Oh yes, and they smell interesting too. **deep inhalation** /swoon/ !thud! [1]
Sharpies come in several sizes, too--from the MAGNUM 44 or some equally absurdly named
sponge-on-a-steel-rod down to the little Sharpie-writers that I have. Again, one must be

[1] This post does not advocate attempting to inhale a permanent marker, just that it's bad.
It's kind of like sniffing those "Hello Kitty" Sanrio erasers back in the late 1970s, except
that those didn't leave black marks on one's nose.
