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!"-

I think the first thing what I would write is "I love this skull pen" and "Osoitz"(my husband's name).

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."
Teaching 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...
A skull.
Fleshless, cracked
And empty.
~ Leah Michele (Brooklyn, Ny)
The first word I would write would be "awesome!!".
I love this skull pen
My first scribble with that beautiful fountain pen would be "Simplify, clarify, vivify!" (quoting Broughton - I wish I were that eloquent"
I'd probably just write something off the top of my head.
GT
gtlenard@verizon.net
I would probably draw with it. :)
The first thing I would write is "Lookie what I won"
loki8477 AT aol dot com
"It's with a heavy heart I commit this account of how I became the sole survivor (human, anyway) of this colony to paper..."
And sweet Regret, smiling amid her tears.
Rosey Bloch
roseycakes@aol.com
I'd probably write "poop", its always been the first word I write with any pen. I guess its the 12 year old in me.
Elyse
elysegirl@gmail.com
I would write an art supply list with my awesome skull pen! crazyquilter59 at yahoo dot com
"Impermanence is beautiful."
kimperial1492 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 ;)
artesmagicasonline@gmail.com
My signature LOL that's how I always test a new pen ;-)
Kristen.richford@gmail.com

This is an art piece to treasure and I really will!
This is ART! I would cherish for the rest of my life as I wear my skull jewelry I make!
MINE! ^^
Happy birthday me!
Cakeordeath3@gmail.com
Without a doubt, I'd be writing, "Have a good day", those are the words that I most often use.
Dear diary...
(My current journal has skulls on the cover, would be a perfect match!)
Or my signature.
leeleer71@gmail.com
The first thing I would do is draw a skull or 2, then I would sign my name on my artwork with my new skull pen..
markymarktaylor@hotmail.co.uk
“Skull-fully” as a new skull painting sketch develops from that point! richellelbrown@gmail.com

Love.
fryek@appstate.edu
Thank you Jac Zagoory for my rad pen, and I promise not to write anything stupid with it!

But seriously, it is a rad bad ass pen
cupcakencrossbones@hotmail.com

Wow. That looks great. I love using just bic pens but now I want to have one of this too. I love it!
What I would write:
"Death, wasn't such a bad dude, really, until you got to know him."
Paul
paulliadis at gmail dot com
I would write "Remember that we live. Remember we must die" (roughly translated from the Latin, memento vivire, memento mori).
RDW0409@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.)

Oops... Duhhh
I reckon I'd just sign my name to my refund check...

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.
chaos_designer at hotmail dot com
I would definitely write YAY or something similar.
evilducky77 at gmail.com
I would write 'I Love This Pen'
aestelze at hotmail dot com
Now I have a reason to write... those would be my first hand written words...
Now I have a reason to write...those would be my first handwritten words with this pen.

Alas! Poor Yorick!
anthropomantist at gmail.com
Thank you, on a hand written note to you for winning this awesome pen.
I still do write letters. :)
Nicole/Beadwright
Beadwright (AT) HoT MaiL DoT COM
I would probably write "Yo Yo Yo!"
"Dear Cousin"
In a skull card, addressed to her.
<3 u!
The first thing I would write would be: 'This book was written with my wicked skull pen, from which my inspiration is drawn.'
aleasha.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.”
I would write it on the front page of my sketchbook, followed by a Skull illustration
Mine!
inkmarqued@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).
I 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.
The first thing I would write is.. "This is my new fav pen !"
My first words would be something like... "Love, love, LOVE this pen!" THANK YOU for your generous giveaway!
debmarie 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.
sailingthedeepdebsea@gmail.com
I'd write one of my favorite quotes... "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead" -Ben Franklin
sarah at LWmarketing dot com
I would write "Love" :)
Where can I get another one? I love skulls and can never find a pen!
Mark@MarkNollDesigns.com

I would scribe,
My 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.
Pick me! Pick me!
ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!! (Japanese for thank you very much!)

At last! Now I can get to that personal manifesto I've wanted to write all these years!"

"Happy Birthday" to my oldest son--this would be a birthday gift right up his alley!
