The Ikea Word for Pictures is Bilder

Wash your hands before you look at the pictures?

A rare pic from inside a bathroom. Don't worry, there was no one else in there, so it's not that creepy. I got a laugh at this sign, and its "bad math" over the estimated time it would take to name 10 Ikea products. Even if you were reading off a list, it would take a lot longer! If you didn't guess, we are in the Ikea store.




Another rare thing inside the Ikea, something that is NOT for sale. Usually all the junk on the shelves is also for sale, but not these display pieces. Notice they have to label them, for people like me, who just assume everything can be bought.


It's a pony! I wonder if those tassels are uncomfortable to rest your head on. Does it matter? It's all about how the pillow looks, not about how comfy it is.


I wasn't sure if these were "real" comics or like just art things to hang up. Looks a little like AI generated images.


I didn't check, but those shoes might not have been for sale. Probably also just for display. They try and make you feel like you're in a real place, shoes included.


I've done this bit before, but I glanced across the tables-and-chairs and again felt like it was some kind of giant cafeteria or meeting hall. Do they rent the place out for events?


This little hot pad thing, I forgot what they are called, had squares that looked... familiar. We got out my friend's Lego minifigure on his keychain, and BAM! The feet locked right into place. Coincidence? Yeah, he also has the hot pepper character.


Korken? It's got a cork... in... it. A Cork-in? That can't be a coincidence, either.


Oh, they wiped a big area clean so they can put up a new display room or something over here. Kinda neat to see a big empty area, that's an odd thing to say.


I took these pictures a while ago, so I don't remember, but I think this art deco room divider thing was for sale. Which is more like normal for the Ikea store. Some things look a little crazy, but you can still buy them.


I did remember the little hover crib that Grogu rides around in is called a "pram." This chair looks like a sideways pram for Grogu!


It's the actual cafeteria in the Ikea, not the other table-chairs area. We were here kinda late, so it was already closed. No meatballs for us.


Neat display for the rainbow bags, to make them look like a rainbow.


You might not be able to tell by the lighting in the picture, but these were very minty-colored. Do I need a cheap tray for any reason? No? What a shame, it matches me so well.


Argh, even the ice cream place was closed this late. It's fun to look around, and I usually treat myself to the cheap ice cream cone. But I guess I'll get one next time.


Okay now I'm just shopping around other random stores. Check out these little rock hippo squirt guns. I like artistic stuff like this. And they figured out how to make an animal squirt gun that didn't involve sketchy trigger placement.


This is super mean. Some people are truly, deeply, horribly, freaked-out by bugs. It's questionable morality even offering this up for sale. They might need to include therapy hotline phone numbers on the packaging.


Give this to somebody. They'll "get the message." Hahaha


Cute! The little Sanrio figures are dressed like ghosts. Anyone else think about Charlie Brown and his sad ghost costume?


You know it, say it with me.... GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!


"Anime" figures at the Dollar Tree store. Does that one have a whip? What kind of anime are they watching?


Is this funny, or not-funny? Sounds kind of political. Eh, some people like this kind of thing. Be as patriotic as you want. No need to insult me, if that's what you are trying to do.


Hey! I took a picture of them assembling this Hungry Hungry Hippos game earlier. Cool to see it all put together. Looks a lot safer now, at least.


Obviously this is for when your car is parked, and turned off. But I still laughed when I saw it, imagining somebody taking a turn and spilling their lunch like an idiot.


I've taken so many pictures of Texas Roadhouse meals, I didn't feel like I needed another one. However, this was a rare occasion where they DID give my friend enough butter! All the time he asks for extra butter, and they only give one extra thing, but this time they gave an overwhelming amount! And I guess, I needed a picture of that.


Are we going with the term "devices" for wheeled things now? I always thought "devices" was an awkward word to use for stuff, but we're stuck with it.


Cool! The coin pushing machine in the Dave & Busters had Star Trek cards in it, and this place has DC Superhero cards. What a bizarre way to collect cards.


Wizard of Oz cards, too? Do you think they are counting on everybody who passes by, will be compelled to say "I'll get you, my pretty!" and give it a try?


Another game had Willy Wonka cards. I want the cards NOW!..... NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!


Awww yeah. Mongolian Barbecue dinner. We tried a new place, the food was the same great stuff, but the price was a little high and the place was... not very clean. Sorry! At least the food tasted good. I'll be nice and withhold the name of the place. Maybe we just picked a bad day to go.


Does anybody remember M.U.S.C.L.E. figures? Look it up if you need to, they had Scooby Doo versions in little packs. They need to do more things like M.U.S.C.L.E. figures style. Zoiks!
