625. What a marvelous combination!

A man at a local café was kind enough to humor me by allowing me to take this picture. Not only is he doing his crossword with a pen, not only is he doing his crossword with a Sharpie... he is doing it with a green Sharpie.

Smart and eccentric!

I asked him that, and he said he always uses a Sharpie. I figured I'd let it rest with that.

Wow. I am in awe of him. I love doing it in pen, but end up trying to make my E's look like C's or R's and then I get all confused.

It just looks neater in ink.

What's a 7-letter word for bad idea?

The fine-tip Sharpie is thin enough to tear the newspaper, but inky enough to seep right through the page.

So sure, he might finish the crossword, but it'll be a giant holey, green blur.

Sounds like a certain robot needs some love.
