IKEA for everybody -- even Urq!

[yakalskovich]

IKEA originally started out promoting 'democratic design' -- back in the days when businesses had ideals and IKEA was mostly pine wood furniture and stripey fabrics. And it still aims to be a furniture store for everybody, small families with yowling brats little kids, urbane gay couples, not!Taylor Durden, elderly women with their daughters (<= us) and even Urquhart...

Well, a bloke who looked extremely like Urquhart, at least. He  was arriving when we left. He drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Duh.-



Disclosure: I hate SUVs and all the related adapted-military, pseudo-offroad roadhoggery with a hot and fiery hatred. Twice hot and fiery since a Humvee once tried to ogg my mother, the Little Lady, and me while we were on one of our customary walks to our favourite tiny ruined castle by the river Rhine. We narrowly survived by jumping into a hedge. It was the one time my mom wasn't upset with me for making rude hand signs and cursing fluently in three languages; normally, she hates it when I do this. So, Jeep Grand Cherokee => OMG ebil on wheels!!!!111!!! Still, it's a car that fits Urquhart. Mornignstar Manor!AU!Urq is definitely going to drive one...

I have essentially no idea what you are talking about, but it amuses me anyway. Now I am picturing a "People of IKEA" blog where we all get dressed up in character costumes and go to IKEA and pose as if we were buying stuff there then post it on the internet...

Oh man that would be funny as hell. I think it would be funny for the employees too. "Excuse me, I'm looking for a Captain's Chair for my starship, do you carry those?"

That would be an immensely fun thing to do! We'd have to stick to iconic charries, though. I don't really have those. Mine tend to be obscure, like Urquhart, who is my newest Milli!pup.

Then do it in IKEAs all over the world on the same day -- one in costume, one with camera...
