Cheap quill pens and ink are easily obtainable from your local petting zoo, in the bird and aquatic areas respectively. :eng101:

Like, this trolling isn't up to snuff with the high quality of stuff us pen guys are looking for.
I suppose it's got potential to be mildly amusing but I just don't see such a rich vein to exploit with people who like fountain pens. So what? Oh, it seems needlessly expensive. BAZOOPLE! What are you? A 19th century puritan? "You're not frugal enough, by jove".

Jumping in to shout "I don't understand this! It is outside of my very limited and narrow view of the world" doesn't really make you a comedic genius. It makes you white noise.

a fountain pen would be better for killing hitler, actually, since you can only kill him in the realm of fiction now. just something to think about.
