Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils.

Gee, this is the dullest blog. It shouldn’t be too entertaining
I neatly line my pencils on my desk calendar. : I
I didn’t, never have, and never will join “Twitter” but to me this looks like what it’s all about…
I found your blog.
I read through 353 comments,
my eyes began to glaze over.. the words scrolled past me in a blur.. I wondered why on earth I was doing this.
I could not stop reading. I began to rock backwards and forwards in a slightly traumatized manner. I realised I will never get those hours back.
Now I have reached the end, I shall click “Submit Comment” and go find a corner in which to curl up and cry.
Pencils are a fascinating invention. They still write underwater. Fill up your bathtub and try it.
Dave, I like this!
My pencils have erasers on them. Does yours?
Don’t do the bathtub experiment. That would be interesting.
I was going to say what Riccardo Terrori said on May 7th …
Some pencils are near me right at this very moment. When I go to bed in a minute they will be slightly further away. I like pencils. Thanks pencils. Thencils.
I have no pencils, only ball pens.
I also once had several pencils.
The blog is fine and the comments make it so much more….
I can waste some time here!
I find so many of the comments to your blog to be exciting that I start to tire reading them and as i lose my attention… i scan and scroll on looking for something more boring; boring but not tedious and simpleminded. The commentary is absolutely loathsome.
It is now clear to the world, that a vast majority of the world lacks a truly unique idea, but the world is too obsessed with the world to be the world themselves. I hope you agree.
now, on the subject of your blog: I use carpenter pencils now mostly, they are in a more oblong shape than the #2’s. I don’t let them get scattered because i only use one at a time. So, my question is: why would you have them scattered in the first place?
to clarify: i don’t scatter pencils and that is why i asked. I was not trying to judge you.
In Russia, pencils use you!
Pens, think of the pens
Dear Cariboss & friends –
Tried to follow up on the exciting, compelling, and most poignant for our time story of What Happened to Stevie the Geek.
Because I’m a dullard in general and particularly stupid when comes to computers, I couldn’t figure out how to post the update on the renovated website here.
But now I have. And I promise you, i shall shortly and without fail tell the rest of the story about Stevie the Geek.
It is a point of honor to finish the story, to not finish it would be to desecrate the memory of one of the mid-century’s greatest thinkers, Stevie the Geek.
More shortly to follow.
Yours in dullness,
=Z.=

what coulors were they? im a big fan of pencils, i sharpen mine everyday!
i hate pencils
I read all the comments and I realize we all have a thing for pencil.
Mine is without eraser and it’s mechanical.
I put mine in the pencil box when I don’t use it.
I love my pencil.
i tried the bathtub thing, but couldnt keep the paper dry.
DAMN YOU SCIENCE!
what about the pens?
I used to chew all my pencils when I was a kid so that they were all rough and the paint flaked off so they looked like leprosy. One advantage was that nobody wanted to steal them.
no one actually cares

Pencils are great. They still write without having tidied up.
It is rarely advisable to store your pencils in a draw. You will soon find your collection of pencils is under-utilised and become tempted to replenish it via a trip to the stationers. Before long your new pencils will find themselves in a similar predicament to your old pencils,”scattered” across the desk. At which stage it is more than likely you will repeat the same mistake of “placing” them in a “draw”. Cycles such as these used to repeat themselves ad infinitum until the invention of the simple desk-tidy in the mid 1920s.
Congratulations!
Your pencils have found their way into a scientific book about Weblogs!
Chuck Norris put the “ill” in pencil
my pencil isnt yellow like most of yours, mine is green
I enjoy writing with a newly-sharpened pencil. I like the crispness of the letters, and how you have to blow away a bit of excess graphite powder when you’re finished with the letter, word, or sentence you’re writing.
It can’t be too sharp, though. Then it pokes holes or cuts small recesses in the paper as you write. I find the sensation produced by this action unpleasant.
“one by one”
Oh anticipation is sexy.
Putting blunt or broken pencils away will only lead to disappointment at some point in the future. Consider sharpening before filing.
my pencils are kept in a little pencil tin, i open the tin when i want to draw a picture
All my pencils are now point down, but this leaves point ends in the bottom of the pencil pot.
How many different pencil drawers do you have?
I have 8.
I ate a pencil yesterday…
Stop the World I want to get off. How fascinating can so uninteresting a topic be to 300 plus people? Help!!
I used to have a variety of pencils on hand, available to use at a monents notice. But that was before they took away all of my sharp objects. I wish I still had a drawer full of pencils.
alot of comments, thinking of that you were tidying up pencils… O.O
Quite the existential comments for so dull a topic.
…This blog rocks.
