Speaking of badasses, I propose we officially elevate You's felt-tip pen from Ever 17 to
Memetic Badass status. For those who don't know about it (probably just about everyone):
It's been used to pry the doors of an out-of-order elevator open wide enough for a character to stick his fingers in and do the rest of the job (using, presumably, its tip).
It's been submerged in salt water multiple times over the course of a week.
It's used in a lengthy scene with little purpose other than innuendo. ("So you want me to put the tip of this in that hole of yours?")
After this, it is still perfectly capable of writing at the end of the week and used to illustrate an explanation about the fourth dimension. You just know something is awesome if it has to do with 4D.
Then again, it was made circa 2034, so maybe all pens are like that by then.
