I can't see the name Ricardo Montalban without thinking of a Kidd Chris phone call (made famous by airplay on Howard Stern) to George Takai by a phony Ricardo. Trying to explain it wouldn't do it justice, but it is rather funny.

And I shall always think of "rich, Corinthian leather."

[Scott Reppert]

..."rich, Corinthian leather."

Casket lining, perhaps?

[Bob Campbell]

I drip tears on my corinthian leather and hope that the Genesis machine may bring him back.

"From the depths of hell, I spit at thee".

..."rich, Corinthian leather."

Casket lining, perhaps?

I was thinking of a crystal pentastar casket ornament ala the early 1980s Lebaron.

[cgarison]

Corinthian leather is a marketing term that does not actually indicate any particular type of leather. Montalbán confirmed this during an interview with David Letterman[when?], admitting that Corinthian leather means "nothing." According to one reference[who?], Chrysler's "Corinthian" leather was mass produced in a plant in Newark, New Jersey.

New Jersey Leather just cuts the value that much more.

Tattoo never gets any love.

In the late-70s Henry Winkler movie The One And Only, Tattoo plays a midget wrestler who comes onto just about every woman he sees, including a very prim-and-proper Polly Holiday! He even mock-humps her! (Or was that the couch she was sitting on?)
