| 1. We don't have IKEA around here yet! |
|
:-(
They are fighting to put one in in a very densely populated area, which is not flying well with the residents..

They're trying to put an IKEA in Mass? Where?
(Is there one in Somerville already?)

Brad Pitt was right in Fight Club, Ikea-Boy.

Did you find a nice table that defined you as a person?

I am not making this up. Almost my entire apartment is IKEA furniture.

I forget what it is (some kind for furniture), but it comes shipped flat, so IKEA put out a postcard to the effect of a BRA that's flat as an ironing board, or something like that.

Most people here think Ikea is a country in Asia. And the ones who don't would be more likely to put a rainbow sticker on their pickup truck than buy anything there.

I don't know why. It doesn't have the double entendre thing going for it and it's not a "weird-cool" name like GROGGY. I just always laugh when I see the BILLY bookcases. I guess it's like this;
Hey you wanna go up to my place for a drink? Sure, I've had a nice time so far. Hey nice bookcases, where'd ya get 'em? You mean Billy? Yeah they're great! Billy? You NAME your furniture? No. It came with that name, I didn't name it myself. It CAME with a name? Where's my coat? I suppose your coatrack is SUSAN? etc etc
Well, it's funny to me.
