How Does That Make You Feel?
It’s time to do “How does that make you feel?” Thursday!
The aliens return, deciding you are their liaison to the planet (at least until they can reconnect with Eartha Kitt). This time they abduct and take you to IKEA for breakfast. Over the pancakes, you begin to realize that the titles of all the things for sale at IKEA are in the same language spoken by the aliens. The Swedish thing is a ‘front’. IKEA is their devious pseudo-Scandinavian plan to infiltrate the human culture prior to a hostile but fashionable takeover (you should have figured this out given some of the chair designs).
Discovered, they wipe out your memory of the day, but it removes your fashion sense and you’ll have to shop now at Sears.
Life without IKEA.

The world would be a better place if the Swedish did take over... nice, quiet neat people - TONS of tall blond, blue eyes men named Sven, good cars, yea - that works for me. Life without IKEA - not sure, we are just now getting our first store here in Florida... but I like their stuff...
And WHERE is Eartha Kitt - I do love her...
How DO you come up with these? This one is excellent!
The Muses are back from their holiday, and they went to IKEA
Life without IKEA would be like life without a star to dream on. :)
As I read the post, all I could see and think of was a recent email a friend sent which purported to show two new free-standing bath towel holders from IKEA. It was a picture (from the waist down) of two hot nude guys with white bath towels draped over well-sized, very stiff erections. I burst out laughing and then had to scurry for an explanation for why I was laughing to family members who heard the outburst.
I'm not sure, but I don't recall Sears having towel holders like those, so It would be criminal not being allowed to shop at IKEA. ;)
I don't feel like I have fashion sense anyway, so them wiping it out wouldn't cause too much damage.
I have to shop at Ralph Lauren and J. Crew, where the catalogues show me how to put things together.It's just easier for me to see it on someone else first.
I have never been to IKEA so I wouldn't know what I've been missing.
and here I've been sitting in Lowe's, waiting for the mothership. Dayum.
LOL @ Lemuel, I saw that pic!?
Don't we all want some towel holders!? lol
Life without headaches by putting does damn things together? Priceless!?
Having furniture that can stan the test of time from another store?! Priceless!?
So life with no IKEA?! Priceless!?
But I'm with Spider, let the tall blonds in!?
I stumbled upon your place while visiting a friends blog (Steve's Whirlyworld). Very interesting indeed. I would imagine that you possess a very wicked sense of humor. I'm headed out to IKEA to pick up a couple of towel racks.
;-O
No IKEA? Oh joy!!
I hate IKEA or as we call it...Scandahoovian Wal Mart.
Now Eartha is a whole different story. Please tell me they haven't wiped my memories of Eartha!
I guess if they wiped out my memory, I wouldn't remember how much I LOVE IKEA...it is an afternoon in Heaven :) I've been there enough to know that this breakfast is a great deal:
Deluxe Breakfast Plate
Scrambled eggs, bacon, Swedish pancakes with lingonberries, potatoes, and coffee.
$1.99
Your aliens are always gay, and want to take over the earth. I say, let's help them.
Life without IKEA? Man was created with an IKEA shaped vacuum in his heart. If there was no IKEA, we would simply have to create another.
and I thought I was the only blogger out there that had been abducted. I thought I saw you on the table beside me getting probed. Now I realize why you look so familiar.
Let them take over!
Oh...I hope the aliens are SVEDISH! I'd happily strip myself to be probed and inspected by spacely, muscled blond-blue-eyed bastions from another world. Here for submission!
There's an IKEA just up the road from me. Never been. I shop at Sears and am proud of the fact that I have no fashion sense whatsoever. I guess this will lose me more points from my gay card.
Doug! You're the Liasion!!
Don't be mislead by those Swedes. They aren't all sweet Ann Sather's types. They exploit Chinese labor as much as anyone else:

Beware McBeth! Your avatar (the purple alien photographer) could be an agent of the people's republic to insure we buy buy buy cheap faux-Scandinavian goods that won't last a decade at home, but a lifetime in the landfill!
Mr. Green
Ack! Sears stuff is expensive! I'd go broke from there furnishings. *sigh* I'd definately be shopping resale shops, ugh!
