Found at a Thrift shop December 08, 2004, 08:22:40 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47508Today I was looking for a sheet at a Thrift Store to use until we made our Haversack. I spotted a blue sheet that looked like it would (nearly) match the blue of the LD. I took it down from the rack & it felt strange. I opened it up to find that it was a queen Duvet cover, made from thick sheet material! It's perfect! If you think about it... a Haversack is really just like an inverse duvet cover. I'm going to let one side out & put Velcro on it. Poof! Instant Haversack Sheet! We've been using blankets & I think we're going to stick w/ that. W/ us (we're going to play Duvet) inside & the blankets on top, we'll be very cozy! OK, I know I've let myself in for it. I've created a new euphimism... Duvet. ]

I must be missing something here. My dictionary (the OED) says that a haversack is "A bag of stout canvas, worn with a strap over the shoulder, in which a soldier carries his current day's rations. Also, any similar bag used for a like purpose by travellers, etc." You're going to sleep in a haversack?? Doesn't sound too comfortable!Andy Baird
