    Kevin out.
    Speaking of NC-17, how do I put this, I've always though that a Bull's... pouch (for want of a better word) would make a good coin purse. I'm too squeemish or what have you to whip one out of my sporran to pay for my coffee but others may.

    Edit: Oh dear God in finding a link I found that they come in kangeroo also

    The link for the bull didn't work, but I did like the kangaroo one's. If I hadn't already spent my pay check I'd get those

    Kind of puts me in mind of the stories about ol' Bonaparte

    Grant, do you want that with hair-on or smooth?

    I, too, was anxious about reactions, but quickly realized very few people notice (or their minds don't roll down the same gutter )

    Perhaps that's where I got the idea . Makes me cringe just thinking having something like that in my wallet. As for the kangeroo that "donated those four sacs I say "Four? Why hop, just walk and walk proud!"

    kangaroo Scro*****er.. pouches

    Yeah... us Aussies have been turning kangaroo 'pouches' into purses for ages! I gave three of them as Christmas presents just last year to my male in-laws (their facial expressions were excellent!). But a kangaroo scro...er...'pouch' is only big enough as a coin purse - it'd never be big enough for a sporran. And a proper pouch (as in the pouch that their young is carried around in) probably wouldn't work either. You'd lose the elasticity that makes the pouch functional during the tanning process (and that's providing you skinned it in such a way as to keep the pouch intact).

    cheers

    A friend of mine from Mebourne has one. They are actually nice, soft little bags, and certainly a great ice breaker at gatherings.

    Cheers

    Well I wouldn't use my own to crush ice! Though my friends do call me "Iron Balls" .
