cristalia: we bought (STORY), by the by. :-)
matociquala: Oh, cool.
cristalia: after another rewrite and I may tweak with him some more.
cristalia: I actually really like the guy, has a sense of humour. *g*
cristalia: here, when he sent it back:
cristalia: "Dear Leah,

I've been burning the midnight oil, but I finally managed to finish the revisions you asked for. I know I told you it might take ten days, but it was my plan all along to shock and amaze you by how much I could beat my self-imposed deadline by. (Scotty on Star Trek figured this one out, too. Ever notice how all his repairs were estimated to take two weeks?)

cristalia: I was all bahahaha! you're neat!
matociquala: hee
matociquala: yes
matociquala: That's two weeks if he has to do it himself with an Ikea alan wrench
cristalia: heeee
matociquala: if he has his crew, an hour, two tops
cristalia: I wonder if they have Ikea in the 25th century.
cristalia: Probably do.
matociquala: yes
matociquala: They have the contract for the Federation's furniture.
matociquala: you can tell at a glance
cristalia: hee, yes. It's all made with pegs and comes in a box.
cristalia: I bet Ikea owns Earth just from the delivery charges.
matociquala: That's what they do with spare ensigns.
matociquala: "Build this book case."
cristalia: heee
matociquala: Keeps 'em out of trouble between redshirtings

Eee, I should have known better to take a drink of coffee in the middle of that. There was nearly DANGER! at the redshirt part!

hee, sorry!

I do belive you're right... Ingvar Kamprad will be the sole ruler of Earth (or whatever they will call him) mumified and refusing to die from his empire....

Yeah, that's why they're so cooperative in the Federation. If they make trouble, Ingvar will put them on the curb like that old lamp in the commercials... *g*
