Nanny Goats in Panties Rotating Header Image

Wanna Flick My Bic? I Got a Million of ‘Em

Sep 3rd, 2009
by Margaret.

I sprung up from the chair and bounced to the door barking like crazy, nearly peeing on the tile entryway when the FedEx gal rang my bell yesterday. I wanted to knock her down and lick her face when she asked me to sign for the package I was expecting.

Instead, I stoically thanked her, closed the door and burst into my office looking for the scissors. Boy, oh boy – they’re here! They’re here!

Wanna see?

single Nanny Goats in Panties pen

There’s just one thing…

Box of 300 pens

They required a minimum order. You know, like drinks at a comedy club. Only I had to buy more than two pens.

I’m gonna be giving away goat pens until the cows come home.

In an effort to begin passing these out, the first 10 people to say “I want an NGIP pen” or something closely resembling it, I will happily send you one. Heck, I’ll even send you two! No, seriously. That box? 300 pens.

I might also add that these are good pens, as in, pens that work. Not those crappy free pens that your insurance agent sends you with that useless calendar/refrigerator-magnet/bottle-opener/4-inch-ruler combo thingee. I knew I had ordered good pens. How? Because Stimey over at Stimeyland gave me one of hers at the BlogHer conference a few weeks ago and I begged her to tell me where she got hers.

So that’s how I knew.

Anyway, you first 10 people showing the slightest interest in an NGIP pen, just make sure you leave your email address in that first part of the comment form (which is invisible to everyone but me) and we’ll coordinate shipping. If I normally see you in real life, you don’t need to say you want one because I will be giving you one (or twelve) the next time I see you whether you want one (or twelve) or not because: 1) 300 pens, and 2) That’s a lot of pens.

{UPDATE: Due to popular demand, corporate has just authorized me to send out a pen to anybody that wants one, so in the words of Oprah….”EVERYBODY GETS A PEN!!!! EVERYBODY GETS A PEN!!!!” }

frilly pink panties

Heading for Thank You letters

I would like to thank Kathcom over at Magick Sandwich for not giving me an award. No, really. She totally passed me over and I could just kiss her.

    Oooh me, me, me! I want a NGIP pen!
    You know what would be awesome? If all the bloggers in the world printed out their own pens or magnets or whatnot and it became some huge hobby to collect them all and some of them (like mine) became very valuable and we all cashed in right before the blogger swag market went all Beanie Baby!
    Oooh, I am so off to make some swag.

  • Todder

    I want an NGIP pen! Pretty Please!

  • http://www.ihatemymessageboard.com Tracy

    Oh no, where did my comment go. I know I made one! Did you not approve it because you want to steal my brilliant idea of starting the blogger swag collecting craze then cashing out right before the bottom went out? That’s low!
    Anyway, I want a pen so I can start with part one of my 5 point plan to make millions off blogger issued pens.

  • http://www.ihatemymessageboard.com Tracy

    Okay, great now my comment shows up after I make a 2nd comment and now I look like a nutjob.
    Better send me two pens to make up for pain and suffering.

  • Carolyn Bahm

    Well, I’d be glad to take any you’re willing to give away for the “goodies table” at our upcoming SocialCampMemphis2. ;o) It’ll be overrun with enthusiastic social media types, about 100-150 estimated, Memphis, TN. Details at http://bit.ly/tcBYr and http://socialmem.eventbrite.com/.
    I know this is very greedy of me to ask — it’s just a thought. But hey — it’ll be a built-in media-savvy audience there for you. ;o)

  • http://twogirlsformama.blogspot.com/ Sandra Fo Fandra

    Well yee haw. I’d be happy to take 1 (or twelve). Gosh darn if I ain’t always lookin for a pen in my purse and never can find one. It might be that my purse is 20 lbs and full of crap (I mean important stuff).

  • Jesa McGinty-Green

    If I was ever-so-lucky as to receive a pen, it would be the happiest pen in NC. I would hug it and kiss it and name it george…No, I won’t do that, but it would be really nice to get mail that isn’t a bill for once:(

  • http://beo101.livejournal.com FreaKeroppi

    Psh. So I don’t have to say I want one then? Alright. Next time you’re over, bring one (or twelve).

  • http://www.beyondleftfield.net RedRaider

    I want a NGIP pen! Super cool. I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble giving out 300 pens. Seriously, people will take them off of your hands.

  • http://isk8jewel.blogspot.com Julie

    I have a pen addiction. I have more pens than I could ever possibly need. That being said, if you need to unload more NGIP pens, I’d be happy to assist you.

  • http://www.ergohumor.blogspot.com Scott

    Oh I would love one! But if you don’t have any left, well…sigh. I suppose I’ll live without one. Everyone I know will have one. I know it.

    I was very sad.

    Oh fudge and lemonade! I am comment number 24. No NGIP pen for you, Diary. Even though you would take it to chic NY locales like the Stop and Shop, The Smithaven Mall (yeah, you heard me) and my super exclusive gray office building. By being number 24, we have denied that NGIP pen the world travel it so richly deserves. I’ll leave it to you to tell pen number 290 that it WILL NOT be going on a junket to NY.

    Congrats on not getting an award. Very cool. :)

  • Laurie

    Nice pens! I’m not even gonna ask for one. But they’re lovely, truly they are. I’m sure they are ever so much nicer in person….though I’ll never know. (sniffle)

    If I tell you I’d very much like to “flick your bic”, can I have one?

  • Wayne

    I’m a bit late here, but if you decide to send out some more I’ll take one. Not that I really need more. There are at least 30 pens around the house from my wife’s clinic. Yours are pretty cool, though.

    Well, dang – looks like I’m a day late and a dollar short! But I’ll say it anyway…
    “I want an NGIP pen!”
    I don’t suppose you’ll tell us your source, in case any of us ever needs a few hundred pens….?

  • http://idothings.ino JD at I Do Things

    DANG!
    NOW who’s barking and peeing — in frustration!
    I see I am too late. BUT! I will settle for the name and/or URL of the place you got the pens. For, you see, I would like my own 300 pens that I can give out. Because lookit your comments! They’re so cute! Everyone wants a NGIP pen! They’re desperate.
    Nice job.

    It’s the little stuff in life.
    Love that you found the restraint to avoid knocking the delivery woman to the ground in your quest to get your hands on the pens.
    And they look awesome :)

    I’ll even send a dollar to defray cost of shipping.
    Lord knows I need a reason to rush to the mailbox in anticipation hoping, just hoping, that today will be the day that my NGIP pen arrives. I’m sure this will be even more exciting than an Orphan Annie decoder ring OR Jr. Birdman Wings.

    I am not famous enough for my own pen but I do have my own sticker. Kids love my stickers. I will happily trade you my sticker for your pen. Kinda like kindergarten.

    Trust me, you are never going to run out of those things. I still have, like 150 of mine.
    Did you jump up and down when you opened the box? I did when I opened mine.
    But the really great thing is you will never again be like, “Where is a pen?” because you have a gajillion of them.

    Old Injun could use pen to decorate lodge walls in Maine winter. Sounds better than trying for world record for inside snowball stacking, which has been passtime until Mrs pointed out that all I got was wet lodge floor waiting for dogsled with Guinness rep.
    Been wondering, will goats be good sled animals? Seem to be less finicky than dogs about menu.
    If got extra pen, wife wants bullet hole in lodge roof plugged. If know good source for cold-weather goats that’d be helpful.

    By my calculations (which are, thanks for asking, 300 pens – 93 goat fans begging for swag with duplicate posts canceling greedy basterds who want more than one pen), there are 207 pens up for grabs. At least I hope so. Because I would love one (just one), mainly to make my coworkers jealous. Because, really, isn’t that what it’s all about?
