Wild. I remember seeing Chinese guys with long pinky nails back in high school. We had a large population of Chinese people at Churchill that were very insular and didn't interact with the rest of us. I didn't think they were coke heads, but it did seem odd to me. Neat to have an explanation after all these years.
