What's more, you can call it an iBlanket and charge ten times as
much. |
|
| |
Blatant and unethical exploitation of the stupid and credulous for
financial gain [+]. |
|
| |
Put the zip in the middle, then you'll be able to make it either longer at the top (if your chin is cold) or longer at the bottom (for your feet). You'll also be able to iterate, to make a blanket 2, 3 or 4 times longer, after which it can be unzipped to provide full-length blankets for friends. |

Excellent, yes, very much so. But can this remarkable
technology be brought to bear in the no less lucrative realm
of the slanket? |
|
| |
There speaks a man who has obviously never tried a pot noodle. |

Not a problem you siblings will ever be troubled with, [MB] ... |

//That's pretty much the ultimate in not nice.// You will be sewn into yours then lowered into a tank of week old luke warm porridge. This may cause you to reconsider what the ultimate in "not nice" means. |
|
| |
//Put the zip in the middle// You're describing the Double Width Blanket Variation. This is where you can make your blanket twice as wide by unzipping the left half then adding it to the right hand side. It's really handy for when you have a guest staying over and want to share a bed, but not hog the entire blanket. |
|
| |
Could you put zips everywhere and make it potentially
infinite? |
|
| |
Why not follow the idea to its logical conclusion, which would be
a Sierpinski blanket made entirely of empty space joined by huge
numbers of microscopic zips ? |
|
| |
//Not a problem your siblings will ever be troubled with, [MB]// |
|
| |
Au contraire, [8th]. Sturton has a huge number of friends, and the receipts to prove it. |
|
| |
//follow the idea to its logical conclusion// Last time I followed an idea I ended up stumbling around in an empty swimming pool in the dark, wearing a coat covered in sink plugs. |
|
| |
We wondered what the noise was ... so, did you actually catch any chinchillas ? |
|
| |
Aren't Sturton's friends usually deflated when not in use? |
|
| |
I will not stand by and watch you drag Sturton's name through the mud. That is my job. |
|
| |
Incidentally, those of you looking for imaginative Christmas presents might like to consider Sturton's latest book, "The Cleaning Cupboard Cocktail Compendium". He's hoping that sales will be better than those of his "Voles of Madagascar - Volume 7". |
|
| |
Understandable. Volume VI was excellent, but didn't leave much room for a sequel. My autographed copy holds a place of honor on the shelf. |
|
| |
Sturton will be pleased to know that, thank you. I shall be sure to tell him next time he's conscious. |
|
| |
What?...
It seemed relevant. |
|
| |
But re. the link, Only a Native American would spell "sew" wrongly. |
|
| |
I want to go on record as saying that I like this idea but, like Mr. Tindale, I dislike inner zippers and buttons so if the folds could be on the inside for the version you send me for my birthday on the 9th (hint hint) that'd be great. |
|
| |
//Only a Native American would spell "sew" wrongly//
Maybe this is from where "pigs in a blanket" originated? |
|
| |
flocking pompom's? Wool of course, born in NZ. |
