Pencils Are So Obsolete
The last time that I had used a pencil was back in high school when I had AP art but since then I have never laid a finger on a #2 pencil ever again. Okay fine, I lied, I had to use a pencil for scantron exams but only by force. The only real benefits of using a pencil or mechanical pencil is for the ability to go back an erase your content instead of going all John Madden all over your work. Erasing is nice but it doesn’t stir away from the fact that you have to sharpen your pencil consistently when you break your tip or run out of lead. Doesn’t it peeves you to only break your tip right after you spent the time to sharpen it? If you voucher for a mechanical pencil then you would have to buy lead to refill and even dispose of your short lead pieces because it refuses to stay put rather than sink back into the barrel. Worst of all, when you run out of eraser, you are forced to use an alternative to erase either by buying an eraser attachment, refill, or an eraser of its own. Too much junk and too much nonsense. Pens FTW!
I always knew buttholes were meant for more
