Well, Paul simon spells it Crinoline... <G>
FOR EMILY, WHEREVER I MAY FIND HER
PAUL SIMON
What a dream I had, pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smokey burgandy
Softer than the rain
I wanderd empty streets, down past the shop display
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley-way
As I walked on
And when you ran to me, your checks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
(instrumental)
And when I awoke and felt your warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
Oh how I love you girl

hear my customer and my wife talking about them. And I DO remember
that they said that they were either MADE OF something
called "Crinolin", or, were made of something LIKE something called
Crinolin. And I am not sure of the spelling of the
word "Crinolin". I also SEEM to recall hearing them say something
about how crinolin might have been the material (or LIKE the
material) that was used to make womens' old-fashioned petticoats!

scrubbing pad may even have been shaped more like yarn, as if it came
on a roll instead of in a sheet, and was then just "woven" and/or
knitted (or something) into the shape of a scrubbing pad.

4" x 6" board in about 30 seconds, INCLUDING all of the drill holes
and small spaces, with very little EFFORT!!

And this pad does the job in much less than 1/10th the time, with
much less than 1/10th the effort.

will post it, here.
