YOU! (A Picture/Media Thread): XXII

[Quincunx]

My phone and/or computer have caught a case of blazing retardation out of somewhere--I can upload every picture off of said phone except the ones I've taken myself. Can circumvent this by transferring my own photos as files "to be printed", one at a time, but this is a considerable pain in the neck. Ideas on how to beat some sense into my phone solicited.

At any rate, here's regular camera/cell phone photos of the duvet and pillowcases I made in slippery fabric--simple but fun.

Unrelated: your username reminded me of Ke$ha, from the song "CUNX Tuesday", "CUNX" = "C U NX" = "c. u. next" = "See you next (Tuesday)". But you obviously have better skills with textiles than her.

What's the difference between a duvet and a blanket?

What's the difference between a duvet and a blanket?

"It's a blanket. Just a blanket. Now why do guys like you and me know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No."

[Nano]

Trog, when's the last time you received a marriage proposal? Would you like one right now?

[Dr. Bath]

Duvets contain some kind of down, either synthetic or fowl based, whereas blankets are (generally) a single layer of fabric. Or at least layers of fabric that are not filled up with something else.

That is a lovely duvet though, Quin. How long did that take to make?

@Poketa: Oh gawd Ke$ha! The worst name, the worst songs. I'm pretty sure band names that involve currency symbols shouldn't be allowed.

I thought that was called a comforter?

Quincunx: ridiculously intelligent and talented? So not fair.

(Oh, and Wikipedia agrees with Bath on the duvet/blanket distinction. So he must be right!)

[Dr. Bath]

I thought a comforter (not that I've ever heard of something referenced as such in person) was a fluffier blanket?

Life's a bitch ain't it.

[Sneak]

I'm fairly certain that comforter and duvet can be used interchangeably.

[Dr. Bath]

Learn something new every day. I have also learnt that playing Pokemon Hard Mode is quite emotionally taxing. Also that my rattata is in the top percentage of rattatas.

Very nice! ...I'm a little curious about the roll of toilet paper on the nightstand, though.

I thought I was the only one who was gonna mention that. I would assume it is in lieu of tissues, as I've done that before when sick (use tp instead of tissues to blow my nose, since tp is cheaper).

[Deth Muncher]

This thread is plagued with sonnets.
It needs more couplets on it.

[Superglucose]

I'm switching to haukou. They hurt my brain less to write. I am highly impressed with pocketa's ability to write the sonnets; however, she got them out pretty quickly.

'zat anything like haiku?

[Superglucose]

Are you pocketa?

(On further inspection, it appears I must clarify: I was told that any time I flatter/flirt/praise/parse pocketa in this thread it had to be poetic. So I am responding to her in haikou. Perhaps other forms if the mood strikes me. It's just too much to always respond in sonnet since I'm not any good with meter)

Anybody can
write haiku. Just stop at the
seventeenth syllab

Oh ho ho, I see what you did there, you cheeky person you.

[Sneak]

I get it as well.
That joke was amusing, no?
Writing haiku? Easy.

Wait—damn!

Isn't a couplet generally just part of a larger poem? Like the couplet at the end of a Shakespearean sonnet?

About duves, how many words to describe a blainket does a world really need?

We've been over this; comforters and duvets are a TOTALLY DIFFERENT BEAST than blankets.

As you can see, it's important to specify.
