how do you spell it and how many nawgas does it take to make a jacket or something? Can you hunt them nawgas in Ca?

    ...."naugahyde"...commonly found on 1950's vintage kitchen chairs and auto seat covers...not for use in hot weather climates where people wear skimpy clothing...has been known to leave permanent burns on it's victims. Vulgar * sounds can be made when sliding bare legs or uncovered skin on "naugahyde".....Material comes from the African Rubber monkey....takes at least 3 monkey hides to cover one kitchen chair.....

    "Naugahyde" was a failed attempt to make something useful from polymers....similar to what happened with Glocks....(heehee...stir..stir..stir)

    Naugahyde was also used to cover the old "overstuffed -pillow-looking" line of Kustom amplifiers in the 60s. Nothing but an alloy of plastics, often with a sparkly substance mixed in that was particularly objectionable-looking on the amplifiers, since it gave you that SNL-Steve Diamond ambience when you were trying to be a serious rock-n-roller. Your question is a lot like "how many polyesters does it take to make a leisure suit?" Why do you ask, if it matters?

    I bagged a Nauga when I was about 12 years old.That was when I was first allowed to go out in the fields alone to hunt Groundhog.It took 3 shots from my 22 before it fell from the treetop. I WAS SO PROUD. When I returned to camp my father said, they make a pretty good seat cover but they burn your eyes something terrible when you dress them.Never shoot one again or he will tan my Hyde.

    Polymer? Ain't that a Chicago suburb? Hell, if I can find a beat up Sako 30-06 I am going to trade in my "Tupperware."

    Nauga. When you say it like that, it sounds like a new model of car. Chevy Nauga. Chrysler Nauga. Ford Nauga S-10.
