CVS?

Seems to be a shop, that is "well known" for having long receipts. Must be a local thing. [zen_tom, Jun 17 2019]

? Is this like CSI Miami? |
|
| |
I think it means "continously variable suspension". |
|
| |
Perhaps it's about the optimal shape for a CV during its
transfer to the circular file? |
|
| |
Could be Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. |
|
| |
If we rule out Cardiovascular System and Crankcase
Ventilation System out-of-hand, another option is Coversed
sine, which is (apparently) the trigonometric function :
cvs(theta)=1-sin(theta)
presumably because writing that instead would make one's
equations pellucid.
Although I must admit that how it relates to origami still
isn't clear. |

| |
[zen_tom]'s link is the appropriate referent |
|

Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, obviously... (hmm, unless it's Chromium-Vanadium Steel, but that might be a difficult medium for origami) |
|
| |
// that might be a difficult medium for origami // |
|
| |
Unless you're one of those diminutive elderly Japanese swordsmiths, who can handle a katana blade that's glowing the colour of moonlight seen through cherry blossom with their bare hands ... |

//(hmm, unless it's Chromium-Vanadium Steel, but that might be a

|
| |
I could really get behind the chromium-vanadium steel sheet-metal
origami concept, requiring the skillful application of press brakes. |
|
| |
"Fold your own DeLorean, in only 200 weekly parts ... first issue includes giant letterbox and installation kit ..." |
|
| |
//Unless you're one of those diminutive elderly Japanese swordsmiths, who can handle a katana blade that's glowing the colour of moonlight seen through cherry blossom with their bare hands// - alas, I am in fact a reasonably tall Japanese swordsmith who can handle a katana blade that's glowing the colour of moonlight seen through cherry blossom with my bare hands |
|
| |
My second zen master also claimed to be able to see through cherry blossom with his bare hands. |
|
| |
In Russia, cherry blossom sees you. |
|
| |
Perhaps we should point out that we are referring to the popular brand of brown shoe polish, not the flowering tree. |

With pattern will origami, and origami, and origami, till the end. |
|
| |
//With pattern will origami, and origami, and origami, till the
end.// There are 3,326,400 different ways to arrange those
words, and none of them is a sentence. |

You are all wrong. Even you, [Lurch], though it's your idea,
you're stil wrong. It's "Certified Venus Specimen". A fine
hunking hunk of a male from Venus, twisted and folded into
interesting objects known only to Earthlings. |
|
| |
[blissmiss] Your not a cartoonist are you? With that sort of mind, I am imagining a funny and slightly surreal comic strip. |
|
| |
//A fine hunking hunk of a male from Venus// |
|
| |
No no no, [bliss]. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.
Did you skip the '90s ? |

CVS, chemical vapor supposition, is what I did recently when I just supposed CVD would do what I wanted. |
|
| |
Tired girl just read that as "suppository" beanangel, cause i
was not really paying attention. |
|
| |
And yes, Men are from Mars and Women, well women...as one
songwriter once sang to me, "Are just men with a whole lot
more woe". |
|
| |
Some wag is reported to have told a customer " Your scroll, sire " as he gave him the receipt. |
|
| |
Me, I refer to them as " homeless blankets ". |
|
| |
For a single item it can be a couple of feet long, mostly coupons for things you just bought that will expire before you need them again, and for things you would never buy. |
|
| |
For multiple items they can be four foot long. |
|
| |
I'll be perfectly happy to give you my personal information in return for you not wrecking the environment. But first you'll have to give me free stuff to not kick a puppy. |

What's wrong with just making multiple flexy hexagons? |
