If one wears spectacles, it's very hard to keep a pen or pencil behind an ear - a convenient lodging place.
Hence "Pentacles" - spectacles with sidepieces that have clips to hold a ballpoint pen on one side and a pencil (0.5mm propelling) on the on the other.
That's it.

Tenously, for looking in the distance and keeping a pen:
Biroculars. |
|
| |
Available in Japan. Ask for them by name .... |
|
| |
Anyway, could become the new geek standard. |

Those would be "pocktacles," [Phoenix]. Their design could be be said to be "apocktaclyptic." |
|
| |
would they help you spell? |
|
| |
So what are tentacles, spectacles for tent pegs and poles? |

a) But wouldn't you have to take your glasses off when you write?
b) People still use pens? |
|
| |
I need one for my graphics tablet pen (sticks tongue out at waugs) |
|
| |
I use a chisel and slabs of marble, papyrus if it's just a quick note. |
|

[blissmiss] I don't get what pig farmers do with their pens when they take their glasses off... |
|

Dear John,
Thanx ever sow much for the pentacles. The glasses are perfect for my daily double of slop & schnaps. The pig pen is just the thing for keeping the little porkies out of trouble.

I think I just stepped in the shinola. |

I wear glasses and keep my pen behind my ear. I haven't found it a problem so far. Fumbling around with clips on the side of my glasses every time I wanted to write something would just make me more of a laughing stock than I am already.
I'd go for something that can be brought into action a bit more quickly. A flick-pen perhaps? |

Nice link Sleepy....I thought of adding a similar one when this first appeared, but then decided against it |
|
| |
// a friend of [waugsqueke], perhaps? // |
|
| |
"Dragons don't have any friends. The nearest thing a Dragon has to a friend is an enemy that's still alive" (Terry Pratchett, "Guards ! Guards !"). |
|
| |
Additional idea: Maybe the pen could be held on by some of that flexible self-adhesive magnetic strip stuff. |
