seems like a vanity invention, a google search for "blow tube" brings up over 800 hits, the top 20 are not this contraption. Gentgeen 03:59, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Anyway, I doubt it would work. Everyone knows that burning toast is the only way to hide the smell of... er... smoke. Delete, man. Exploding Boy 06:07, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are some uses of it on the Internet, but not enough to warrant inclusion IMHO. Besides, it is POV and I do not feel like "contributing" to such an article. David Remahl 16:30, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge with one of the other druggie articles (bong?). As an abstainer from recreational drug use, these stratagems of drug users, at the peculiar intersection of "cleverly resourceful" (scrounging construction materials from common household items) and "obtusely obvious" (dryer sheets smell like... dryer sheets? Amazingly unexpected!), never cease to entertain this "square". -- orthogonal 18:21, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Actually, it does work. I mean, uh, I wouldn't know, but I heard it works. Anyway, redirect to some other smoking article since this device has at least 3 names; which one you hear probably depends on where you're from. Not worth an article on its own. Delete and redirect.

  • Delete: I don't like how this trips over other possible "blow tube" terms. Don't know if it would work (drugs being the mother of bad invention), but it seems like a lot of work compared to getting a job and moving to one's own place. (Deletion grounds: non-notable, nonsense in the writing (common household object is a shell? for the Little Mermaid, maybe).) Geogre 00:17, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clean up. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 18:08, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: original research (of a kind). Bacchiad 03:34, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
