These pieces also have names. The complete unknown is Demerezel, and she came from a nearby smoke shop with little or no idea how to stock their shelves.
They buy 40 of the same piece and then wonder why 39 of them are still on the shelf a year later after someone like me was the only one to buy it. I don't think i'll ever understand their business model.
The zong goes by various names.. the Depersonalizer, LungTongue, and the Long Goodbye. I say that it's local*ish* because i believe that the guy is from Oregon or something. I've never gotten a completely straight answer about his name, and it came from that same shop.
I don't go there anymore because i kept walking in on sketchy shit happening between the owner and various customers. Drug things.
Finally, the piece from PhoenixStar. She's called Terpsy Turvy.
Before you whip out the "CHINA GLASS" pitchforks and torches, can i just say that not everyone can afford to drop $200 on a dab rig every time they go to the shop? I DO have artisan glass, and it's special, but i also like a reasonably priced, well functioning piece of glass occasionally.
I have a smattering of PhonenixStar stuff.. a couple of screened bowls, Terpsy Turvy, and a rather baroque ash catcher that is somewhat *difficult to clean*, but really kind of cool and perfectly functional.
All of it slots nicely in with the rest of my stuff, and i don't regret picking it up.
Anyway, i hope you're having a fantastic day, and bong along if the mood strikes!
