Re: Guide to local drug dealers
That goes back to the late 80's, IMO, and was quite a fad among punks to toss their Doc Martins over power lines like that to see if they could make them hang there. If it became a drug reference later, that is something I never knew about. I knew several skate punks in Dallas who would do this on a regular basis; that was back in my salad days, of course. Never understood it myself, except that it was considered a feat to be able to make the shoes hang on the first throw.

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
I live in an area of my city called 'Meadowvale', and the nearby highschool is a public one, which seems to be pretty well infested with drug dealers and I've never seen any shoes hanging on a power line... too bad at that, would make for a cool photo =]

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
Hmm... I guess this means the local primary (elementary for you US folks) school is a drug place then. There's a pair hanging right outside them - been there for donkey's years.

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
Woohoo! My place has no drug dealers.
Then again, drug dealers should be rich enough to own a handphone no? |

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
That's interesting with the lyrics, Vask!! Maybe the theory has legs after all. Not sure what the mobile phone argument is though - how would that help people who aren't already in the know? Or do even drug dealers use telemarketing?

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
It doesn't. Darwin takes care of dealers who risk selling to people they can't vouch for. In one way or another.

Re: Guide to local drug dealers
Snopes indicates that there doesn't seem to be much support for them indicating drug dealers or anything else, although there was a military tradition for tossing your boots.
Damn. And here I was thinking I could get the police to patrol my area more often by investing in a cheap pair of sneakers...
