Ikea

My two cents about Ikea furniture (a passive aggressive response, of sorts):

I like Ikea furniture.

There, I said it. Mostly, for two reasons. First, I like going to the Ikea store in Elizabeth, and eating those little meatballs. They are delicious. Also, I like putting together a bed from tiny little pieces of wood, realizing that I did something wrong at the very beginning because there are a few little knobby pieces missing, deciding to take it all apart again, eating some Thai food on the floor of a new apartment (because the table and chairs are still just piles of wood boards), and starting the whole assembly again. That's my idea of a good time.

So, the bed broke. Personally, I would use that incident as a testament of one's sexual prowess, instead of an example of shoddy Swedish workmanship.

You do know that they put evil chemicals in those meatballs, don't you? They're not harmful to your general health, but they do cause you to fill your shopping cart with lots of Swedish furniture you really don't need... ;-)

They will even place the baby in a ball pit while you shop. There is no shopping experience more complete.
