Walrus leather. Except probably not.

That's from a book. Where did you get it?

[tralala.livejournal.com]

I found it in a an old magazine my dad has.

Now the thing is to get it recorded on the internet without destroying it.

I am confused... what does a man eating a miniature walrus have to do with leather?

I'm with you. This ad makes no sense whatsoever.

[nokomarie.livejournal.com]

Walrus hide is notoriously thick.

[kartusch.livejournal.com]

ah but does the same apply to mini-walri?

I am still perplexed by the eating of it. I get feeling trying to say something like "our leather is so supple you could eat it, even if it was a walrus," but its so overwhelmingly odd I am confused.

It's witty. A bad steak is like leather, they sell leather...you haven't eaten British food, have you?

[kartusch.livejournal.com]

Ok that makes sense. Nope, no British food my family is Irish-American. They seem to think all food requires many hours of stewing in liquid to be eaten.

Our family is Irish-American. I can broil lambchops and broil a whole fish and make stew to melt in your mouth. As for my mother, she has the gift of making any cut of meat into a bundle of dry rubber bands God alone knows how. In the 1970's we were host to quite a few dinner guests in this gourmet club that the parents belonged to. It was useful for us as children to learn exactly how to apply Emily Post's ideas on how to set a banquet table. The food was indescribable, but dad's cellars were always very good.
