Shields up.. I just *BOO* slapped Britt on the Gyokuro Pots thread.
We are starting to establish a pattern of Britt parroting the most bullshit vendors

Here's the source. Turns out I have these cups, and I didn't buy the One In The World from this toolbag.

:lol: Even if I had no interest in tea at all, I think I
would still have to read TeaChat for the enormous
boost it has given to my vocabulary. :lol:

Someone should translate this for all the ITD-ers whose first language isn't slang :wink:

Someone already has! I call The Urban Dictionary the anti-aging device. It's increased my S/Q (Sofiztikashun Quotient) by 6 percentage points, and I am laughing at 15% more punch lines.

I could be wrong, but I thought all this time "shields up" was a Star Trek term.

Yes, in fact I almost responded with "Set a course outside of the TeaChat sector, warp 6. Engage."

Here is my intended reply to Geek Girl - I still hate this vendor's guts, but I am going to delete my post. I don't really care about sinking this vendor, but I do not want to do any damage to the relationship between Toru and Hokujo for sharing items and prices I have received "outside the system."
Brandon wrote: Seigan and Deishi, by nature of their craft, do not appear to be creating identical works. Toru makes sure to note under the Hagi section that every piece is going to vary from the photo somewhat.

In the case of Hokujo, he is able to reliably produce some of his most popular products over and over with much precision. I've not seen anyone claim that a Hokujo kyusu is "one in the world."
