STeVE bragging about his fountain pens got me thinking. Just what the hell does an aging, out-of-work, unemployable EQ consultant need a fancy fountain pen for anyway? Is he scribing thoughtful correspondence to a cadre of his peers? Or might he be composing lustful missives to a secret paramour? Or perhaps he’s torturously trying to create a follow-up song to the seminal “Cecilila Ann”? Most likely, however, he sits in his underwear at the kitchen table, doodling his own name over and over – still trying to find the perfect style of signature for when he’s asked for his autograph. (After many failed attempts to utilize the Superman logo for the “S” in Steve, he was eventually forced to use a modified G-clef for that letter.) On the topic, I’m curious about this wealth of his; I can’t imagine being a trumped-up cutting engineer or the co-author of one Pixies album track is sufficient to keep him in boomer status-symbol trinkets. Are we to assume that, like Trump, the majority of his wealth comes from inheritance and a trust fund, and he’s just topped it off with some work that makes him look busy?

Are we to assume that, like Trump, the majority of his wealth comes from inheritance and a trust fund, and he’s just topped it off with some work that makes him look busy? He reminds me of the kids that, when I was growing up, were handed the $80 Tommy Hilfiger jeans and the $60 shoes and all that shit. Didn't really work until after college. Mommy and daddy opened up the wallet. That's why you never hear of him working one of those teenager jobs. He never bagged groceries or cut lawns or flipped burgers. To hear him tell it, his folks carted his punk ass around everywhere and bought him every LP and 45 and needle his heart desired. Then, out of nowhere, he gets hired in to a volunteer-only college station, then hired sight unseen into one of the most popular stations in history in the second largest media market in the U.S. It's probably why I don't buy into any of his bullshit. I (and probably most of us) have been dealing with some kind of Steve Hoffman for most or all of our lives. $80 pants, $60 shoes, $30 shirts, brand new Sony Discman, stacks of $18 CDs...and has never lifted a finger to earn any of it. It's like with anything else, he got used to a certain lifestyle. And even if he can't maintain that lifestyle, he will make sure that his little group of followers thinks he does. Who the fuck else writes social media posts about $300 pens? Steve Hoffman, that's who.

C'mon, don't go there, buddy. Not worth it.

"I've been asked..."
"People ask me..."
"A guy asked..."
This from the king of namedroppers.
Fuck him. Nobody asks you shit except how you managed to fuck up 95% of the remasturbations you did.

I think he's literally going insane. My money's on senile dementia. Steve's at about the perfect age for it...it certainly would explain a lot.

He’s drinking from the fountain pen of youth.

Why do these ads remind me of STeVE and his STeVE-ettes?

Is the gold cap version the pen equivalent of a remaster?

Out of sheer boredom, I've bought some pencils and am going to have a go at drawing (I'm hopeless at it.) Naturally, I referred to this thread first to find out which brands to avoid.
