It is a bit strange - but there's nothing wrong with being 'a bit different' :D

Could it be a case of the hair of the goat that bit you? :beerchug: - if it's it still a functioning bottle that is.

Hmm? I've no idea why but my previous reply isn't showing in new posts and is showing as post #1 in this thread :dunno:

it has a glass beer bottle inside i think. as for customs not a clue it as no meat on it and i dont think leather goods are restricted and its value is very high,

as for a conversation piece i will have to fill it with something differant and pass it around the next camp fire and see what people say.lol

This needs a tall tale to goo with it... something about having to defend yourself from a rabid goat with a Crusader cup...

you could fill with water - im fairly sure taking a swig from it during the day when everyone is entirely sober would deffo attract more odd looks - then you could go into a .......you know how you can squeeze water from various tuba's and roots well the same can be said of a goats leg... speech
