A pen that has a rainbow cord connected to a plastic baseball on top of a rainbow slinky (with white plastic feet?)—all of which screws off. It further connects to the barrel of the pen which is filled with glittery bubble juice and a bubble wand and ends with a rounded white plastic cap. It has a printed slogan for the sales department, “2001 in 2001,” because there was a push for them to get 2001 new clients that year.

In 2001, I worked for an internet company that specialized in making websites for local television stations. The company gifted all employees a pen of such hideousness and poor taste that it single-handedly divided space and time. Here is that pen. #hideous #poortaste #proofweareinhell
