Ikea is coming! Ikea is coming!
And the maddest of props go to Dave, whose online petition was no doubt the straw that broke the Swedish camel’s back.
On an unrelated note, I’ve now had three people meet me after reading this site and all have the same reaction — that I’m taller than they imagined. (I’m 6’1” — hardly a giant. Have you been to a high school lately? All the boys are 9’4”.) Is there something about my writing style that makes people think I’m short?
