put your nose in the air, say it with me: maw blaw

i just got back from the papery where we had a training session on the new line of pens we are carrying: montblanc (pronounced in a very lazy french accent 'maw blaw'). it was actually kind of fun to learn all about luxury fine writing instruments (the proper language to say fancy shmancy expensive pens). i am full of little tidbits about the company if you are interested. for instance, montblanc is the highest mountain (at 4810 meters) in the alps that border the countries of france, germany, and switzerland. montblanc is itself in switzerland. the company changed its name to montblanc in 1906 while the three owners were looking at the mountain. i could go on and on but i won't because i know i'm being really nerdy about this and nobody really cares. but, come to the papery if you want me to show you my fine new sales techniques regarding the montblanc line.
