Dear distinguished sophisticated scholars of the art of writing, ladies and gentlemen....
Is that a quill in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
What a fine set of... inkwells you have!
It's not the size of the penholder that matters, it's how you use it!
Quick more saucy pick up lines before Erica wakes up and bans us all
-
"May I buy you a bottle of... McCaffery's?"
"Dang girl, you've got better curves than my Ornamental Penmanship!"
"Let's go back to my pad and I'll show you my dip pen collection."
"You are more intoxicating than a fresh bottle of Moon Palace Sumi!"
-

"Let's go back to my pad and I'll show you my dip pen collection."
LOL omg. Yeah those would actually work on me!
But hey Linda... wanna see my oblique pen in action? Hur hurhurr
That joke only really works if I'm a guy but uh.. pickup artists cant be picky
-
"Hello, gorgeous! Let me write your name on my heart!" (While drawing a heart on your little cocktail napkin!)
"You're so hot, you're making my ink boil."

I guess we all could imagine lots of uses for "dinky dips" in these pickup lines, but I won't go there. Don't want to be banned from FF!!

You're one long, cool, dip of ink.....

Oh, so you are brave enough to "go there"?! Love it. Fantastic. Any more takers...?

And that's the best way to learn a foreing language! Please continue, I am listening... ;D

Saw the thread title and thought "that'll be Schin, then". :)
I'm going to sit this one out, but please keep 'em coming!

Care to come up to my place for a little desert--a little Gillott-o perhaps?
You're just what the doctor prescribed for me--Dr. Martin, that is.
You and I, baby, could really flourish together.
Come over to my petting zoo sometime. You'll love the Zebras.
The Pearlescence in your eyes outshines the moon and stars.
Hey, cute shoes, honey. Sharper than a Gillott 170.
Hey Dexter, let's seal the deal.
Like fast cars? How 'bout a ride in my Madaraszi?
Can't go to Franklin this summer? Iampethize with you.
(somebody stop me, I've gotta get some work done.)

Oh god, yeah I'm packing up and going home. Thread's closed everybody!
we should be ashamed of ourselves! Some of these terrible puns Mike Sull-y the innocent minds in here! We are a mere hair-line away from being banned!

Sure, but wouldn't you prefer an Esterbrook 322?
-

Banned from the forum? That would be sOblique.

Mike you are KILLIN' it!! 8) 8) 8)
"Gillott-o" almost made me LOL at work :-X

Do you suppose Esther Williams learned to swim in an Esterbrook?
You all are killin' me here --- I'm laughing out loud and my wife wanted to know why - so I read one to her, and explained it of course. She said I could keep the rest to myself. :P
-
Brilliant!
-
Oh man, you guys are too funny... This isn't a pick up line, but it worked for me...
I went out on Friday with my hubby and wanted to pay for dinner and he said, " no honey, let me get it, I'd rather you spent the money on your calligraphy" and I was all, babe I love it when you talk dirty like that!

Way to go Schin,
logged in this morning and have green tea spurting out of my nose. The Office staff think I've lost it ;D
Where were you guys 18 years ago?? ;)
Oops, hope dear wife does not read that :P
" no honey, let me get it, I'd rather you spent the money on your calligraphy" and I was all, babe I love it when you talk dirty like that!
Umm Diamonds.... nibs.... (she wants nibs!!!!!!) My kinda woman :P

Can't believe there was actually a meme for this...

So surprised I did it twice ;)

Even "middle-aged mature men" can get turned on by calligraphy pick-ups...these lines seriously drive my husband WILD. Trust me, ladies. ;D
Honey, your hairline is so fine, not even receding....and about your grays? Shh shh dear, don't you know grey is the new black? (NOTE: even though I fully intend to do a wash of custom colored ink at no upcharge *if* the need ever arises...) And your lush swells...sweetheart my homestyle cooking looks good on you...go on, there's no shame in loosening that belt another notch...and you more than make up for it with your compound curves...do you work out?
And then you both fall asleep watching reruns on the couch.

With terms like flange, nib, swell, upstroke, and downstroke this thread might get pearl ex rated.

I'm guessing you guys don't ever need help to find quotes to write ! These are hilarious !!
Sorry I can't contribute, and sad the french calligraphy vocabulary is not as sexy !
-

Au contraire! French already sounds so sexy, you can say anything like, "Ahh, mon cheri, you look like a round Camembert" and Americans will probably follow you home... ;D ;D ;D
-
I laugh so hard, I Camembert it.

I totally agree with Linda! French is sexy just as it is! You can call me whatever you want and be as angry as you want, I am going to think you are declaring your love and little hearts are going to be on my eyes!

In this case, here's a little contribution to this topic :
"La danse de ta plume chatouille mes sens" (The danse of your nib (feather) tickles my senses )
and some very classic french pick-up lines adapted :
"Vous écrivez toujours chez vos parents ?" (do you still write at your parent's ? should be do you still live at your parent's)
"T'as de belles courbes, tu sais" (you've got beautiful curves, you know. Should be you've got beautiful eyes)
" J’aime deux choses : toi et la (Brause) rose. La rose pour un jour et toi pour toujours" (I love 2 things : you and the (Brause) Rose. The rose for today and you forever...)
And a last one :
"You must have fallen from the Universal Penman"
-
"You must have fallen from the Universal Penman"
That one is genius!!
Coming back from a holiday to this thread is amazing!! :D
-
BRAVO!!! ;D :-*

I saw the title of this thread and was all "we should have a calligraphy puns thread!!!!!"… then I read it and realised it had degenerated (and by degenerated I mean improved of course :P) into a pun thread anyway.
So I just thought I'd take a break from roman the threads to dip in and say I can't believe you guys had the gall to do this, these jokes are oval*! Offhand, I should think I'd be filled with gilt if I'd made such terrible puns as these.
*I just did terrible things to the English language
-
eRicka: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Schin: I'm shocked, shocked to find that calligraphy is going on in here!
(a scribe hands Schin a pile of flourishes)
Scribe: Your flourishes, m'am.
Captain Schin: [sotto voce) Oh, thank you very much.
[aloud]
Captain Schin: Everybody out at once!
and I just did terrible things to my favorite movie
-

Hey baby, your skin is smoother than a pad of Rhodia.
You smell more intoxicating than a fresh bottle of sumi.
Hey baby, they must call you Leonardt Principal cuz you got extra fine lines and bangin' swells.

This thread is just wonderful --- so x-ZILLER-ating!
Don't you enjoy going to JNB or PIA websites to Brause and Hunt around for nibs?
My friend, Claire, who lives in Tripoli, is my Hiro because she has done so much for her hometown. They are naming a new landmark after her - the "Claire-fontaine". Oh my gouache, isn't that great?! One of her accomplishments was creating very small pens for those with small hands...she managed the de-Vellum-ment of this Pilot program's product (sold two in a package) - they named it: "Parr-a-lel Pens".

So they were miniscules? ;)

I have been Brause-ing this forum a lot but I gotta say arherbgm should be pun-ished for the copic-ous amount of punning. It is just too ink-credible!

You are so write schin - I plead gild-y.

Achievement unlocked! :P ;D

Did you know that calligraphers do it on the kitchen table?
-
Omg this thread is perff!! ;D :))

I just saw this thread... and THIS has me crying-laughing-out-loud... at work!! LOL ;) ;D :P
-

This could be a whole sub-genre of this thread.
Calligraphers do it with back-lighting.
Calligraphers do it with flourish (can't claim that one)
Real calligraphers flourish the swells and then seal the deal
Thanks to Prasad for collecting this as one of his favorite threads worthy of being resurrected!
And every time I see something on this thread that mentions "flourish" I remember visiting a historical house many years ago where the 18th-century master of the house kept a very detailed diary, including when and where (!) he would "flourish" his wife just about every day. His diaries literally had entries such as "Flourished the wife on the kitchen table this morning" They had a large number of kids and remained (apparently) happily married for many years.

Bahahahaha! My face is red and I am literally laughing out loud! :o ;D ;D ;D

OMG i'm LOVING this thread!! i'm trying so hard not to laugh out loud now 'cause i'm in the office & suppose to be working! hahahaha! keep it coming guys/gals!! ;D ;)
