One of the blogs I read is Ikea Hacker. Have you heard of it? It’s a compilation of all sorts of DIY projects that people do with Ikea furniture — whether it’s sprucing up a plain table into something fancy or taking a bookshelf and turning it into a speedboat. (Okay, maybe that last one is a stretch.)
Every day is a new adventure on Ikea Hacker and you never know what some stoned enterprising person will come up with.
Today is no exception:
While its official name is the “Action Figure Screen,” I’m calling it the “40-Year-Old Virgin Toy Shelf” because I think we all know what kind of man (and it was a man) built this. Can you see back in the corner of the photo? He has ANOTHER shelf of Star Wars toys. And you just know that somewhere in this man’s house, he has this poster hanging on a wall in a place of honor:
If he still lives at home with his mother, then you just know that she dusts the archival poster frame every day after she makes his breakfast, packs his lunch, and does his laundry.
If this guy ever gets married — and that is an if — the wedding processional will be something composed by John Williams and the groom will lobby to have the groomsmen dress as stormtroopers. The bride will pack the bikini shown above for her honeymoon and will pull it out of storage in later years to add a little spice to her marriage.
So I really enjoyed today’s Ikea Hacker post and hope you did too. And if you are married to a man who still has all his Star Wars dolls action figures, you have my deepest sympathies I apologize for possibly insulting you.
what a hoot! Tell me you’re getting one for your hubby soon;)
Heh heh heh – you really made me laugh!
*snicker* And you do know there HAVE been wedding themes EXACTLY as you have described?? LOLOL
My brother and his wife attended a wedding a couple of years ago where, at the end of the ceremony, the wedding party formed two lines and held lightsabers up for them to walk under while some theme music from Star Wars played. I am not even kidding.
Yeah and that guy will likely stay single a LONG time!
I wanna know what that big mess of cabling and wires is for. Is it wired for sound? Lights?
Truly scary.
I have been to that wedding, it was hilarious, in addition to the light sabre procession the bridesmaids wore hoochie mama red strapless dresses complete with vegas strip slit to the thigh and 2 of them were obviously pregnant. At the reception they passed a plate around for donations for the bride and groom to pay bills with. Tackiest wedding ever. I was a last minute replacement date for a friend. thankfully I didn’t know any of those people.
I think I dated this guy before Rhino.
Sadly, I’m not kidding.
Stop laughing Jen.
I dated a guy and we ended up back at his place one night and he had THREE bookshelves filled with model race cars. Like NASCAR cars.
I faked a headache and went home.
