I'm just wondering if these ugly pens were intentional or did they actually think they had a good idea going.

I dont think I could produce a pen as ugly as most of these if I tried.. And dead butterflys dont cry. They are just to crispy to care.

Believe it or not, I did think I had something going. I was not intending to wind up with one butt-fugly pen that I wouldn't sell for two dead flies.

Good thing Buzzzz4 won in the superbowl pool. Now he can use real materials to make pens out of. No more ugliness from him allowed.
Now here is a really hideous thing from our friend Buzzzz4. It's a good thing this is his second entry, because they're just getting worse!
User Name: Buzzzz4
Pen Name : Big Top Click
Pen Story : So my daughter comes up carrying this doll from my childhood and asks, "daddy is this ugly enough for your pen"? I collected clowns as a child, and was given this doll from my grandmother. It reminded me so much of the clown from IT that I couldn't look too long at it. Now he will reside on a CSUSA clicker forever. I present to you Big Top Click.

Somehow I can top this next year.

And the nice part is that I won't have to drill out my dolls anymore for pen blanks!!!

PC Disaster
Here's a nasty looking mess for our next entry. It kind of makes my eyes hurt!
User Name: usafvet98
Pen Name : PC Disaster
Pen Story : I ordered some canes from Toni to try Polymer Clay pens and while it looked easy, it wasn't. Had everything sliced and rolled on the barrel and placed in a toaster oven I purchased just for this. According to the directions on the clay it says 250F for 25-30 minutes. After 5 minutes the shop filled with smoke and bamm! We have a "PC Disaster"!

More fried butterflies... does Toni know about this abuse from you and CaptG?

My confidence in my butt-fugly pen is being pretty seriously rattled here. I'm trying to figure out how to make a MORE ugly pen just to try to level the field out.

To-fi
Now this one is literally enough to make most of you retch! A real contender if you ask me!
User Name: sparhawk
Pen Name : To-fi
Pen Story : This is a chrome Carbera i made for people who bite their nails. The blank is made from toenails and fingernails(hence the To-Fi) and skin sandings (which you can't really see but provide the roughness in the finish around the nails). Now you can nibble on your pen and leave your fingernails to grow to a nice smooth finish. It has 10 coats of clear gloss acrylic enamel but you can still chew right through that and since it will taste bad this will help you break the nail nibbling habit.

That's a pretty skanky pen. I hope it is encased in concrete and buried and then has a concrete slab poured over it once the contest is finished.

I thought it would be kind of cool if he used a little fingernail polish of different colors on it! :wink:

What a dirty, dirty masochistic thing to say. The nerve of some people.... Jeez....:biggrin:

Scott i may do that then cast it in clear pr. Just in case some one wants one without the benefit of the nail biting therapy. I almost cast it to start with but i was afraid it would take away the full nail feeling experience.

Anal Beads
And here is our final entry! And a good thing too, because this one about did me in.
User Name: scrollsawwoodart
Pen Name : Anal Beads
Pen Story : One of the first pens I even turned with a few curves to it, trying to get away from the straight lines on the normal slimline. Took what I thought was a neat pen to work to show it off. One of my female co-workers started to giggle a little so I asked what. Then she proceeded to tell me it reminded her of her anal beads. Lesson learned: stay away from curves and make sure I never high five this co-worker!

How specialized of a soap do people need?

I still have shivers and shakes everytime I see the pic of this pen.
One thing I did not say about the pen was This lady has not been the same around me since.
Needless to say I have stayed away from coves and showing them at work. Do not need to know anymore!!!

All I can say is: This contest has totally devolved into grossness.
Nice work!
P.S. Was your co-worker an analyst?

I missed the contest this year. First year I have not had at least one entry. (Guess I didn't make any ugly pens this year.) :biggrin:
Truth is, I could not think of anything to top my Phluster Pheasent from last year. :bulgy-eyes:
There are some great looking ugly pens in this year's competition. Good luck to everyone.

She knows now! Now you're going to get it! Good things she likes you guys otherwise I would be sleeping with one eye open.
Sort of a "Sweet & Sour" pen isn't it? Good Mechanics and bad oven temperature....

I'm embarassed to say...
I meant to do this.
(Edit: Oops, I didn't realize the contest was over -- I could have saved the kit ;-)
The question is, how far do you go to create ugly? I figured, once I created an ugly blank, I might as well go for an ugly shape, too

Sparhawk, I think you may need new bushings.
