| 921.3 | "Serious Technical Stuff" | BOSHOG::VARLEY | | Wed Nov 30 1988 16:11 | 15 |
| I might as well add some fuel to this technical micro-fire. In
the Army, I quickly became a "plug" man,i.e. Apple, Day's Work,
Brown Mule, Bloodhound, Black Maria, and finally the ultimate -
Bull of the Woods. That stuff will turn you more chartreuse than
my favorite "Little N".
Now I kinda go with green Skoal Bandits (what else?), or green
Skoal Long Cut, although Kodiak is o.k. once in a while. Don't like
Hawken or Silver Creek either. I get some great bags of "lip dope"
called Renegades from a friend of mine who is a Judge in Ohio. I
got him started on a golf trip to Ireland, and now he dips on the
bench. By the way, any of this stuff is much (!!) cheaper in NH
than Taxachusetts, so when "Lavender Jack" and I go Bassin', I pick
up 10 tins or so. Ole Jack don't dip (but then "Charlie don't surf").

| Skoal Bandits?
How can you get anything through em? All the micro mesh cheese
cloth clogs up. Heck my little sister chews skoal bandits.
Regular skoal will do in a pinch :-)

I didn't know that people still did this stuff.
Back in the late 60's early 70's I started diping
copenhagen, back when it said "COPENHAGEN" on the lid
and a freshness date stamped on the bottom.
Well I went through several girl friends and one wife
over COPENHAGEN!
They said that they realy loved me but they could not
stand to kiss a man who had that *@#% in his mouth.
Well I could not understand why people could be so shallow.
I could drink beer with it in with no problem, what gives?!
About 1980 I went to the store to get some and they were closing
and the woman locked the door in my face and laughed, I had not
had a dip for about an hour and this realy made me mad because
I knew I couldn't get any till the morning and in anger I kicked
the door to get attention and got fliped off so I kicked the door
one last time! This kick broke the glass and set the alarm off!
The folks in the store ran to the back and I ran to my truck and
got out or there.
That night I decided that the withdraw was so bad that I was going
to quit.
I did quit till I got close to another drug store, and I bought
a tube of them so I would never run out again!
Or have to go back to my local drug store.
The first mouth ulser I got was in the front of my mouth so I started
puting it on the side untill it got bad there or untill the front
healed.
At this point I looked in the mirror and decided to put it down
for good.
I do miss it I will not lie, I used to love it but don't let anybody
GLAMORIZE it for you if you are thinking about it.
It is as addicting as cigarettes and is two times as powerful.
Anyway why would you put anything in your mouth that tastes so
bad that a dog would lick it's but to get the taste out of his mouth!

| 921.10 | thanks for the anecdote Danny | ERLANG::LEVESQUE | I fish, therefore I am... | Fri Dec 02 1988 15:15 | 10 |
| Thanks Danny for that less than glamorous perpsective. It's good
to see that you are trying to prevent someone else from running
into problems with this dangerous substance. People have died as
a result of the oral cancer gotten from having chaw all of the time.
Personally, I think it is your right to choose whether you wish
to chew; but it should be an informed decision (hopefully).
I'd hate to see someone bite off a little more than they could,
um- er chew. :-)
