It isn't often I get to gloat about anything tool related anymore, but
all this talk of round pencils,etc., has made me look at the pencils I
have stashed.  According to y'all, I am one lucky dude.  I have almost
all the pencils you have discussed and then some.  I also have 3 full
boxes of advertising pencils from 2 previous businesses that are round
and are cedar with a green coating.  Honestly have no idea what
they're worth, so make me an offer for how many you need/want.  and
I'll send you some plus postage.  I'm guessing there are more than 300
pencils available.

Guess that qualifies as a FS, doesn't it....  Sorry, I got carried
away in all the excitement.

goes unmentioned, so it’s not an uncommon oversight of a good pencils place in
daily activities.
