Pencils with Halfbakery printed on
the
side with the graphite hardness of
HB, AKA, NO. 2. Maybe even
croissants or fishbones inscribed on
the sides.
It's not hard to find pencils that say
HB on them.
Encourage new ideas with these.
Heck, Halfbakery stationery too.

Many to choose from and available in screen print and foil imprint. Their hex pencils come in "HB" [bristolz, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Maybe get a random mix of taglines in each order. + |
|

I was afraid if I suggested those
construction pencils no one would
like the whole idea. But yes I like
them for flatness for more lines
and ability not to roll. |
|
| |
Quite amazed on how quick this
idea
took off. I would buy pencils and
stationary. 'Cause I use pencils to
halfbake most of my ideas. |
|
| |
Also, I love the smell of fresh
pencils. |
|
| |
would they actually draw though? a non drawing pencil would not stray too far from your desk and I would not want to sharpen these down at all. nice idea! |
|
| |
// double-ended eraser pencil // |
|
| |
I had one of those, from a trade show. I broke it in half and it had lead in it. |
|
| |
the rubber should be in the middle. |
|
| |
You could also shoot for the high end with a desk pen-pencil set. I'd pay up to $40 for nicely-weighted one. |
|
| |
Perhaps a multi-tip style, with one barrell filled with invisible ink.... |
|
| |
Or there's the solar-powered electro-mechanical by some obfuscated means option... |
|
| |
Oooh... these are nifty. <link> |
|
| |
How about a pencil with real lead in it?
DO NOT POKE IN MOUTH. |
|
| |
Lead filled bread loaf for you, [sarty]. + It's just a good idea. The pencil could begin very simply as there are a million add-ons that would come later, rubber grips, novelty erasers, stress head trolls, etc. |
|
| |
//Halfbakery stationary too.// //. I would buy pencils and stationary// |
|
| |
Did you all agree to spell "stationery" incorrectly while I wasn't looking? I won't point it out if that's the case. |
|
| |
No, but *aeroplane* is the de facto standard for uh, aeroplane. |
|
| |
It was intended to be spelled that
way due to the fact that I didn't
check my spelling. |
|
| |
[thumb] I'm sticking with airplane just like airbics, airnautics and airsol. |
|
| |
Could we not have tag lines that go through the pencil (like words in Blackpool rock) so that you get to read it when you sharpen the pencil? Maybe just 2 or 3 tag lines per pencil. |
|
| |
Yaaaaay, my idea is baked. |
|
| |
Am I sugarlump? You talkin' ta
me? |
|
| |
Congratulations [sartrep].. it's pretty impressive to come up with an idea that Jutta likes so much that she goes and bakes it. |
|
| |
Thank you sarty and jutta for my very own limited edition school bus yellow HB pencil! (pending shipping) |
|
| |
the packaging is fantastic, thanks jutta. |
|
| |
[jutta], that is by far the coolest pencil mailer I have ever seen! Kudos! For the rest of you, see [link] and drool. |
|
| |
The boss was in, I couldn't get the monkey... : ( |
|
| |
oops - I just mailed mine off in an
envelope. Let's see if it survives
the journey... |
|
| |
Of course not, b_p, recipes are marked for deletion. |
|
| |
I think the FBI got my pen.. |
|
| |
Apparently the padded bag I sent it in arrived ripped open and empty :( |
|
| |
Well maybe the FBI didn't want my pen after all. It arrived eventually.. just very very late. |
|
| |
Perhaps Australia isn't such a trusted ally after all?? |
|
| |
I'm sure the question of why
someone is sending one pencil
perhaps got other people thinking.
some pencils look like explosives. |
|
| |
especially the wrapping, eh? missed it? silly boy! |
|
| |
It says there are on [jutta]'s linked page. |
|
| |
Pencils! I believe I may have gotten the last few from [jutta] a couple years ago. |
|
| |
Were I to order a batch would any of you like any? |
|
| |
Ah!I have one but more would be good! |
|
| |
Did anyone check if [jutta] still wants to trade writing implements for HB pencils? Seems like that may be the only way to score. |
|
| |
I have not. Suppose I ought to first. |
|
| |
On a side note is it possible to rig a bit of code to notify you if someone mentions your name? Like if the term [jutta] is used does her email get a little flag? |
|
| |
And so I have checked and have been given the green light, so the order has been made. Hopefully the cedar tree has already been planted. |
|
| |
Got my pencils in the post. Many thanks &c. &c. |
|
| |
Now... to sharpen them, or put them away as unused treasures? OK obviously I am not going to sharpen any of them. To put them away as unused treasures in their lovely wee sachet, or individually? |
|
| |
Perhaps sharpen one and keep it and a pad of paper in the loo? You never know when inspiration will strike. |
