Gnu,

Congratulations! You have just completed the "do what the Internet tells you to even to your own discomfort maze."

I can see why you would have to ask the question though. I have it on good authority that Spaw buys his pencils pre-lubricated. Of course in his childbearing years he just put condoms on them. I don't want to go into what that implies about the girl who dated him. But it does speak to the attractiveness of a well-lubricated pencil.
