Friday Futon - Carpet Designers

I just can’t stop thinking about the folks who design carpet patterns.  Think of the ego they must have. I bet the conversations at the yearly Carpet Designer By Carpet West Festival goes something like this:

Some dude: ”Yeah, I did the carpet in the Oval Office. (snicker)  What have you done?”
Some other dude: ”(Gulp) I did the local 24 Hour Fitness”
Some dude: ”Right, right.  Oh hey, there’s Tina Thread! You know she came up with the sliding stitch technique right?  That crap is all over the place now. Dayam.”

I wonder if they obsess over the finer details, thread counts, accessibility, junk like that.  Or if they have a site like, www.carrrpet.com where they show previews of their new carpet designs, and let others drool over them. Do you think they even consider durability in their design?  I mean, do they bitch and moan over the fact that shoe manufacturers aren’t sticking with the standards, and allowing rogue soles on their precious carpet?!? I’m sure there are blogs dedicated to the hatred of Red Wing boots.  That junk will straight up shred any carpet design in no time.

Man, carpet designers are such divas.
