I ordered 3 little Preppy pens the other day and my order just arrived all safe and sound and snugly But, I swear that I burned more calories unwrapping them than I did today with 3 miles of cardio at the gym.

It's like wrapping up the Mars Rover for delivery to the surface.

I think you are all overreacting. Yes, everything is securely wrapped, but I had more trouble opening an MRE yesterday than any package I've ever received. Maybe it's a sign for them to work a little bit harder but geez. Settle down guys.

Once the Ooompa Loompas get singing I imagine they might get a little distracted.
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with a dozen gouletpens.com bookmarks....Marc

My last order from them was wrapped with a blue shrink wrap, and I thought the bottle of ink had leaked. I freaked out when I saw it because I thought it would leak all over my desk at work! They already think I am weird for using fountain pens, and traditional razors and about a hundred other things! Don't need to give them any other reasons!

I'm 26 and I use a fountian pen every day at work and I actually brought my straight into work to practice navigating my face with it. My coworker looked at me kind of weird but whatever.
