On the subject of willymania, I have something I'd like to share. This is quite serious and should probably remain private, but I feel like everyone could learn from thecolonel's life stories..
"When I first started school one of my teachers recommended we all checked out pen island to get pens and other stationary. I wasn't sure why we needed that stuff for physical education but that night I connected my dial-up internet (once mum was done yapping on the phone) and checked out the website."
"It was horrifying. The cost was extortionate. In today's world the price might seem cheap for a firm purchase, but I was a kid and I was scared to tell my parents because they wouldn't think it was appropriate. In my eyes, our teacher just wanted to help, I guess he just had expensive taste. After all, he was really experienced."
"Anyway, I made my purchase and never looked at the website again. It was fine condition, I'd never used it before. I was looking forward to giving it a test run, seeing how it went. People said they really enjoyed it. It only occurred to me recently that I never did use my pen for the entire year. That cĂșnt."
