Fur, and silly rhymes.
Go figure.
Okay...
*Looks around*
Who's the terrorist?
So, I have my floorplan, my sketches, dimensions, price list, et al. I've been working on getting the shelves and stuff for the past two years so none of this was an impulse buy, it's all been carefully planned. As such, I had the unreasonable expectation that my items would actually be in stock. Oh no. Not at all. I'm going to have to place a phone order and pay extra $$ for the delivery. At this point, I'd pay anything to avoid the aggravation of driving almost an hour in traffic, pushing my way through the shuffling hordes of bored city people, and locating the items I want only to see on the tag "ITEM IS TEMPORARILY OVERSOLD."
Big'ol found the phrasing of that very interesting. While most of the bored city people would find it European and quaint, Big'ol sees it as a reflection of the socialist psychology found in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe. The typical phrase "Out of Stock" puts the onus on the company. It's the company's fault there aren't any items for you to buy, but they'll be restocking soon. "Item is Temporarily Oversold" suggests there would be plenty of items left if only those pesky customers hadn't bought so many. The item will only be restocked if it won't foil some other part of the management master plan or isn't too much of a hassle.
Oh, IKEA. How I love and hate you.
The ringleader appears to be wearing The Ring.
Ha! And she doesn't appear to be pleased about it.
The Hobbit Hole Drinking, Shooting and Dating Society. I like it...
(PS - Bleach 63 is indeed out. I'm downloading it. It's double length)
Drunk amorous hobbits with guns?
2J should get a shirt made with this picture on it to try to keep the wackos away. :-D
That sounds like a baaaad idea to me...
On the other hand, it might simply attract another class of wacko.
So...the Hobbit Hole picture should be of whatshisname getting shot to pieces.
*snicker*
One of these days we should put that 2J picture in the doorway...
He's on our side OT...
Agreed ;~D
Then what's he doing showing up at our door and aiming at us?
He's aiming at the mole. ;~D
