Montréal Canadiens “Mink” Blanket: Any Furriers Out There?
My lovely ex Tree (better known as Teresa) dropped in a few days ago for a visit. She gave me a fantastic gift; a Montreal Canadiens blanket that is supposedly made out of mink. This thing is huge & beautiful!
I showed it to the boys during our poker game. No one could really say whether or not it was real mink but everyone agreed it was a lovely blanket. A couple of guys suggested I take it to a furrier to find out if it is real. The Dickhead mentioned he had 2 uncles that were furriers but they were "no longer with us". Thanks Dickhead, that really helps me out!
Anyway (and no disrespect to those furriers in the sky), if anyone has any contacts that can help on this one, please let me know. Regardless, my blanket will have a place of honor in my apartment. Next time I go to a Toronto/Montréal or Buffalo/Montréal hockey game I’ll have to bring it with me to wave every time my boys score a goal!
What do you mean, SUPPOSEDLY??? That’s what the package says on it! Hey - get it checked out and if it is not - you can sue them for false advertising! I get half.

Yes, you would think that the package says it all. But the label on the blanket doesn’t mention mink at all. Just a lot of synthetic materials. I will check it out though. If I see any money from this, I’ll think of you-from Tahiti.

Was going to say if that blanket, as lovely as it is, is mink, I would kiss Tony’s butt on Main Street. However the thought of that is so horrendous I won’t go there. However if that blanket is mink I’ll give you both ten bucks, and I don’t mean like 2% mink. Whether mink or not, it is beautiful and was a great gift!
