Have you ever written with one of these pencils? they are the best! In my earlier days of Drawing I use to get these bad boys for 50 cents a piece, and since they have gone out of production in 1998(because the company was bought out, and the machine to make them broke and was scraped) Well they have since increased in price, and are very hard to find. http://cgi.ebay.com/Blackwing-602-SIX-DOZEN-Pencils-Original-Vintage-CASE_W0QQitemZ300107581293QQihZ020QQcategoryZ1526QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

I don't know if you're like me, but I've had the Undertow name now since the beginning of Socom1. Actually, for about 7 days I was Dirge113 until I realized that I didn't dig the numbers in the name (and the original had already been taken). So, I've been Undertow for a good four years now. I love my name. The time spent with it should show that. Some of you may feel the same with your long-held names as well........like me, sometimes yuo think how it would be to just have a new name.......but WHAT would that name be? SO.....for conversation and curiosity's sake, I thought if any of you went through that too, you could spill it here. Not names that you've had in the past or 2nd or 3rd names you have.....I'm just talking about those who've had a LONG time identity but sometimes secretly crave the feeling of a new name altogether. If I were to choose a new name TODAY, I think I would go with DIRGE. It means a song for the dead. I always thought that term was cool when I learned what it had meant a long-ass time ago. But for now, I'm just plain ol' Undertow.

This is how Army policy all begins... Start with a cage containing five apes. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the Banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result - all the apes are sprayed with cold water. Continue until, when another ape tries to climb the stairs, the other apes try to prevent it. Now, turn off the cold water. Now, remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original ape with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape. After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? "Because that's the way it's always been around here." That's how Army policy begins...
