kag523 for both FANTASTIC manips for my post. <3)The Registry:
Dragon*Con provided a thousand moments of hilarity, but one of my favorites came out of a discussion of the fabled IKEA ship. What is that you ask? Well, as some shippers posited, the Ikea ship is a supply ship for all of those things that could not still exist after months on the run: endless booze, cigars, cigarettes, etc. (which were plentiful of course, even if food was gone). LOL!
So, let's assume that there is an IKEA ship in the fleet and Lee and Kara have gotten engaged. As with all good planners, Lee has signed them up for a wedding registry on the IKEA ship (which has any item you could desire). Kara has added her desired items to Lee's oh-so-practical ones.
What items are on their IKEA wedding registry?
Or maybe you don't give a flying frak about the registry and have better ideas about what these two need to have a happy life together - what are you gonna buy them?
ETA: Our 99 Bottles game is up to number 45 - please keep adding here. Don't forget to check out the wonderful answers and pics from yesterday's Values post. It's never too late to add your own!

Date: 2010-09-22 01:36 pm (UTC)K: I don't want a kitchen that looks like a doctor's office, Lee. It's too sterile.
L: It's simple and clean, Kara. There's a difference. I happen to like that look.
K: Well I think you need to step out of that clean and tidy, military-issue box you are in. Join the rest of us in the real world.
L: Come muck around in the muck with you?
(she laughs and shoves page 573 of the Ikea book at him)
K: See that bedroom set?
L: That looks like something my grandmother owned, except it's in worse shape than hers. (Lee squints). It looks like its from a flea market.
K; I happen to like things that are worn in.
L: That so?
K: Married you, didn't I?
(Lee steps closer, leaning in for a kiss)
L: I'll compromise. You pick the bedroom set. I get the kitchen.
(Kara laughs)
K: Fine with me. I have no intention of spending ANY time cooking. But the bedroom on the other hand...

Date: 2010-09-22 01:46 pm (UTC)Just that alone is enough to ponder.
I think Lee would want things like a bookcase and coffee table (Kara just wants the coffee table to be able to hold their weight). But Kara would insist on the pillows and fluffy comforter....with girly flowers...just to make Lee upset.
I can't help but see them having a game where they register for the worst things ever just to embarrass everyone who is is buying them stuff. Does IKEA sell toilets?
cheers.

Date: 2010-09-22 03:03 pm (UTC)Kara: Yeah, so?
Lee: So you can’t ask for a motorcycle. Not unless it will make you happy to drive it in a tiny circle around the hangar deck at about ten miles per hour. You’ll go nuts within a week.
Kara: But once we get to Earth, it’ll be perfect. I’m just thinking of the future, Mr. Beacon-of-Hope. You should try it sometime.
Lee: (smiling) Oh, yeah?
(He posts a request for a baby cradle.)
Kara: Smooth. You realize you’ve got less than thirty seconds before your Dad...
Intercom: Captain Thrace and Mr. Adama, report to CIC. This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill.

Because I just couldn't help myself
Date: 2010-09-22 06:52 pm (UTC)L: Kara, what the frak. I think someone hacked into our registry account. What is all this stuff?
K: Hmmm? What stuff?
L: I don't even know what half this crap is: botttle warmer? Who the frak wants warm ambrosia?
K: That would be gross. (Trying not to burst out laughing.)
L: Nipple cream? This is crazy. What the hell? Kara, this is some kinky stuff.
K: Sounds dirty...
L: Receiving blanket? Onesie 3M? Who did this? Must've been Racetrack. She hacked our LJ's and now this. I'm so not inviting her to the wedding now.
L: Delete. (Clicks) Delete. (Clicks)
(Kara rushes over and pulls his hands away from the keyboard.)
L: What are you doing?
K: Lee. You're an idiot. I put those on there.
L: Nipple cream, Kara? I mean, I'm okay if you want to get kinky, but do you have to advertise it to the whole fleet?
K: (laughing) Those are baby items you moron.
L: What? (Makes confused face)
K: Baby. Let me spell it for you: B A B Y...
L: (mouth drops open) Oh my gods!
K: (grins and gets knocked over by a joyous lee adama)

From:Towels
Date: 2010-09-22 07:15 pm (UTC)Kara: Hmm?
Lee: Why are there only two full size bath towels on the lists?
Kara: Oh, that’s all I need.
Lee: And I thought you were going to get some blue ones. For me. We talked about this. Didn’t we?
Kara: I put down blue towels for you. Quite a few in fact.
Lee: Where?
Kara: (leans over his shoulder and points to the list) Here.
Lee: Those are hand towels, Kara.
Kara: I know. I thought you liked the little towels.
Lee: (turns and pulls her into his lap) No, I think that’s you who likes me using the little towels.
Kara: No, I like you best without the towel at all. You should feel lucky I got you any at all. (bops him on the nose with a finger and smirks)
Lee: Cute.
Kara: Yes, I am.

From:Excerpt from The Art of Diplomacy for Decorating Newlyweds!
Date: 2010-09-22 11:08 pm (UTC)Letter from "Anonymous" in response to the article:
Success? Seriously? Have you SEEN our living room Lee? I swear to the gods if you stack the damn coasters and line them up perpendicular to the coffee table one more time, I'm going to scream. And what's with the reorganizing of all the books? I can't find anything any more. You've seriously taken the neatness thing to a whole new freakish level. The kitchen looks like it's been sterilized for frak's sake. Cottle could perform surgery in there. It's a KITCHEN Lee. Things spill in there. Get over it. Oh, and by the way, I'm not your mom Lee, so stop calling me Mrs. Adama.
Response to "Anonymous" from Leland J. Adama, author
Kara, if you're going to use specifics about our life, you're not "anonymous." What's wrong with the books? All I did was organize the books by genre and then alphabetized by author! It's way better than spending hours looking through shelf after shelf for a copy of "Five Easy Steps to Win at Triad." And you ARE Mrs. Adama, too late to take it back now.
Response to author from "Kara Thrace-Adama"
THAT's the book you were looking for and what started the whole organizing-the-bookshelves project last week? Gods Lee, I gave that one away to Hot Dog weeks ago. And, I don't want to take back being married to you, you big baby.
(K ... that's it. I'm out of anything else to say. It's been a LONG day). What an AWESOME & FUN post btw Heather!

P.S. I totally want Lee's kitchen! Ask Kag - she had to give me the link for the pic.
