Lead and pencil production - STAEDTLER

I am not a brainless cunt who just buys shit - so I am not an unquestioning fan of Staedtler Pencils.
But they always work, they are consistent and reliable, the leads almost never break ever when being sharpened - unless the pencil sharpener is fucked, and they look really nice.

Unlike the terrible cheap Chinese pencils that when you sharpen them the lead breaks.
And when you when you sharpen them again, the lead breaks.

Over and over and over again - for the full length of the pencil, and with all the pencils in the box - which just makes me as angry as all fuck - at the manufacturer, at the distributor, at the importer and the usually chain store retailer.

"Like don't you ever use and test your products - before you buy 10 million of them because they are so cheap and then put them up for sale?"

No they don't.

So Fuck You and Fuck Your Store (Woolworths / Safeway Australia) - for putting me in the shit with your crap products - I am buying the German pencils. And I am buying them in bulk from the competition.

So fuck you Safeway - and your retarded cunt hole management.

And the humble pencil - is NOT a singular techological advancement in humanity - but it is a LARGE part of the evolution of technology and communications.

The finished product is very simple, robust, portable and reliable.

They will work when almost nothing else will.

And depending upon the formulation - they are capable of writing on almost any surface, from paper, to glass, to metal, to wood, paints, most plastics etc.

And the drawn or written pencil line, on polished limestone (does not rot unlike paper), deep in a dry desert cave - is basically capable of outlasting humanity.

Pencils are really fucking good things..
