Josh, the food part of it is sorta like a food court in a mall, essentially. Cept it's not like, multiple eating places (I don't think... it's been like 10 years since I've been to an Ikea). It's just cos the store's so big and you can spend so much time there. :lol:

been to ikea twice in my career as a furiture shopper.

there's one in houston, and i didn't know they sold food.

they have a desk called the carlos samuel. that's my brother's first and middle name. he wants that desk. :freak:
Whenever death may surprise us,

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Why is it called Carlos Samuel? Shouldn't all Ikea stuff have Swedish names? or is that too confusing for you texans? :P
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

On a semi-related note to the desk thing... there's a shoe brand that's Nicole René. Unfortunately, they make hideous shoes, otherwise I'd buy me a pair. :nod:
