Stabby martyr pencil holder.
Pencil holders that stab a little creature in their use?
We’ve been called “gentle” here at Pencil Revolution in the way we write, and I personally take that as a high compliment. Pencils are somewhat gentle. That’s part of what we love about them.
But sometimes it’s good to be a little…rough, too.
With that in mind, here is a link Shaun sends us from Boing Boing:
“Funfurde sez, ‘Pencils are boring [sic!]. Putting pencils into the Sebastiano pencil holder, however, is the height of entertainment. At least, it’s as entertaining as putting pencils into a holder can be. Unless you don’t like stabbing them into the belly a tubby plastic guy lying spread eagled on your desk, in which case this item is not for you.’”
Read the rest here.
Thanks, Shaun!

At first I thought it was a turtle, and I thought, “Who would stab a nice turtle?”!!!
I have a very old Sandra Boynton pencil cup that says, “Keep your paws off my pencils.”

Yep, Coffee Cup works real well for me, and if I happen to forget it when changing jobs so be it, there always seems to be a discarded one floating around. Or some vendor will stop by with swag.
Right now my pencil/pen/mini-screwdriver/quickblade holder is an “Enterprise Technology Group” coffee cup. I don’t even know who they are, it was just in the desk drawer when I started this job.
At home I have a variety of such holders. My favorite being my Stimpy Mug.

I am facinated by your love of pencils. I love a thick pencil that writes dark.

That was worth a chuckle, thanks. ;-)

Poor St. Sebastian. Gets no respect at all these days.
Not like St. Ignatius of Loyola. The one who probably smoked unfiltered Camels and put them out by grinding them into the soles of his bare feet. Won’t find him turned into a pen frog.
