  1. it can be folded different ways, into an airplane, into a rose and even into a sailors hat. It has a lot of potential to become something great to be used liek cleanign yourself after dinner or using it to wipe the counter. If it is left on the floor it can be eatenby one’s pet or just someone might pick it up and throw it out.

  6. the date with the housemates in EMC. when bill was showing us how to spread the napkin, it was actually very awkward. haha. and it feels like he is trying to help us, yet on a negative note, he is actually trying to show off.

  7. As I fold my napkin on my lap, she looks up at me. I’m at a loss for words… she wants me to say it, but I can’t. I shouldn’t. I won’t. She’s always searching my eyes. Little does she know, there’s nothing in there to find.

  8. He dabbed gingerly at the corners of his mouth like he was taught. Of course the huge blob of sauce in the middle of his face remained untouched, but that’s the price you pay for good manners sometimes.

  10. napkins are one of the most boring things in the world, purely because they are nothing more than an over-hyped piece of paper. napkins are exactly like tissues, except instead of wiping our wet noses on them we put crappy food on them instead, or throw them at people in restaurants if we are not happy.
    overall, the most annoying thing about napkins is the very small amount you usually get given with a meal, as 1 or 2 is very rarely enough, especially with messy foods like hotdogs.

  11. napkins are useful for keeping food and other spills off things and also wiping and cleaning up afterwards if you forgot to wear or use one in the first place. You can make shapes out of them too by folding them in an origami fashion!

  12. My grandmother always ironed the napkins before she put them on the table. I always thought that was silly. She’s kind of a silly person. My mother just throws them in the napkin drawer. They never match and are often wrinkled. But I don’t mind.

  13. She picked up the napkin and wipped away the apple sauce that had dripped onto the baby’s face. This only resulted in the appl sauce finding it’s way into her hair.

  14. Its small and square. Usually white. Dark rings of past drinks mar its pristine surface. Many carcases are throw in nearby bins.

  15. There are always a few napkins in any house. Even nowadays, when most people would substitute paper towels in the napkin’s stead in almost every instance, is the napkin pervasive. Restaurant napkins have increasingly adopted this quality of elegance which prevents them from performing their duty of even cleaning up a mess. There are better ways of cleaning nowadays, I suppose is the philosophy.

  16. What made us decide to create the napkin? Did it come into being as a result of us not wanting to stain or ruin clothing? Fear of mold? Or was it that the napkin started out as something that was convenient, our ancestors grabbed at a piece of cloth or hide?

  17. Napkin was a word that took on an ominous meaning when I hit middle school, since the slang at that time for feminine products was “napkin.” All of a sudden I wasn’t comfortable calling what I’d used in swanky restaurants to wipe the dribbles off my chin a napkin any longer. That was a somehow dirty word, now. In my adulthood, it has changed, but not much.

  18. Napkins are serviettes’ glamourous older sister. Much more sophisticated and stylish.

    by Danielle on 06.17.2008
  19. Napkins are clean and prevent me from destroying clothes. They are paper or cloth, or maybe something else

  20. I made the switch from cloth to paper napkins. You try to be green, but is it really a change? Now I will use more electricity and water to wash these napkins. The kids love them…… great colors, soft feeling and they hold up to bbq ribs (unlike the 10 paper it took before) Eco…. Yeah.

  21. The napkin, dropped frantically, soaked the liquid, stemming its flow. A tragedy averted, the evidence sequested. The napkin scrunched and hidden away. A moment passed.

  22. the napkin sat on the table, smeared with her lipstick, a reminder of why I was no longer with him.

    She had disdainly placed it there, with a flourish, purposely trying to get up my nose, her red lips of sin staining it, poisoning it, it should’ve been my table, my napkin, it should’ve been our dinner together.

  23. I think that they are hugely overrated. After all how often do I get to the end of a meal and find that I haven’t used it at all. But they look nice folded into origami before the meal!

  24. Mary and Kathy were two year old cousins.Their mothers would get togther during Mary and Kathy’s nap time.The Mom’s callled them:’Nap-Kin’.

  25. This is a posh word – the less posh word is serviette. I don’t know when I learned the difference, but now I do make a point of using the word napkin. Perhaps serviette better describes disposable napkins. It’s a class thing, definintely.

  26. that’s really odd.. i never knew that’s how you spell napkin, i don’t know what else it could have been, but it just looks so strange, looks like it should be the name of some sort of weapon, must be the syllables

  27. paper, cloth or whatever, the napkin is an indispensable addition to my wife’s meals. she cannot or will not do without one. i, on the other hand, could care less.

  28. napin got attacked and when he awoke he had seven super powers, all of them were a goat and i couldnt find my shoes

  29. I used to color on napkins at pizza places, i always liked how crisp they were. Just white, with nothing on them, made to be ruined and tossed. It just seemed rather magical to me, you know? I always wanted to record the stain, the art i created. :] But i never did.

  30. I looked down and my napkin and saw that it was too dirty to be used any further. Being so I discarded it, and grabbed a new one.

  31. Napkins are an amazingly handy source of paper. Some of the best ideas, poems and stories have been planed on spur of the moment sparks on the back of a napkin at a bar or in a coffee shop. If it weren’t for napkins would these ideas fade and be forgotten?

    What about lovers who meet through the use of a napkin for a number, would their love cease to boom if she had nothing to write on to let him know she wants him to call?

    Napkins, though intended simply to clean yourself up when eating, sneezing, drinking or generally being messy, have a much greater use through the sparks of inspiration we each suffer from every day.

  34. He sat in the dinner, hands on his napkin. Pondering when a familiar face might show up. The waitress refilled his coffee, again and again. No one came.

  35. This piece of shit. I remember one time walking down the street thinking to myself what I would do for the rest of my life, when it occured to me that the more I think and the less I do will result in a dilema in which I would always face the same problems on non-progression. Make sense? Well if you read it enough times it will, dont be stupid ok?

  36. her mouth had just puckered a little at the sour taste. She blinked and wiped her eyes. That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, she said. Well sometimes you have to eat pickles dipped in horse radish. Really? What kind of date is this anyhow? I don’t know he replied. You’re the one who wanted to be on “Jackass.”

  37. A napkin so beautiful that it has the capability to wipe things. Or do other things napkin-related. You can sorta make it look like a crane if you mush it up right. I don’t normally mush it up right, though. It normally just looks like a squished, convolute mass of napkin, instead of a… napkin, as it normally would and should.

    by Tames on 06.17.2008
  38. You can wipe stuff up with it. Unless it’s like a …feminine napkin.
    Ewwwww.

    Right?

    Am I right??

    Yeah…

    I’m totally right.

    Totally.

    TOTALLY!!!!!!!

    Wow 60 sec. is a lot of time actually when you do this. Until you start talking about how much time it really is. And then it goes by SUPER FAST!!!
