I'm visiting Ireland next month and I'm going to enjoy barhopping mid-day legally under the hot-hot heat. I fucking loathe summer, but everything is better when you can scoff at your home country while sipping premium beverages under the banner of vacation. WOO!

Now I'm glad I'm not going to Ireland next month (was originally planning to).

Was considering bumping the Stoner Rock thread... but NAD doesn'T post here anymore...

Did I tell you guys I finally made it to an IKEA?
It kinda sucked. It was a strange crowd. Yeah, I'm being judgmental but there *appeared* to be ALOT of rednecks there.
The stuff is cheap because IT IS CHEAP. Fiberboard, all of it. Yet, what costs $100 at West Elm, you can get at IKEA for $50....if you pick it up yourself. With shipping, it's just as expensive as West Elm.

Also, there were no hot chicks there. What's the deal with that?

in sweden ikea is a "furniture store" where you "buy furniture" not some dramatic and newfangled haven of ironic hipster culture like you seem to think

Well that reply came two seconds after the ninja edit. Didn't want to hijack the thread with talk about a low quality furniture store. I have no doubt that the demographic that peruses the yellow and blue aisles of this chain is far removed from the hipsters who shop for their particle board coffee tables on their downtime. Same shmoes you see loitering outside of Coffeebean for 3 hours during mid-day.

whatever

ikea is cool they make stuff thats affordable and clean looking

it is not "hip" here it is for middle class families with crying smelly babies

I hear ye. You just need to visit Los Angeles one day, you're whole worldview would change. (For the worse)
