Does This Look Like The Face Of A Man Arrested For Huffing 16 Cans Of Air Duster Inside A Kmart?

Huff Po – He told police he’d been “huffin.'” Robert Pry faces commercial burglary, theft, and other charges stemming from analleged inhalants binge. Pry was discovered passed out in the storage room of a Jonesboro, Ark., Kmart on the morning of Sept. 1. The 21-year-old was found “covered in vomit and urine” with 16 empty cans of air duster nearby. When police arrived at the scene, Pry reportedly told officers that he’d hid out in the store until it closed, then found the air duster and “huffed all night long.” As Gawker pointed out, the 16-can binge was preceded by a self-financed inhalants romp at Walmart. Police found several more empty cans of duster in a truck that Pry said he’d borrowed from a friend. The man told police he’d spent $100 on duster at Walmart, and staged the alleged burglary at Kmart after he’d ran out. According to the police, Pry said he was “addicted to huffing.” No kidding. Considering that inhalant abuse has proved lethal before, the sheer amount that Pry consumed means that he’s lucky to be alive.

I feel like I completely missed the boat on huffing. Do normal people out there really huff? I feel you gotta be something real special to be down with huffing. You know what I mean? Like everyone grows up drinking booze and smoking a little weed. Jumping into the world of huffing is just an extra step that not many people take. I’m not talking about sniffing Sharpies or rubber cement glue. And I’m not talkin about Reddi Whip whippits either. I’m talking about straight up toxic fumes to the dome. Straight up gasoline or paint thiner in a brown bag. Spray paint in your tube sock Charlie Kelly style. Or in this case 16 cans of keyboard air duster right into your mouth. To me, legitimate huffing like this is reserved strictly for white trash hillbillies. In the backwoods of Pennsylvania or West Virginia or anywhere below the Mason Dixon line really. Whether you’re in the sticks behind your trailer or waking up in a Kmart covered in piss and vomit, you are a first class hick if you huff for real.
