Koohii stories:

1) [meolox] 22-10-2007(203): There is a graveyard outside my house that scares me, so I put a huge towel over the window to serve as a curtain so I can get a good nights sleep.

2) [ruisu] 21-11-2007(59): When you're dead in the graveyard, "it's curtains for you.".

3) [cerulean] 17-7-2008(34): When a mobster says "It's gonna be curtains for you!" He means you'll be wrapped in a towel, dead in a graveyard.

4) [Doodsaq] 19-6-2008(24): After Towelie died, instead of burying him in a grave, we hung him up as a curtain so the neighbours couldn't see us hitting the bong.

5) [xeyes] 21-5-2007(17): If you've read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (SPOILERS AHEAD!)…think of the curtain in the depths of the Department of Mysteries, and what happens when Sirius encounters that curtain. (Well, yes, it's technically a veil, but since Heisig doesn't use that as a keyword, think of it as a really big…um…towel.).
