I will not hand it to Duffy because he’s a nincompoop, but I do thinks that anybody over about twelve should be required to wear Real Pants on the plane. (Socks and shoes too, omg)

Nice that the bladder works! I don’t know what to make of the threaded end, either. But the bottom end should fit to the nib and then you’d dip the nib, fill the bladder, and then re-place the barrel over the cartridge.

I haven’t seen those before so had to look them up, and they’re neat. I think the open end would just fit into the pen’s nib. Is there still a little rubber bladder inside it? If not, it’s apparently repairable but may be easier to get a converter like this: www.atlasstationers.com/products/par...
