Is this real?

We know realize how many of you think like we do (and yes, we are a little scared of this fact). Many of the responses to this question involved "smacking" and heavy objects. But here are the best responses we received:


Winners

  • "We don't do fake" - Bryan Dunn. The one that most accurately reflected what Eeldrytch is about.
  • "Do goldfish shit in the Sahara?" - Josh Kirn. For when we are feeling a little silly.

A decorated, Sealegaire Pouch is going to each. Congratulations!


Honorable Mentions

  • "No, we bought it at Wal-Mart to sell it to you" - Bethany Coslar
  • "No, that's a clever imitation of a real reproduction of an original" - John Wohlers
  • "Unfortunately no, I lost the original in the battle of Sutton Hoo" - Bryan Dunn

These lucky people will be getting a headband.


Good Guesses

  • Keep track of people that ask and give the 100th a pouch that says "I was the one hundredth person to ask the leather guys 'is this real?' and all I got as this REAL leather pouch"
  • Have sign that says "REAL leather items, made form REAL cow skin. Smell it and be amazed at REALNESS of it. Keeping it REAL, Eeldrytch Armouree, crafters of REAL leather armour and miscellany since 1990. No chickens were harmed in the making of this sign
  • "Its about as real as the naked pics I've got of your sister and my dog"
  • "Its about as real as anything they ever made back in the day, but if your still not convinced my friend tell you what I'm gonna do, how about you put one of these on and lets say I hit you with oohhhhhhh this nice thick hickory staff and if you get hurt you don't have to buy anything"
  • "No. They aren't real. They are an hallucination caused by doing too much acid in the sixties. Welcome to your flashback"
  • "Well, I'll just hit you with it, and we'll find out, won't we?"
  • "Nope"
  • "Aye"
  • "Hmmm… yes "
  • "Nay! Surely 'tis an apparition of yonder imagination"
  • "Everything around you is as real as you want it to be"
  • "Well, it's *certainly* not fake! Go ahead, touch it. I can tell you want to, and to be honest... I'd kinda like to watch"
  • "I'll give you three guesses and because I'm a nice person, I'll even give you a hint. The answer is not 'no'"
  • "I don't know, let's find out," and take a large example of your leatherwork and beat the questioner over the head with it to see if it is in fact real
  • "No, that is an illusion brought to you by the makers of Space, and Time"
  • "Good sir, are not all things real? "
  • "Tell me of something that is not, and I shall be forever in your debt."
  • "No - What you are seeing is a figment of your imagination, so let your imagination guide you and feel free to touch, try on or even taste what you see here"
  • "As real as the Saracen blood on my sword"
  • "Are YOU real?"
  • "What do you think"
