This contest has ended. Thanks to everyone who entered with your comments. Stay tuned for more contests coming soon.
It's been said, and written, that the pen is mightier than the sword, and in today's legalized mumbo jumbo world those words have never been truer. Of course it's always nice to get a chance to reflect on our thoughts and write them down with a quality writing utensil. An essay, haiku, or love note would all be that much better with this skull pen from Jac Zagoory Designs. The quality of the pen will surely inspire quality of thought. A reminder of life's brevity puts enlightenment in your hand. Keep reading to find out how to win, and also how to get a 15% discount on your order.
"This is a reminder to live in the gift of the moment aptly referred to as the PRESENT. Write down our desires which are the seeds of our abundant future. Perfect for skull collectors, bikers and those who are busy at living life, not living in the fear of dying. A favorite of many doctors and artists. We all have a skull---it represents life. Reach for Inspiration!"-

In all honesty, it would be something like, "Read your paper aloud and you'll hear those awkward sentences" or "Instructions for how to properly cite a website are on pages 236-237...don't just make things up."
ReplyDeleteTeaching English is repetitive.

I would probably quote Jonathan Lethem, "I can't bear the ringing in my skull." followed by an ornate "Thank You!" with huge flourishes!

"Dear sir/ madam" as I am currently (f)unemployed and looking for a new job, going old school with nice hand written letters may help...

ReplyDelete"Impermanence is beautiful."
ReplyDeletekimperial1492 AT gmail dot com
I would definitely write my first name as it's what I always do when I try out a new pen. It's kind of a quirk of mine as, in my mind, the pen becomes mine ;)

I would write "Remember that we live. Remember we must die" (roughly translated from the Latin, memento vivire, memento mori).
ReplyDeleteRDW0409@gmail.com
The first thing I would write with this pen would be the classic sentence, "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in my ink journal (pen junkies journal just for testing pens and different inks.)
ReplyDeleteLeave a Legacy Not a Footprint @google.com

DeleteOops... Duhhh
I reckon I'd just sign my name to my refund check...
ReplyDeletecverdi09 at gmail dot com
First, I would just move the pen on the paper, draw few lines and shapes and observed them, see how they make me feel. Then, thinking those are fitting first words for a pen of this awesomeness, I would write my favourite quote from Pablo Neruda's love poem: "Let life not separate us, and who cares about death." I wish we had the skull pen last time I have seen the quote written. It was at the bottom of the bunk bed in San Francisco hostel and my friend and I only had a sharpie.
ReplyDeletechaos_designer at hotmail dot com
I would definitely write YAY or something similar.
ReplyDeleteevilducky77 at gmail.com
I would write 'I Love This Pen'
ReplyDeleteaestelze at hotmail dot com
Now I have a reason to write... those would be my first hand written words...
ReplyDeleteNow I have a reason to write...those would be my first handwritten words with this pen.

ReplyDelete"Dear Cousin"
ReplyDeleteIn a skull card, addressed to her.
<3 u!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would write would be: 'This book was written with my wicked skull pen, from which my inspiration is drawn.'
ReplyDeletealeasha.burbidge@gmail.com
I would write my name, followed by my fave Neil Gaiman quote: "People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.”
ReplyDeleteI would write it on the front page of my sketchbook, followed by a Skull illustration
Mine!
ReplyDeleteinkmarqued@gmail.com
Probably the date, or a lecture heading. Skull pen would earn mad props in my science classes (I'm a scientific illustration major).
ReplyDeleteI would likely write my name....everyone does that....than after i wrote my name I would write my name with the opposite hand and compare the two.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would write is.. "This is my new fav pen !"
ReplyDeleteMy first words would be something like... "Love, love, LOVE this pen!" THANK YOU for your generous giveaway!
ReplyDeletedebmarie AT ivyrods d o t c o m
"Oh my, this skull pen writes wonderfully. Thank you!" full of loops and flourishes would be my intended writing, but it would probably be a phone message due to having the pen frequently in hand.
ReplyDeletesailingthedeepdebsea@gmail.com
I'd write one of my favorite quotes... "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead" -Ben Franklin
ReplyDeletesarah at LWmarketing dot com
I would write "Love" :)

ReplyDeleteI would scribe,
ReplyDeleteMy Hell
Somewhere in the darkness
In a dark and faraway place
I can feel the pain and hatredness
Upon each tortured face
As I see the demons dancing there
ringing that final bell
Satan stands before me
And points my way to Hell
Tim A McGinnis
Sometime in 1981
O and I collect sculls and things with sculls on them. As I'm sure everyone who comments in here does.
