Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Woolworths? That cease to exist in the U.S. forty or fifty years ago. You folks insist on living in that south Pacific island paradise so you have to accept the cost of all that luxury. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Choreboy was the filter choice of crackheads in the 90’s. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I’ll explain, crackheads stuff Choreboy in a metal or glass pipe to stop the crack from getting sucked up the pipe when they inhaled. The favorite pipe was to snap off a car antenna and stuff Choreboy in one end and wala crack pipe. If you saw Choreboy in a car during a traffic stop you had a good chance you had stopped a crackhead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw Choreboy in a car during a traffic stop you had a good chance you had stopped a crackhead. I looked for copper Chore Boy at our local Ace Hardware store. Couldn't find it. Ask The Helpful Hardware Man and he said they keep it under the counter. Totally puzzled, I asked why. He explained that crack heads steal it and tire air presure gauges to make pipes. He went on to explain meth lab guys come in and a specific list of items. P.S. While I have used Chore Boy to clean crusty bores, I mainly use it to take rust and crap off of blued metal. Much safer than steel wool. Edited October 19 by Warden Callaway 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
