The name of this game is restocked permanent marker. One day I was emptying my sister's trash can. In her can I found a permeant marker that had ran dry. I had an idea. I pried the marker open on one end with pliers, and then I (carefully, slowly and preferably over a sink if you try yourself) poured ink down into the tube of felt inside. Later I wrote down my "to do" list on a piece of paper. Soon after I had began using the marker, droplets began forming on the edges of the tip, and slowly but surly sliding down to the end. Suddenly I had quite an overabundance of ink. So to use all this up, I began doodling. Two of the things I doodled were lilies. They looked quite nice, so I decided to draw some nice big flowers to post on my blog. The restocked marker has the annoying attribute that that droplet of ink I mentioned earlier, can settle on the tip of the tip two thirds of the way through a line you would rather not ruin. You can see this in the big blobs of ink that don't look like they should be there, in the drawing on the right. As a hole I think that the restocked marker is rather unhelpfully unreliable in comparison to just buying a new marker. But it's spasms of extreme inkiness
are helpful if you are very mindful of when you will dish a teaspoon of ink instead of a gray smudge. You could probably get the same effect if you used a paint brush.
