Ikea: Get a clue

[KoH]

You have to remember, these are the same people that beat the crap out of each other at their soccer games. I think they are fortunate only two died.

Somehow I'm thinking the football hooligan segment doesn't intersect very much with the "I want a purple, plastic writing desk called Flörgen*" segment.









*Note: The word Flörgen is a fabrication by the author of this post. Any resemblence to any Scandanavian insults to your mother, living or dead, are purely a coincidence.

Here's where I admit I searched IKEA's website for a plastic writing desk so I could say "Florgen, how ridiculous - it's really called <blank>." But they don't have any plastic writing desks.

Now I have Claire's word in my head - Whateverishly.

Bwahahaha......one at a time....you'll all have that word stuck in your head.....one by one!!!

And I wish it was my word. The credit belongs to David Sedaris. It just so fits me somehow--pretty much my philosophy on living in one nonsensical word.

And Portlanders really want an Ikea, by the way. Badly. Every week for years, there's been Ikea-Runs organized on Craigslist for Portlanders heading to Seattle. The City of Portland's been a real pain in the ass for Ikea to work with financially, so it seems we'll never get one. Way to go, Portland! Discourage that growth, push the big businesses to the freaking suburbs!

Ok, now I'm certain that when they do open an IKEA in Portland, people will die.

Seriously Claire, I can totally see myself using "whateverishly", as in "I felt whateverishly about it." I love David Sedaris.

They don't call us "Little Beirut" for nothing

I'm no Ikea fan, not by a long shot, but if they built it, I would go. Just not anytime soon after it was built. I think Portland would benefit from having one though.
