So, I just returned from my first ever visit to an ikea store.  Interesting place.  Not one chainsaw for sale in the entire building!  When you ask the "Co-workers" where they keep all the Swedish chainsaws, they just look at you like your not from around here or something. 

What's with all the funny names?  Kitchen cupboards are not know as "kitchen cupboards" but as "Ankurum"  a tiolet brush was a "Bolem" made no sense whatsoever!

My wife wanted to buy a carpet named a "scorotum", guess it goes with the Swedish meatballs you can purchase as you exit the store?

Very multi-cultural experience, we went up stairs and saw two Asian chicks loading their cart up with Swedish crap, while all the white Canadians stood in a very long line waiting to buy an American coffee.

Why can't they showcase their cool stuff?  Fighter jets, tanks, chainsaws, automobiles and all the interesting stuff the Swede's are known for?  Instead we get stuck with more "use and loose" cheap disposal junk.  I always thought that was Wal-mart's job.

Just an observation. :scratch_one-s_head:
