so… um… what is the Hindus’ definition of “genuine leather”?

How does leather get away without be graded? Big diff between good leather and crap leather

If “genuine leather” is the lowest standard of what can be considered authentic, then that would have the exact same meaning as “real leather”.

Since So. America used to be connected to Africa, probably ancestral monkeys or lemurs, etc., simply walked from one place to another or swung thru plentiful trees back during a warmer climate.

Full-grain cowhide is better. Some fakey leathers are veneers that crack easily.

Now, millions of men and women will be looking at their wallets, purses and belts in a whole new light.

Aha! I had a suspicion about the Norseman feline story all my “Leif”…

What about “rich Corinthian leather”?

Simpler, and to my mind funnier, the word “chocolaty” can be legitimately understood as “contains zero actual chocolate.”

Interesting I’m sure, but we must not disparage “ladies of the night” with that demeaning reference, whether they be a land ho, and mile-high-club air ho, or a sea ho, they deserve the same respect. Furthermore, I don’t think we should.. oh, you mean the sailors notification to the Captain that he’s spotted land. Never mind. ~ Emily Litella

Take care, may revered monkey leader Chee-GAH-KAH “Hey You There Yes You Scratch My Back” Clintrumpidenord be with you, and gesundheit.

That would explain the Perrserker…

In the early 80’s I bought a leather jacket made from lamb. It was on sale half off and still cost $250. Super soft and supple. Still have that jacket although it doesn’t fit anymore.

My feet know the difference between real leather and rEAL leather, when I have problems with sweat, almost an allergic reaction.

I noticed that Silver and Emo… have disappeared again, and the history is gone.

Accidentally migrated to South America.

I wonder how the monkeys dealt with sea sickness.

I would have thought the monkey species would have located there when the Earth was in the Pangia stage…

What country were Vikings from?

“Gnar-fieeeeld!”

Charlie, a feral cat I sort of tamed, could be ferocious. I would have taken him on a raid anytime. He was victorious on many a fight night until the Valkyries guided him to Valhalla . He led a long heroic life (lives). I miss him.

Now that’s an incredible kitty fact – wow!! Thank you so much!

Notwithstanding the persistent cliche, Viking helmets did not have horns on them.

Except maybe the Minnesota Vikings.

Why does the term “Monkey Leather” reverb this morning?

…….There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven at this time, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in first.

The first man in line started telling his story, “Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn’’t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn edge by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating his fingers with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn’t kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and dropped it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am.”

The next man came up and started his story. “St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my exercise bike one day when it jambed up and flipped me off. I sailed over the rail and I thought ‘’Please God spare my life’’ and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I’m here now because the guy pushed his refrigerator on top of me.”

It was now the third guy’s turn to start his story. “Well, Peter, just picture this. I’m hiding butt naked in this married chick’s refrigerator………”

………..Birdman out.

@SteveSilver48. I can see your comment on your profile but not on the site.

Viking raiders spent a lot of time on boats. Were they ship cats, used for vermin control?

Maybe the rafts of debris were from the Great Pacific Garbage Dump?

Somebody needs to teach the Chinese about leather. Been burned twice by shoes and a coat that was supposedly leather. Neither was. I’m just saying
