i have to say i'm a huge fan of Faber-Castell Aktiengesellshaft pens and pencils, especially the Graf Von Faber-Castell lineup's Perfect Pencil. it just might beat out the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil in terms of usability and sexiness, but i have to admit the Dixon Ticonderoga is a solid pencil for all writing needs.

write something out, wait a few seconds, then read it again and think 'is this funny or contributing to the discussion in some way?' if not, just don't post it. i do this all the time (yes that means what you're reading is the cream of the crop, baby!)

also, all pro posters use posting gel for maximum performance with no chafing

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

Right and then also start using voice to text so you don't even have to type it's awesome

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Be funny if you can. Be at least slightly interesting if you can't. And if you can't manage either of those, be boring, brief, and easily scrolled past - no one will tell you you AREN'T posting good then so you can finally believe your posts are good regardless of their real quality level.
