: : Not goatskin, not lambskin, not horsehide, nor cowhide. The best material to make a real Indy jacket out of is....gram1's butt. No kidding and here's why:

: : 1. It's totally hairless.

: : 2. It's so pale white as to be almost devoid of all color. Think how well it will take dye.

: : 3. There's plenty of material to make at least a dozen size 48 or smaller jackets, so Patterson can get in on it.

: : 4. It's already been treated with plenty of Pecards (don't ask).

: : And finally,

: : 5. The gussets are already there!

: : Flgiht Suits my...eye. I'm going for a gram-one hiny jacket!

      • Are you calling gram-one a...no, I didn't think so. 'Sides, it's the Sharpei "look" only. Real gram-one backside hide. (nm) Cueball 19:02:51 9/20/2000 (9)
        • Oh, I see - it's pho-Sharpei. "No actual sharpei were harmed in the makig of this film (though a few did not make it out of the studio commisary on "Mystery Meat Night") - Ok now I've bottomed-out... (nm) Patterson 19:10:00 9/20/2000 (8)
