Astronaut Pen

I received a nice pen from Acura of Canada the other day (kind that writes while your lying down on your back). Does everyone get one of these, wasn't sure because I had not read any posts mentioning it.

I got a pen inside my Acura Owners manual package. It is a clicker type pen. Is this different?

I got my pen this week too. I had a clicker-type I got from my dealer, I thought that was the one everyone was talking about. Now I see it's different.

So yes, we Canadians get the Indigo Blue Pearl (blurple), the heated mirrors AND free space pens. If that doesn't make up for no nav, I don't know what could.

BTW I read somewhere that NASA spent $2 million developing the space pen. The Russians used pencils. Hmmm.

Yeah.... yeah... yeah. BTW, I LOVE the "blurple".. that is a freaking riot!!!!

Oh, we may have spent $2 million on a pen, lost out on some cool heated mirrors amongst other features... but you all got the French. Now, if you only had the right to bare arms!!!

By all means enjoy. Are you taking requests for some more? Oh, its not that I don't appreciate the French culture and all the contributions to history... that's not it at all. Its just a personality conflict. Good or bad, atleast we have one.

**EDIT

BTW... this is all in fun... not trying to start something... just have a good laugh about humanity at the expense of a weird thread.

Well, then call out the SWAT team, moda. My car is the IBP and I got personalized plates that read "BLURPLE". Just couldn't resist.

Years ago I had a job that had me calling a lot of suppliers based in Quebec. Sometimes when I was bored, I'd call them up with trivial questions, just to listen to the nice sales girls with the sexy French accents. Ahhhh...

I don't think I can get away with that... since I'm married and all, but I see your point. I had a college friend and her major required having to take Japanese. There was nothing better than listening to her speak in Japanese... seeing that she was a blonde American girl who spoke it very well.
