Pre show Butt

No one believes me that he said this and I can not for the life of me remeber why he said they did it!! I have searched on-line to no avail.. so I turn to you guys. I think it may be for oxygen carrying, to get the vascularization to show more. Any one know?

Incidently for all thouse intrested thats why smokers are such grouches when they don't get a cig. There body has reacted to the nicotine and makes there natural state more stressed so when they smoke it levels out to be the same as anyone else. I always find it ironic thaty smokers say it relaxes them, yet they are only that stressed because they smoke!

But if you never smoke it would give you a speed-like high. I can't really imagine that being helpful either before going on stage.. BBfit1, where are you?
