Sir, you aren't a birght enough light to inteligently respond to my comments. Thanks!


That's your pose, not mine.

I'm just a shoemaker. Never claimed to be anything else.

It was over, dead and buried for 4 days. Really unnecessary to take the effort to resurrect.

:fonz: Thank you.

He wasn't even involved in the original disagreement.

I take some consolation, however, in the knowledge that I'm at least bright enough to know how to spell "bright."

I really wonder how long that mystery stash of antique reindeer hides will last. I wager one hide is enough for three or two pairs. Does anyone have a link to the old articles with a mention of hide count?


How would one be able to tell if their pair was made using modern leather or the actual supply from the shipwreck?

The reindeer hide has a different sweeter scent, at least when new. Also Cleverly gives a card documenting the origin.
