IKEA

And another one bites the dust....

Ah, my anti-establishmentarian friend, you have become one of the consuming masses. Another lemming in the corperate race to squash out any traces of individuality in the modern mass consumer centered world.....It is cheap though....and so convienient....where is it again? But I digress. Back to my main point; Do you really eat enough garlic to need a press for that express purpose? Wow. That's a lot of garlic.

Re: And another one bites the dust....

Yes, Lucas, we do eat that much garlic. It's in everything we make, we are garlic junkies. :)

You try mincing 4-5 cloves a night and see how long it takes you to go get a garlic press!

In defense of my consumption, IKEA is environmentally and eco-freindly, conscientous of their workers/factories, I guess to put it simply, they are Swedish, the most social of the socialists.
The cool thing about IKEA, too, is that the products are produced in minimal quantities (per se, they obviously sell hundreds of thousands, even millions, of the items, but there are only so many IKEAs and so many made. This, of course, raises the odds of the guy across the street having the same entertainment center as you, but not as much so as say Sears or JCPenny, where you can guarantee the guy across the street has it and the guy in the mobile home in Alabama).
But hey, I am going to justify it any way I can, after all, I am giving them a lot of my hard earned income.
And, yes, as Cori said, we eat enough garlic to keep vampires blocks away.

I hate IKEA so much. So many people everywhere and nowhere to escape! but they have a giant bookshelf i want so you know...it's a necessary evil. i guess.

i usually go in the exit. it's easier that way.

I, of course, love IKEA.
They have pictures of the designers who designed the products.
They are so pro-design and design friendly.
That is a great thing to me.
Not to mention the prices and the quality, which for the most part, is low and high.
And where else can you get a heart shaped cushion called a FAMNIG HJÄRTA?
If you have not been here, another reason to love IKEA:

I have a lot of respect for someone that can laugh at themselves.

Oops, forgot to sign in for that one.

Well, in all fairness, I shouldn't have said "I hate IKEA." I'd love IKEA if it wasn't for the masses of people and the claustrophobia! So, minus those things...I dig it. In fact, wandering around in there (AIGA Prisma awards) after it had closed was really nice.

(i have that heart pillow!)

I am familiar with the 'great' Van De Puup. ;)

I agree, you won't be sharing these wonderful designer digs with the masses of trailer trash...at least not any American ones. Do they have trailer parks in Sweden? Anyway, as long as the price is right....Funny how a socalist country can be so good at capitalisim, they sure started a fan favorite with IKEA....
