Game Called On Account Of Collapse

My bookshelf that has been sitting next to my desk for years made a popping noise and leaned over 15 degrees.

Damn!

But I'm handy, I can fix it!

No.  I am not that handy and I could not fix it.

I know exactly what bookshelf I wanted to replace it.

Just run down to Sears, Montgomery-Wards, Woolworths, or JC Penny's.

Oh...  Wait...

Check at Wal Mart, Target, Amazon, Home Depot and Staples.

While there were a couple of good candidates, nothing could be here for about a week, Friday at the soonest.

That's sub optimal, and downright untenable.

The Feline agents of destruction would scatter the Lego to the wind in the mean time.

So I checked IKEA.  There's an IKEA in Tampa and they had something that looked right, but I wanted to see it in person.

The Billy.

Knowing that it'd never fit in Moxie, I enlisted Marv's help (THANKS MARV!)

 

You can even get it with doors.  I didn't know that until we got there.

Now the Legos are safe and can be seen.  The books are behind the solid section of the doors. 

The IKEA store is a fucking maze!  We walked the entire ground floor until we realized that we needed to go upstairs and that meant waltzing through the warehouse and checkout to get to the escalator.

Then another maze to the area with bookshelves on display in their fake rooms.

Then look up the pieces, find them in the warehouse and check out with a side trip BACK into the ground floor to get the brass knobs.

I think it would be hilarious to bring a LARP group to an IKEA store and face the maze!
