Stolen (and modified to be relevent to our group) from The Hippies were Right FB page…because it made me laugh, and because it all sounds just a bit familiar…

11 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use duvet covers and therefore the posts are relevant here.
16 to post ‘Following’.
36 to debate which method of changing duvet covers is superior, where to buy the best duvet covers, what brand of duvet covers work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.
5 admins to ban the duvet cover posters who took it all too seriously.
1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.
PMing mods with rants about all the posters who don’t agree about duvets and asking for their accounts to be banned.
Or PMing mods with requests for certain posters not to comment on their threads…
Or… PMing mods about how the thread got off topic.
Or my favorite… PMing mods with a BIG announcement about how they are pissed and leaving the forum and could we please delete their account (“Goodbye Felicia!)
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say that turning the duvet cover inside out and grabbing the corners with your hands inside IS by far the best method of putting a duvet cover on.
