I lay in the bed, engrossed in the story, upside down, with my feet where my pillow would normally be... the tale was absolutely beguiling.
It had started three sheets ago, and I was seriously hooked.
This was brilliant! A thousand thread-count sheet of finest Egyptian cotton, overprinted with
the bedtime novel of your choice. One sheet per page, Velcro along one edge so you simply "tear off" each page/sheet after you have finished reading it, and return it to Bedtime Reading, to be washed and reprinted.
Fantastic tales, and a freshly laundered set of sheets every night.
Also offered in half and half, so you don't have to roll your sleeping partner onto the floor to read the end of each sentence.
Marvelous

I only fear that Playboy or Hustler will modify this idea. I don't think I would use their sheets though, regardless of how many times they were laundered. |
|
| |
Gone With The Wind, would need to be at least three sheets. |
|
| |
Three sheets to the wind? |
|
| |
Print song lyrics and call it sheet music. |
|
| |
After all, books are printed between covers... |
|
| |
I tried the Playboy version but all the sheets were stuck together. |
|
| |
Print bible verses in random places so you can wake up staring at "Job 26:6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. " |
|
| |
"I always take my diary with me on train trips,
I find it helps to have something sensational to read." |
|
| |
Glow in the dark bedtime grafitti perhaps? |
|
| |
This is a book, in the shape of a bed, with turnable pages, made of the bedding. |
|
| |
Could work well as a comic book too. |
|
| |
True... or a porn magazine. I'm sure that would be a fairly early adaptation. |
|
| |
Comic books would be easy, the graphics are already popular in kids decor. if you can stand that sort of thing. |
|
| |
Maybe just the pillow case. |
|
| |
But wait, stop the press/mill/rinse-cycle. How about a big roll of Tolkien like the roll of towel you get in public toilets. That way you don't have to move round the bed you just roll it on a bit every few lines. Bedsheets could last for ages, being incrementally replaced each night. |
|
| |
The porno version would go down on you veeery slowly, ooh you tease, yes I want it baby. Aaaargh!! it's the joke version with a Bangkok ladyboy on, oh humanity! |
|
| |
+ because I love fresh sheets with lots of stories in them. |
|
| |
Manga? Hentai? There are possibilities and a great market there. |
|
| |
I'm reading Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" at the moment. It would make excellent bed linen. That guy must have spent a lot of time completely off his face. |
|
| |
Buy the porno version and your teenagers will be jumping at the chance to do the laundry. |
|
| |
If only to hide their sheets from us. |
|
| |
This would work for one of those multi-threaded stories: "If you think the hero should shoot go to page 47 (about 2ft up the bed); If you think the hero should run away go to page 112 (just under your wife's legs)" |
|
| |
I suppose it would, [hippo]. I thought of it as a book of sheets that you read sequentially and return for laundering. |
|
| |
My wife always steals the pages at
night. + |
