I apologise if this has already appeared. I mailed the original post last Friday, but it ain't shown up on the Digest yet. As several others things from me have, I suspect gremlins somewhere in cyberspace are to blame, probably something to do with our temperamental server here...

Bloody excellent this stuff!
I particularly like the part about rusty iron being the Uz equivalent of cocaine. I imagine iron-heads have senstive, sore and stained fingers and mouths from this life-threatening vice, which is after all a dangerous poison. I wonder it does to their insides?

Working class trolls chewing on chips of limestone all day long, yeah! (Hey, trollish cigarette packets must look just like the boxes of chalk we had at school! Did you ever pretend a stick of chalk was a fag when you were a kid? Then imagine taking a bite out of it!)
Just like tobacco, there must be deleterious health effects from too many limestone sticks. Would the rock gizzard calcify or something? I wonder if 'Death' brand limesticks (that Zorak Zorani smoke/chew) have a health warning on them?
There's MGF potential aplenty thinking about what troll junkies are like!
