
Nothing compares, to those Baystate stains.

I know it's not nice to tease, but I haven't had the time to sit down and sketch with this pen.
So here's a sneak peek
Ever seen a dark brown (very pretty) Pilot Custom?
Yes this is a special edition, and I'll spell out the details with the sketch accompanying it.
I'm very excited to get this pen.
Unless someone here recognize it and spill the beans![]()

Actually, bleach effortlessly removes BSB.

A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'

Having mentioned that I had seven pens inked, I may as well show the other two.
Sheaffer Imperial on the left, not really sure what kind, although my database says Imperial 440. Steel nib, writes quite nicely, but I hadn't used it in a while. It came with a Sheaffer squeeze type converter, but I've put a black Sheaffer cartridge in it.
And my Lamy 2000, loaded with De Atramentis Document Dark Blue. I would use this more often as it writes quite nicely, but the medium nib is broader than I like most of the time. Probably could be replaced, but with so many other pens, it's not really worth it.
Some years ago, I got a sampler of different kinds of notebooks, which included the little Banditapple one that you see. There was nothing particularly good or bad about it, so I decided to use it as an ink log. It's been doing that duty for some time now; I see that my first entry was from May of 2014. And from the latest page, which shows in the picture, you can tell that the the Sheaffer black ink is most definitely not water resistant. I really prefer water resistant inks, but I have quite a few on my shelves which aren't.

I have the exact same Sheaffer from Peyton Street Pens. They also called it a 440.
Some of today's pens:
Omas 361T/Pilot blue-black
Tactile Turn shaker
Not pictured, Jinhao 9016/Hero red, as before.

I can’t share the name of the pen I used today. When I return to the bank, I’ll get another and have a close look.
Wouldn't it be funny if it was...
