Yakko's World, Thursday, Period 2
"Well, if you listened to radio the other day, you might have heard me promise to bring some toys back from the longest Black Friday sale line ever," Yakko said. "Buuuuuuuut that line lasted another day and at that point I had to give up. But it's okay! Because I stopped somewhere else on my way back. Somewhere that works well with a country theme. That place? IKEA. That country? Sweden."
"Sweden has a long and interesting history that nobody cares about. It's a lot like Egypt in that it's split into two distinct periods of people caring. Egypt had pyramids and recent social upheaval. Sweden has vikings and modern furniture."
"If you don't know what a viking is, then take your modern pirate trope, but replace the pirate with a muscley guy with a beard and fur coat, and horned helmet, and probably a huge axe. And they gave their kids last names that told everyone who their daddy was. For example, a couple of the most Leif vikings in America were Eric the Red and his son, Leif Ericson. If Lief were a girl, she'd probably be named Leifette Ericdóttir. And instead of being Yakko Warner, I'd be Yakko Spielbergproduktion."
"They also had gods and stuff but I'm probably not the teacher to ask about that."
"And now, today, we have IKEA, which is a furniture store. In order to better understand IKEA, I have a demonstration."
The lights went out for just a moment.
1. When the lights came back on, Yakko was standing in front of a large cardboard box, looking smug. The lights went out for a moment.
2. When the lights came back on, the box was gone and all of the parts to a POÄNG chair were on the floor. Yakko looked confused as he held the pictogram instructions. In fact, there was a question mark above his head. The lights went out for a moment.
3. When the lights came back on, Yakko was smiling while handing the instructions to whoever signed in first in the sign in thread. Sucks to be you, First Person To Sign In. The lights went out for a moment.
4. When the lights came back on, there were enough POÄNG chair boxes for everyone! And everyone had instructions on their desk. From his desk, Yakko was smiling innocently. Sucks to be you, Everyone Else In The Class. Now assemble some chairs.

Listen to the Lecture
ACTIVITY: Build POÄNG Chairs
Re: ACTIVITY: Build POÄNG Chairs
Or at least that's the impression that she might be giving off, what with the slipping as many as she could get away with into the various pockets and crevices of her jacket.
Tools. Toooooooools. Tiny metal tools for building things that could conceivably also be used to take things apart.
And pick locks.And pick locks. You have fun your way, Ace would have fun hers.As for instance now, when she took a serious look at the instructions, nodded, crumpled them up into a ball and tossed them over her shoulder, then proceeded to start building a giant slingshot (or a tiny catapult) instead of a chair.
