This website is the creative love child of Brent and Stephanie. The husband and wife duo that have combined their respective talents of greed and free time to create a forum with which to satisfy both their appetites. Hence the monaker "pens and needles", which describes the dual medium with which the authors delve into, as well as the strange numbing sensation one tends to feel after restricting circulation to one of their limbs. The purpose of the former: obvious; the reason for the latter: convenience, because it just sounds neat.
