Cursed by the ikea gods

Posted on June 15, 2004 By admin 53 Comments on Cursed by the ikea gods

This is just nuts.

Go to Ikea with [info]eniran. We walk through the whole friggin' store twice, because stuff is not where it is supposed to be. The coffee table I wanted is, of course, out of stock. The kitchen island I wanted is still out of stock. The kitchen table i though I wanted, on closer inspection, is ugly (well, the table legs are). To top it all off, the replacement coffee table I settled on was – you guessed it – out of stock in the self-serve shelves.

I got some cool lamps for cheap to replace the ones that are leaving with the roommates, and I did find a cool way to arrange two smaller coffee tables for my living room, but still… I'm now convinced that I need to sacrifice swedish meatballs to the gods of Ikea.

As a side note, that girl is the only person I know who could find sex toys at Ikea. The kitchen section was bad enough, but the kiddies section… jeebus.

    Sweet! S. did notice a cool looking sword and shield. I didn't find any restraints or suspension gear, but I didn't really look that hard, to be honest.

    … you didn't notice any suspension gear.
    OK. Either they've changed their collection, or you missed this and
    these.

    eeep! you're right, I completely missed those!

    Yeah. See? IKEA is totally into that!

    I just had the weirdest flash to actually built a working dungeon out of ikea stuff. I'm not even into BDSM, but that would be so damn funny.

    Yes, I'm weird. I blame the lack of coffee this morning.

    We also laughed our asses off at these candles, but that's just cause we are perverts.

    Actually, it was the more phallic 17cm model that made us laugh, but yes, we are pervs.

    1. Gmail is sort of awkward to learn.

    2. Hee. I still think the ben-wa-bulb/whip/flashlight combo wins!

    The best bit was that neither of us said anything, just looked at them, looked at each other, and cracked up.

    yes, I agree with you. Especially when your shopping partner wants you to whip them in the store to try it out…

    It was a pain in the ass to get the flashlight bit to work… and it will be a pain in the ass some other time too, I bet ;D

    And again… exit only. I should rephrase that then, pain across the ass, maybe?

    Liquor in the front but no poker in the rear, right?

    I really do need to stop saying that. It's getting a bit tiresome. ;P

    I like men too, just not in the sexy way… did you really think that would freak me out?

    June 15, 2004 at 4:41 pm

    No, I had to add the bikini. She was in her birthday suit. It was right after the biggest orgy of my life so far. Ah, good times…
