Yikes!

Thanks to Mike Brown at Oddments of High Unimportance.

Haha. Thanks for this. And thank you. Asheville Citizen Times, for "Hey man, buy a pencil or be a social outcast."
(I see an OCA motto there!)

Your comment reminds me that I missed the Yikes! craze. This post probably explains it.

I don’t like the idea of threatening someone over their choice of writing instrument, but that would be a good motto.
