I love Ikea, not sure why, as most of the stuff is sub-quality crap, but I do. In Sweden it is viewed as the K-Mart of furnishing stores. Some stuff is decent though, and a good place for a student to pick up a cheap dining set or desk of 1/2 decent quality. I always scavenge through the "as is" where sometimes you can really get a bargoon. If I'm not in a rush I'll accidentally "drop" one of the heavy packages on its corner while trying to load it myself, then come back in a week or so and see if it's in the as is yet..
Sheena, that last bin, of 'amateur' cork-pullers, brings back a memory.
About 20 years ago, my then girlfriend and I, had her brother and his babe over, and after we smoked a quarter-pounder, I delicately peeled off the wrap and wire, of a bottle of Veuve-Clicqout, and proceeded to slap one of those mechanical contraptions on it...
Now, understand, that I have always loved Champagne, before and after that event, and not just on New Year's Eves...
Somehow, it actually worked, but I, deservedly, slightly cut my hand, in the process...
That was (is), 91 Weed .
If you smoke it, and then, for whatever reason, ever have to call 911 ... you will only get to 91...

Did you buy anything?
Yes. A wok, some tealight candles, some picture frames.
I once left my kids at the ballroom in IKEA and by the time I got through IKEA, I'd forgot I even HAD kids.

Hmmm...Sheena...
I might try this, sometime, instead of occupying myself with slobberin' poetry attempts...
Any Ikeas open at 3am, in the GTA?
I'm anti-IKEA and would be scared to go into one if I'd been drinking.... they're frustrating and confusing enough places sober.
FUN!
Being drunk is the best way to shop in IKEA.
Unfortunately I only have enough money for drinking or shopping, but not both.
