Or You Could Be Cheeky And Assume That Dracula Just Stole The Bag Where He Keeps His Toupe.

Or you could be cheeky and assume that Dracula just stole the bag where he keeps his toupée.

Marzi, maybe you can help. In the newest post of Dracula Daily, Dracula (spoiler???) steals Harker’s things including his ‘rug’. Curious, I researched & literally all the info I found re: railway rugs was: they’re cited in Victorian novels, used as a blanket or hung up for privacy & some folded into ‘carpet bags’. No existing images. Do you have any more info? Were they made of rug-like materials? How did people keep their things from falling out of the rug-turned-bag without side seams? Thanks

Believe it or not, I've actually seen miniature versions from the 19th century! At least one.

(Novelty candy container in the form of a railway rug, also often called a carriage blanket. It resembles a blanket rolled up and bound with leather straps. Late 19th century. Sold as a dolls' accessory on Ruby Lane.)

As for the bag function, can't help you there, I'm afraid. This is the first I've ever heard of that (carpet bags being, usually, normal sewn bags made of leftover carpet scraps). I did find a quote from Robert Louis Stevenson, about having a railway rug "in the form of a bag," but that almost sounds more like a sleeping-bag sort of thing than Blanket Origami. (source. the blog author infers that the bag could be "opened" into a blanket, but that doesn't sound like what Stevenson is describing, to me)

I was working at the perfume counter once and my new coworker was like, 15. We were just chatting it up about the new fragrances between customers and she said that one of them was "very sexy" and i was like "oh?" because it was kinda light and fruity and not really what I think of as sexy, but she misunderstood my tone completely and thought I needed the concept of sexy explained to me. So she did. I got the talk from a high schooler in a crowded mall.

This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.

i get jumpscared every time i drive past my old highschool and there's kids there idk why i just assumed once i graduated they shut down the whole place out of respect

Which one of you clownstyle freaks threw my W-2 in the washing machine?
