I have spent the last three weeks folding Origami at work. I’ve made a Bat, a Cobra, an Elephant, some cool tessalations and a whole bunch of great stuff from some otherwise boring squares of paper!
Now if THAT isn’t Mundane Pointless Stuff I don’t know what is!
Also i would like to appologize to everyone (especially Maximum Overdrive, since he made such a fuss!) for putting up that Q33 post in MPSIMS, I’m sure there was a better forum for it!
Hey, cool! Origami! Oh, that reminds me…This friend of mine who waitresses told me once that the coolest tip she ever got was folded into a swan (I think, this was a long time ago). She kept it for almost a month before unfolding it and spending it. I wish I knew how, I’d leave tipigami all the time.
I do this sometimes, 'cept all I know how to make is a frog. But he really jumps! so it’s cool. Good to know that at least some wait-people dig this; I’ve been kinda nervous about unintentionally pissing people off by fucking with their money.
A friend of mine once made an origami swan for me using a wrapper from a piece of Starburst candy. It’s one of the neatest little things I’ve ever seen.
I once had a book that showed you how to make hundreds of diffrent oragami things.
I only remember how to make a ring out of a dollarbill. Sometimes I’ll try to fool around with it, and get so close to making some of the other things, but eventually I’ll have something like a swan without a head or neck, and just squish it out of frustration.
