Anabolic steroids for all then[even the lady pipers]?

They build muscle strength so you can squeeze the hell out of high G rolls and still blow the foghorn bass drones…


…and there’s the added benefit of enhanced secondary hair growth [the curly body stuff] which can be used for adjustment of said bass drone.


In fact, you could probably sell it in little bags on e-bay or the NPU site…different calibes for diffent drone pitches. 10 to a bag. Non-refundable.
