me and my two Scripto P850 0.5mm with #2 lead refills salute you sir. 
i bought a 3-pack in college, i'm not sure what happened to the other one, a blue one (if anyone finds it please send it back). i've since then used the brown one the most, enough that the metal coating has worn off the end cap. i lost it for a while last summer when i had it outside during bean planting time, but found it some weeks later. gladly it still works.
i write by hand so little these days i may have a lifetime supply of leads and mechanical pencils now.
i consider it an omen that last night i was dreaming of using our ancient hand cranked pencil sharpener to get some pencils back into proper shape and discussing with a high school teacher the proper use of such an ancient device (it has a holder with springs in it so you can hold it and hand crank it and you don't have to keep holding the pencil while it sharpens) and a bit later during the dream a college prof gave me a strangely shaped plastic item that was shaped like a chuck key for a power drill (but about 1/4 of that size). it was a very strange series of dreams i had. nearly lucid enough that when i wake up i feel exhausted. if i were to write it down it would make an interesting bit of a science fiction story. i'd just re-read Dune so i blame some of this bit on that, and an unfortunate choice of a few food snack items right before going to sleep.

Could have put this on the weather thread. Not really "there" the last few days.

The word "queue" seem ironic.
It's just a "q" followed by a bunch of silent letters waiting in a line.
