I have my father's slide rule, very high-end, which he got as a present from his father. I love it. It has my father's handwritten name, in schoolboy block letters. Charming. I have searched high and low for the instruction manual so I can figure out how to use it beyond basic multiplication.

(It also has MY name in childish block letters, because I was young when he gave it to me.)

Punch line (you supply the joke, Taylor);

I had a birthday recently, and Mum surprised me not only with a visit from down south, but with my late father's two fountain pens (I'm pretty sure he got them from his parents). They're not anything special; just a Parker 17 and a Parker VP. It's their emotional value that's through the roof though. I was just the day before about to click BUY on a couple of Lamy Safari pens, intended for use in a diary (I've bought the extra-large, buff-coloured Cahiers, Taylor. I'm rather inordinately enamoured with them in a way that might not be proper ). So, using Dad's pens to write in my diary (I'm thinking of addressing him in each entry, which will help give me focus, and feels apt)...I love it.

Cheers,
Marc

bou!faction

The plosive detonation of one's head (recognised by the distinctly French-sounding "bou!" noise of deflation) that occurs upon receipt of an overloading sensory input of the "cute" variety.

ugy

Design of such an anachronistic, unconventional, erratic or démodé variety that it promotes an immediate response of apparently universal and vitriolic condemnation, almost as immediately contradicted by equal vitriol and strong defence from purchasers numbered by the product's apparent market success.

It is meant as a defusing of the purported "argument".

Thus, the Kindle is ugy...and I want (a fully-supported) one.
