Title: Ok, I give up. Who is Jim Scott Orrick?
Post by: JW_Halverson on January 23, 2014, 09:18:43 pm
His article in the recent P.A. is some fantastic writing!  Why have I never seen anything else he has written? Does he post here?  And does anyone know how I can get a hold of the Alpaca Woman, too?

Now that's funny. Why do we wear things that our wives hate? I do the same thing and I make darn sure she notices.

Send a note to Ed.  I'm sure Ed knows... but he doesn't check the forum very often... so he won't see this post.   :)

     I just know him from the commercials. ;) ::)  Hmmm, maybe that was his Dad. ::) ;D ;D ;D

  Is there no way to contact the editors, besides the forum?  How about trying to contact Tony Kinton?  There needs to be a link to reach the editors, for things such as this.  Tell them you are interested in a new vacuum.  ;) ::)  Tony Kinton is the hunting editor, so he should know who Mr. Orrick is.  Or at least how get coupons for a vacuum. ;D ;D ;D  Ok, I'll stop flailing the vacuum joke.  But Primitive Archer is a bit difficult to contact, to get information, or help.  They do need to have a site to go to, where you can ask these questions.  Maybe there is, if so,I don't know where it is though.  Of course there are a lot things I don't know.

I googled his name and came up with a college prof/preacher/ book author on poetry, but the pic looked like an older guy

James Parker made a felted hat from dog fur. He had it at the Classic a few years ago.
 I read that story tonight. Pretty funny. I saw he solved the floppy brim with a hat pin. Bone would look nicer.  ;)

JW, I just opened the new issue and went straight to the Hat artical you mentioned.  I've had a hat like that for years. Used to have a girl that was into textiles. She even made me a tuk(?), french fur traders hat) from goat hair from the farm I worked on and from my dog.  She made these felt hats too. They are knit alpaca and are as big as a lamp shade when first knit and reminded me of Mush Mouth's hat from Fat Albert, then they are felted in the sink and shrink up to a size to fit.  I wear mine all the time in the cold. I just flip the brim on mine and it stays up, no pin or anything.  I have a few pics to post, and the day off tomorrow so I'll try to post a pic of the two hats she made me.  I could probably get you one if your really interested.  I'll do my best to post pix tomorrow morn.

Have a gooder, dpg

Here's a pic of my alpaca wool hat.  These babies may look a little old ladyish, but they are warm and stay pretty dry too.  If you are too concerned about what you look like, you may not want to wear on of these.  JSO was not kidding when he said you get funny looks. I wore mine to town today. Couldn't find my goat/dog hair tuk, but that's not what this thread is a bout is it.  Here ya go, dp

The word you are looking for is tocque, pronounced "tOOk", rhymes with ook.

Man, you are saucy on this thread.  I was tryin to do you a favor, thought you might want one of them there old lady hats. We have a couple of knitting stores here in Bton that sell patterns, wool, knitting needles and hats. I'm pretty close w/ the owner of one of them and my ex is still a friend too; who lives in Stratford, ON. Thought if you wanted one I could help ya out.  If you're gonna jab at me with your sharp wit....well...I'll probably still help ya out.  ::) That's how I roll w/ folks I like.

Have a gooder, dpgratz

I come from North Dakota originally...supposed to be a Canadian Province, but got kicked out for bad weather and a penchant for eating lutefisk, I guess.  I have froze my head enough times to have no care about style in headware as long as it is WARM!

You can't insult, me Leroy.   >:D

I hope this guy has more articles in the magazine, he writes well and his sense of humor leaves me wanting more. 

I just kinda thought maybe he was one of us on the forum and I could smoke him out with this thread.
