Think you're tough? Try writing with metal.

Ink is so twentieth century. Nowadays, if you want your writings to last the ages, you'd better be using metal. Grand Illusions has created a writing implement that is made of a metal alloy that can leave a mark on most types of paper. Since there's no ink and no lead, there's no reason to ever refill or sharpen this implement, though since it actually works like a pencil, it will wear down slowly over time. Still, for $30, a pen that will potentially last for years is a pretty good bargain. Long as you don't lose it.
You think you're hardcore doing your crossword puzzles in ink, eh? Try metal, sucker. Don't call yourself a dedicated cruciverbalist without one. In fact, don't call yourself a dedicated cruciverbalist period, 'kay?
