Finally, a Tinsky

[alaskanpiper]

alaska', if I may be medically picky, schizophrenia doesn't have anything to do with multiple or dual personality, which is what would make the joke work. Schizophrenia is fragmented thoughts and visual and auditory hallucinations, and other symptoms, but no multiple personalities, not even two. The public has picked up this wrong usage until it is common. It's kind of too bad because the folks who suffer from schizophrenia have enough misunderstanding and stigma on them already. Just thought I'd try to do my part to correct this. Lay people can fudge this, but I want to seek malpractice lawyers when I hear science and medical people misspeak in this way. Grrrr.

Hey Tom,

Yeah, I'm well aware (I have a Master's Degree in Psychology). Unfortunately, when you do use the correct terminology, which is actually now Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), the vast majority of the public doesn't "get" the joke, because they don't know what it is.

Your points are valid though, the difference between the two is often not well identified and vastly misunderstood (as are the individuals that live with these disorders (FYI, we don't use the term "suffer from" anymore, as it can at times be viewed as offensive by those living with such disorders, the phrase "living with 'insert disorder' has become commonplace in the field).

Although I will say, for the sake of argument, that in making this point you assumed that the "each other" was an alternate personality, whereas it could be referring to an entirely separate visual hallucination. Just saying

Please, dear god! Shut up, you are letting the squirrels out of the shadows again!!!

I've always thought I should have a Tinsky too. Thanks for sharing the picture. Please get one of your pipe when it arrives and share it with us. Enjoy your new pipe.

I love my Tinsky. It has a long story to it, but for this post, all anyone needs to know is that I love it and smoke the hell out of it.

That is obviously Molte Dolce in the pipe, as the lady behind is giving you the come hither look

Does anyone else do a coral finish quite like Mark does? In my mind it's a Tinsky thing, but I'll admit I don't really know very many pipes/carvers

Some of the Ser Jacopo stuff and the older Castello Sea Rock's look kind of similar. More so the Ser Jacs.

I have a large Coral finish Tinsky, smokes fine.

OR she's thinking "Oh for Pete's sake, why won't he go smoke that damn pipe someplace else?! He's scaring away all of the customers!"

Very nice acquisition!!!

Well here she is. I knew it was going to look good, but I’m pretty much floored by the outcome. Can’t wait to receive and enjoy it! (This is the pic from Mark before shipping)

Its hard to beat a Tinsky, my first artisan pipe.

Same! I’ll try not to abuse it, but I’m betting it’ll be hard to smoke anything else for quite some time

I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Side note: Mark worked his fingers to the bone on this piece. So much so that his DNA is forever embedded in the pipe. No really, he let me know that a tool slipped while he was making it and he sustained some minor damage to his hand. Nothing serious, but never the less, the pipe has full Tinsky mojo ?

That's strange, my dog just wispered the same thing in my ear...
