I was out of place, one guy had unicorns coming out of clouds on each of his calfs.

(Not taking pics of men's legs sorry)

Group buy on calf tattoos?

Why is a guy in Ikea is a better question.

Edit: The meatballs are good I hear so I guess that is why.

I don't think I have ever seen an Ikea store.

I have seen their commercials on tv and does not look like my kind of place.

My "favorite" calf tattoo was on a (fat KBR/Flour type logcap) contractor in Kandahar: Chuck Norris.

No freakin' kidding!

It was all we could do to not laugh out loud when we saw him (in the DFAC on those occasions when we didn't eat in our own DFAC).

Ligonberry juice from the soda dispenser is good shit and probably the only thing that calms me down on the bi-annual trips to the local Ikea.

Their vibrator/get organized commercials are pretty good, though.

It's those "bad boys" that got their SO knocked up. They don't have the $$ to shop for baby furniture at real furniture places...

Real question is WHY ARE GROWN MEN IN IKEA?

I still can't fathom why someone with any common sense at all wakes-up one morning and decides that perforating their skin with permanent ink is a really good idea.....And then calls and makes a appointment to do so.....much less pay big bucks for it.

I never thought I would hear from what I considered a normally sensible person the words " I gotta get mah sleeve finished". I swear, I thought he was talking about his clothes till he showed me this tribal looking thing running down his arm. I asked him if he was a Indian or something.

My 2 1/2 son has a train addiction like the world has never seen. He wakes up going "shoo shoo" and it doesn't change at all during the day. The boy lives and breathes trains. Ikea has these wooden trains and tracks he likes...so I went to buy more of them. Yes, they sell wooden trains at Wal-Mart and such stores but they are bigger, heavier with 4 axles that articulate....he prefers just simple, light 2 axle trains....and they have 'em.

Eat some meatballs, stare at some MILFs, stop being so emotional about it.

I love IKEA and make it a point to go to the closest one around me when I travel. Austria's was the cleanest but Utah's had the hottest chicks. A close second was Vegas. Seattle and PDX

I've been to two Ikea stores. One in New Jersey and the other in Virginia.
Didn't see any calf tattoos. Is it a new thing?

Ikea seems to be a once-every-12-years thing for me.

Meatballs, cheap furniture - and out. (Edit: that is NOT 'out of the closet'

)

So, staying in there for now huh? It's ok - you'll get more secure as time goes on. Stay strong.

I thought the meatballs were made of horse meat....Or was that just in France?

I like ikea, I do not like all the dweeb inky hipsters that shop there though.

You can find some cool stuff there but most their furniture is shitty low quality stuff that looks really cool.

The horse meatballs are good too.

One of the many things I miss about AZ... An IT world where "business casual" was shorts and a nice polo.

We drove up to the DC area from NC back in 2010 for the VT / BSU game and I saw one of the Ikea stores off the Jeff Davis Hwy or I-95 (Woodbridge?) on our way up to the Redskins stadium in Landover MD. Always sort of regretted not stopping by to check it out. I like Scandinavian furniture.

Here in ID, we have what would probably pass as young Aryan couples grocery shopping at the Winco in Eagle with "Hitler Legacy" tattooed on their calves. I was sort of surprised when I saw that given all the leftards that are moving up here.

Must be from up north....

Going to Ikea is worse than going to Homegoods. My wife dragged me into both stores and they are miserable places. I had to go back to Homegoods to carry some shit out and they have benches in the vestibule where the men sit if they don't want to stay in the car. Every guy I saw inside Homegoods looked like he'd been neutered. It was scary. It took me twice as many trips to get the goods to the car because I kept my left hand on my nutsack....
