This is Alpha

[9erempiree]

How much did that cost?

I'm thinking $250 to $300.

There is one like that I want to get and it is $600 but fountains are too damn classy for what I do.

I got my eyes on this one and I don't know if I should get it after grad school -or- when I start my own firm.

I need something nice to sign my signature.

I'm so tired of this "Alpha/Beta" crap on here. I've never heard anybody say this shit out in the real world

Alpha/Beta is an internet thing. In the real world if you call someone's behavior "beta" you're liable to get your ass kicked.

The alpha male is just a sophisticated version of the internet tough guy. Human beings are not a pack of lions.

So this is a pen, right? To write stuff with? Such amazing times we're living in. Technology is making huge strides. Where can I get one of those "pens"? Want to increase my alphaness by buying stationery supplies in order to boost my reproductive value.

[Mr.Kite]

I collect pens too.

Congratulations, what kind of ink are you using?

You should see my handwriting, it looks certain fonts. I call it dropping bombs with class.

Practice that handwriting bro.

I'm using the Mont Blanc Oyster Grey

Its a fountain...it costs about $700

The starwalker is a nice pen, but you need to know that it only takes cartridges and there is no mont blanc converters that will fit the starwalkers. The starwalker does take, i believe the Waterman's converter, which in the end, makes it not truly a mont blanc without the mechanism.

Paying for the education of the children of an entire impoverished family in a 3rd world country also costs about $700. Or a water purification system for a small village. You're wasting $700 on a pen that costs $3 to manufacture and package so that an ultra rich member of the 1% will make a 200 fold profit off your vanity. People like you are suckered into buying tons of useless shit like 'quality' watches too, anything with a posh name brand, a "quality" reputation, and a hilariously high price tag.

If an expensive pen is being alpha, I wonder how much you must suck to be beta.

It's pretty clear that you're just envious of their alphaness. Because spending a few hundred bucks for a pen makes a lot of sense. Especially if you're using them for their original purpose instead of showing them off to strangers on a basketball message board.

Anybody interested in my collection of duct tape? Alpha as phuck!

You live in Ohio. Nuff said.

I hope to be dropping some sophisticated bombs.

Thats what i'm shooting for.

Takes lots of practice bro

LOL, you again.

[ForeverHeat]

LOL, you again.

Hes right though. People may use it out of its original context, but the Alpha/Beta divide is real and you would be a fool to ignore it.

To me you guys are a bunch of followers/lames, always following the trends.
