Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 25, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 25, 2008 Those things scare the ..... outta me. It reminds me of way back in the day, I knew a guy that went out on weekends and collected horse droppings, cleaned em all up nicely, coated them in some sort of substance and made birds outta them. He sold them at flee markets, called them "The Alberta Turd Bird", he was a wierd sort of guy now that I remember.

SCOUTER Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 You have to feel bad for the bum rap that some animals get just for their looks... A humming bird, ladybug and butterfly have a much easier time then the Frog, Spider or Opossum. Does anyone feel bad for the "Slug"? Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 26, 2008 Moderator Report Posted March 26, 2008 Roo, That hide looks familiar. I am thinking that it looks a lot like the "frogs" I buy from Jerry Van Amburg. Pretty cheap and makes dandy little inlays. Shameless plug for Jerry. I have seen him pass out free frogskins to little kids at leather shows. You know they were there with their folks, and weren't going home with anything but a case of boredom. Jerry gave them each a frog, and they had something to talk about at recess on Monday. Good guy. Scouter, I enjoy slugs. I am a slug salter from way back, and passed on the tradition to my son at a tender age. Twenty years later we still enjoy a good salting together. If I dig back in my music archives I am sure I can come up with Too Slim's (of Riders in the Sky) version of the Salting of the Slug.

HorsehairBraider Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I'm wondering when someone will start tanning prairie dog hides.... wretched things get hit by cars along the highway all year long. It seems such a waste of good hide! Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.
