    The weirdness is strong with this one.

    I don't even know what a "blaneket" is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭stripysocks85


    NO, but as a youngster when struggling to take my top/jumper off, I used let it hang around my head and pretend I was a nun ............


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,177 ✭✭✭DenMan


    No. I've never done that before.

    I used to feel like I was Batman.

    Then I turned 6.

    I think we all did that! :rolleyes: No, Darth Vader doesn't come to mind. Sticking with the religious topic, I think I always feel like a robed up Pope when I'm carrying my blanket around on my shoulders.

    Naaah I always felt like Superman with a blanket on my shoulders.
    I'd sometimes use a blanket/sheet to dress as a priest to say mass in the living room when I couldn't find one of my dad's old shirts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭mud


    No, but when I was a kid I'd have a vest on (but with only one arm through the sleeve) and a pair of knickers pretending to be Jane from Tarzan. traversing from the back of the couch to the carpet going: aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhheeeeyaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaw

    Oh, yes, because this thread has far more cultural and day to day implications.

    I used to wear a teatowel on my head to pretend I had long hair when I was younger. My mum used to give me clips and hairbands to accessorise. So this does not seem strange to me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I walk around with a twoel tied around my waist and try NOT to feel like a Sumo wrestler.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Why?!

    I'd dress as a priest, my brother would be the altar server. I'd stick a blanket over the table in the living room, put it in the middle of the room. A cook-book reader/holder on top to put the Bible in, some candles lit, and for the host either bread (ripped up, rolled into a ball then flattened) or Milkyway buttons.

    I was a strange child actually. Used to do shows for mom and dad every week or so, with a full song and dance routine, some jokes, a book reading and a bit of acting.

    Reminds me of two sayings.

    1. Birds of a kind stick together
    and
    2. Fools seldom differ!

    :D

    Just be careful though because a guy up the road got a superman suit for Christmas when we were younger. He put it on and tried to fly down the stairs and broke his arm :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    I always pretended to be superman.
    Another one, how many of you used to jump around on the furniture pretending the floor was made of lava?

    I got sent to the head dinnerlady at school (Edna.. she only had 8 fingers, scary woman) for pretending my Walkers ready salted crisps were communion wafers. Got in to big big trouble for it, was told I was a terrible boy and was going to hell :confused:

    Actually my brothers were p***ks cos they told me I'd have to tell the priest I'd been doing that when I went for my first confession. I was sh*ting myself and didn't tell the priest in the end. When I came back they were asking me how many prayers I had to say etc. They got it out of me that I didn't tell the priest and kept reminding me for years after that God would always remember that I lied in my first confession and blackmailed me for years by saying they'd tell mum and dad. They got a lot of club milks and the chocolate flakes from the 99s out of me for that!

    Was I the only one who pretended it was the sea and that Jaws would eat me if I fell into the sea/onto the floor!

    I still don't like having my feet on the floor when watching Jaws :o

    Pfft...everyone knows you need pixie dust and happy thoughts before you can fly! Silly friend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭Smyth


    Ah god yeah!!

    Then create a faux hood with the blanket to achieve the "dark side" effect...waving your hand commanding your family; "you want to make me tea"

    I sleep under the stairs now
    :(

    Wearing it backwards, it's a run of the mill robe... and the back is slightly exposed...like a hospital gown? cosy as hell though, €8 in Penneys :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,581 ✭✭✭Voltex


    I was sure the majority of blanket wearers thoughtd they felt like Darth Vader.
    Batman/Superman never even entered my mind...let alone a priest saying lets pretend Mass!
