I hate when the eraser on the end of my mechanical pencil gets worn down to a nub and then I can't get it out to put new lead in. Whose stupid idea was that? Funny you should ask, because I don't know. The guy who registered the first patent for a pencil with an eraser on the end, however, was named Hyman Lipman. If that isn't simultaneously the gayest and straightest name in Anglophone history, I don't know what is.RATING: new 99%
worn down 2%

A writing prompt: A day in the life of you, a pencil. Your God/creator is Hyman Lipman. Aaaaand, GO!
Actually, this image is incredibly disturbing to me (not being ironic / sarcastic).
Aww, does the thought of that pencil putting his sharp thing in that big hole bother the big bad viking?
Personally, I like the way the big hole is getting a burst of happiness from it. Clearly it enjoys sharpening the pencil!
You guys are gross. I quit.
