Desert Island Pen

The Pen Addict gets questions:

I was asked by @dancoopermedia on Twitter the other day for a pen recommendation, specifically, if I could have only one retractable pen, what would it be? I didn't have to think very long before mentioning that I would pick the Pilot G-2 0.38mm and be a happy camper. The pen writes great, is durable, and very affordable. If I need to get something done and need a pen that I know isn't going to give be any trouble, the G-2 0.38mm is the pen I grab.

I've always liked the Pilot Precise V5, though Mrs. Cleek correctly notes that the ink is water-soluble and runs if you get the paper wet. This would be a concern on an island.

    Just flew in from JC’s BJ on the link. Got a feelin’ I’m gonna like this site. Can’t wait to check out the ‘name that Beatle song’ contest. I personally like the Pilot G-2 07. It has nothing to with the fact that I steal them from my girlfriend, who steals them from her work. It would still be one of my favorite writing implements even if I had to pay for them. Is that wrong of me?

    no. stealing pens (or any office supplies) is not a crime. it’s a duty.

    A ‘duty’ you say. Mmmm, I like that. I like that quite a lot. Relieves me of having to affect any faux guilt burden. Thx! Oh, and by the way; can I borrow your pen? heh heh!
