    Never use the plastic one. You want a good metal Helix one.

    Go to an artshop and buy proper tools, not a eurostore. Honestly - it's like asking why you can't stream movies on dial-up internet.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Too be fair if some rubbers weren't useless a fair amount of us wouldn't be here.

    But that's all going to change now because it's easy to pretend to be suicidal.

    Oooohhhh topical gag!

    You kids and your "Pencil Sharpeners" and "Parers". How cute.

    Real men use a knife to "sharpen" our pencil.

    Real men don't use knives at all. They just intimidate the things they need sharpened into being sharp.

    Why would Chuck Norris need a pencil, shouldn't carbon rearrange itself to form the patterns he requires?
