Ok, ladies and gents of the Board... we need a Carping Block. Let's put our heads together and dream one up for those days when it seems like nothing is going right! :lol: We could even make a Carping Quilt, to wrap up in when everything seems perverse. You've got to admit that it would get a lot of use these days.
By the way, the verb "carp" comes from Middle English carpen, which comes from Old Norse karpa, to boast. So many of our English words come from Old Norse - like "berserk," for example, which didn't even undergo any spelling changes.
