What's the worst that could happen...
...if I don't turn my jacket inside out before sticking it in the dryer? I've had my Wested Goat for over a year, and I love it to death, but sometimes it seems a little stiff. I've been meaning to take a trip down to the dryer here at school, but the lining of my jacket has some small holes I've patched up, and I'm afraid that turning my jacket inside out before drying it will aggrivate 'em. Any advice?
Thanks,
RJ

You too? i thought I was the only one who had a black hole vortex leading to a parallel dimension in between my drawer and my washing machine. Its strange, somewhere in between, things just vanish....

I'd still like to know how long you guys put your jackets in the dryer for?

I can't imagine putting a jacket in the dryer for "several days". For me, living in the city, that would be a whole bunch of quarters.I put my goat in the dryer for several days and the only thing that happened was it got softer.
Always zip up your jacket and put it in a pillow case (tie the end shut)
before putting it in the dryer. Oh, and yes TAKE THE JACKET OFF!
(still got a scar from that mistake )
I put mine in for 4 hours at a time on two separate occasions, pecards
jell applied before hand. The result was a goat jacket that was softer
and draped much better. I haven't felt the need to do any more to it
since.

One more thing to keep in mind when debating to use or NOT to use a pillowcase. If you normally use dryer sheets in your dryer, if you DON'T use a pillowcase, you may get the white powder embedded into your jacket, especially if you apply Pecards (regardless of standard or jell), and believe me, it's tough to get off. I know, I made that mistake with a Wings jacket a few years back, though I eventually got the powder off. Our dryer hadn't cooled off from a load my wife had just completed, so the Pecards was slightly liquified, and the powder stuck real well.....so make sure you're using a COLD dryer set on the 'air dry only' setting.

Swindiana, I have never seen a Big Kahuna Burger. I think it is just a brand name made up for the movie. Has anyone else ever run across one? Ummm...I am a fan of the movie, sounds like an entrepreneurial take on an idea originally conceived by Ray Kroc. Worked out okay for him as I recall. I wonder if the bank would loan me any money? Naw...probably not

I'm pretty sure the Big Kahuna Burger in Pulp Fiction was supposed to imply that it was a burger joint, or chain, not an actual burger name.
Lot's of theme type resteraunts have adopted the name for some of their burgers in honor of the movie. We have place called Hollywood Bistro here in Philly, and they have a lot of cool names for burgers, including a Steven Spielburger. I kid you not.
