Ugly New Year!
My favorite time of year is almost here! Yes, I know most of you mistakenly look forward to the Birthday Bash for all the nice-pen contests; sad, misbegotten souls that you are. But if you look deep inside yourselves, and are brutally honest, isn't it all about the Ugly?
The Ugly Pen Contest, of course!
It's time to Unleash the Ugly! Those little drops of sadness the sometimes fall off our lathes, are now finally worth something. Get them ready to go, the contest starts in just over a month. As usual, there will be prizes, GOOD prizes, for the winners, better prizes than they deserve! And of course there is the prestige, if you can call it that, of having made the ugliest pen.
So what have you all been doing to get ready for The Ugly this year? Casting soap scum? Or maybe insect parts? Have you been gluing things to your pens that you shouldn't have? Go ahead, tell us your best Ugly Pen story! Heck, I might even give a prize for the best story this next week!
For all you Newbies who don't know what I'm talking about, each year we hold a party for the birthday of the IAP. While today, January first, is the anniversary of when we turned on the lights, we actually hold the party the whole month of February. There are lots of contests and fun! And because they are foolish enough to let me run it every year, the Ugly Pen Contest is my favorite part.
So let's get this started! The best story about your Ugly Pen endeavors posted here over the next week will get a prize! Now get to it!
