i just saw a dude with an awsome set of silver lips out the front of coles. why dont they go for a skin toned paint so it isnt so obvious? does the silver paint get you higher or is it a cheaper alternative? all the dudes on gertrude st are always covered in silver, i guess its nice and festive around the xmas period.

Dunno.
I prefer glue myself.
i always preferred some petrol stuff that we kept in the craft room for cleaning wax out of saucepans.
the metallic paints are more potent...
He might have just been trying to blow up a car.
One with a shiny exhaust pipe.
I have a mate who has a mate called the 'real neil' and he has a band called 'beach chromers'.
might have been an alien robot trying to blend in with humans
''Beige-ing'' just doesn't have the same ring to it...
LOL
seeing chromers always makes me really depressed, it just seems like the height of desperation.
I once called an ambulance for a dude who fell off a bench while chroming in MCG Park. The cops came instead. Boy was he shitty when they woke him up.
i once answered a classified ad for a BSA motorbike that stated 'lots of chrome' as a feature. what a greaseball!
dressing up as a chromer is always a winner for bad taste costume parties.
adidas tracksuit, filthy runners and dirty white hat from savers/vinnis + silver stage make up around your mouth and on your hands.
add a bag filled with silver make up for extra effect.
voila!
hit of the party!
lolz
chromers make me wanna smoke crack.
i think it really is rock bottom.
Yeah, there is a dude around Flemington who always has a silver beard. He gets that shit all over himself. However, he often opens the train door for people. So at least he still has his manners. Which can't really be said for you liamisnice!
liamsnice- Is that the Maori guy? He's pretty funny. ''Don't inhale paint man!''
''Nah..it's alright.''
I saw one doing it on a tram the other day. Stunk out the whole tram. It was disgusting, really.
You should have said ''HEY! What the living FUCK are you doing?''
their poor brains...
nah, this was a true blue fat aussie. he wasnt asking for money or anything, just hanging out.
poprocks - im the most polite person in melbourne, most of what i say is misunderstood though and yes some people get offended. its not my fault though.
there was a couple of chromers at the tram stop on the corner of johnston and nicholson on sunday arvo, wonder if it was them.
I saw some tonight in the commish flats on Johnston and Nicholson.
Good times.
its a revolution.
or its the modern drug takes response to the global financial crisis.
takers...
damn qantas keyboards.
my mates and i saw this dude with a blue beard riding a push bike with a trailer attached. he stopped us and asked for a dollar in the highest, sqeekiest voice, we just burst out laughing and walked off.
They always seem to have weird bikes or razor scooters
Is chroming more of a Melbourne phenomenon? Except for one very dodgy dude who hung around Newtown for a few months, I haven't really noticed any chromers around Sydney.
I saw a guy in haymarket last year with a face covered in blue paint. like braveheart done with spray cans
an ex's dad was a carpetlayer, and I worked with him one summer.
so me and the ex were on the 86 tram one day, we both smelled it at the same time and turned to each other and went ''can you smell what i smell?''
we turned around and a few seats behind us was this big, bearded biker looking dude huffing out of a massive plastic bag that contained a big square of carpet covered in glue.
all class, that.
My favourite chroming incident is of the Errol Street chromer running down the street crying because he lost his chroming bag.
big in fitzroy.
a guy with silver hands, a silver beard and a can of paint hanging outta his pocket just walked into the bar and asked to use the toilets. i said no and suggested he fucked off. he said he was busting but i wouldnt accept that. he said he was going to punch my head in and then walked out and pissed in the street. what a pig.
Yucks.
Sorry for swearing at you dude.
you should put some vaseline in your beard hair so the paint doesnt stain. like when youre dying your hair.
I would but I've lost all dexterity in my fingers so I can't get the lid off.
fair enough.
There's about 4 regulars who chrome on the 112 tram. I fucken hate those stinky pricks. I had one sucking up paint RIGHT NEXT TO ME on a crowded tram at 8.30am not too long ago, boy was I mad.
Yeah, sorry about that too. It's the fumes, they make me lose all sense of propriety.
i going to make a horror movie but instead of using zombies im going to use chromers. its much more realistic and something that the audience can relate to being frightened of.
treetops have written an awesome song about chroming.
did you say something? or do anything? or do you consider posting about it is sufficient?
i would also like to know if you made mention to the chromer in question, hatts.
does chroming make you angry and violent or does it make you floppy and compliant?
What do you really think you are going to acheive by having a go at a chromer? I doubt they would respond to your complaints and no one bloody backs you up anymore these days.
Bring back connies!
Angry and violent, generally. Chromers have cojones enough to do that shit wherever the fuck they want, which no other drug user does.
'cept for drinkers and smokers ;)
oh, loadie.
inhalants are generally considered to be depressants. basically all the chormers i have seen have been inert mongs. they cant angry or violent cos the crome makes you spastic and uncoordinated
well that's a relief in case hatts wants to yell at them on the tram in the future.
wouldnt mind giving it a sniff...might be the shit
...fast track to swiss cheese brain...
just kidding
There is a dude who hangs around the johnson st/ Nicholson st tram stop, always seems to be rocking some silver paint on face action.
why is it always silver paint? If I was a chromer, i'd go for the whole rainbow effect
I'd need a couple of drinks before I had the balls to say something. These were three or four big, fearless dudes. My 53 kilograms are no match for the likes of them if they decide to take offence.
I swear to krunk these guys are on the 96 every time I get on it. Then the dudes get all staunch when the tram driver asks them to get off. Sorry boss, you've got silver-ass clown lips. Y'all can't front you dreggy ma'fuckaz. Shit just plain ain't gangsta.
