I Can Write On Anything!

I got some birthday Sharpies today, pictured in the icon :-)

12 different colours, but I wondered why there were two close shades of orange but no yellow or dark purple. major_clanger did a bit of web searching and found that UK Sharpie Minis come in only eight different colours (presumably the two four-packs he found - the other four colours he had to delve in a miscellaneous bucket for), while in the US they have 24 colours.

He also found the British Sharpie Owners Association, though this is apparently for boats and not for cultish permanent markers. "I should have guessed because they talk about a 12 square metre Sharpie, which is presumably not how much you can colour in with one."

All very beige-ish colours, I must say.

I think we should form a Sharpie collector's cult association. Then we could have street fights with Pez collectors. Yeah!

The street fights wouldn't last long -- just open a pen, and all the Pez folk would run for cover.

We could go undercover and infiltrate them, by writing Pez on our Sharpies with a Sharpie :-)
