If I had a million dollars, I'm fairly certain I could spend it all in Ikea and feel okay about it. And what better than to enjoy a bag of Swedish fish while carrying that lovely yellow tote bag around? Even better is the fact that Ikea is environment-friendly. Plus, who needs a gym when you've got Ikea? Hey, it's better than Wal-Mart. Ikea makes me even prouder to have Swedish blood running through my veins.

After about ten minutes following your significant other around with the tote bag, having only looked at the fake magazines they use for filler in their 'rooms' the biggest drawback to Ikea is: they have so much stuff. The idea of Ikea is great, but it gets really boring really quickly. Having to cart crap around either in a bag or in a cart for all of that time is more than the American male was originally intended for. We are up to rising to any occasion, but a trip all the way through Ikea just to look around is way more than any man should be expected to endure. Even if we like something we see in Ikea, it's never worth finding it in the warehouse, hauling out to the car, getting it home and putting it together. While a great lure for women and the uber-shopper alike, if every store I had to shop at were like Ikea, I would be able to take my leave of being an almighty American consumer, and go back to being a couch potato. (but what will I sit on?) The allure of Ikea is that they have so much stuff under one roof.

You wander around and even if you like something how are you going to describe it..."There were these multi-colored shelves called some unpronounceable Swedish name" that about describes half the stuff in the store... Another thing that would help get the guys into and through the store...regular refreshment stops and tall blonde Swedish girls in French maid outfits...yep, that would work and you might even try to learn a few Swedish phrases...

I lucked out not having to go for the three mile hike last weekend due to a knee injury. I was laughing the whole time while reading this.
