Ikea bigger than the Bible


You may have heard that the Bible is the greatest. Well, it is not, as Ikea' s information about shelves, lamps and beds is printed in more copies worldwide.

Not the Bible nor Shakespeare or Harry Potter come even close to the Swedish furniture giant. The Ikea catalogue is being printed in more copies than the Bible, according to Dagbladet.

130 million catalogues are just around the corner, in 28 different languages. A total of 36 countries around the world are waiting to receive this year's catalogue, full of flat packed, cheap furniture.

Last year 286 million people visited one of Ikea's 175 stores worldwide and they left a total of NOK 130 billion in the shops.

Okay.

First, how does Dagbladet know so much?

Second, people should be more careful with their NOKs.

Well mommy is 34, so given the mores of "white trash america" (we'll leave this topic for another thread), my guess is that the proud son would have to be 16 or 17 at most.

I might point out that it is not that "white trash america" uniquely finds itself in the family way (or engages in activities that could ultimately result it finding itself in the family way) during early teen/late teen/pre-marriage years. Those higher on the pole of society more typically use birth control, the morning after pill, or glorified coat hangers. Just because the evidence is more obvious when the teen mother has and keeps the baby does not mean that those mothers' morals are lesser.

Inspiration is not a prerequisite to posting. In fact, the two are generally mutually exclusive.

As evidenced by your posts.

You just answered your own question, porky.

no idea, but I do know that they are planning to drag on, er, I mean extend, the season for 2 more episodes --

Rather than air the finale of Big Brother 4 opposite the debut of Survivor Pearl Islands, CBS has ordered two more episodes of the show, pushing its finale back to Sept. 24, the same evening that ABC debuts The Bachelor 4. Six house guests currently remain. Last week, the show revealed its latest twist, which involved allowing the house guests to bid on "how many weeks they would be willing to inflict a peanut butter and jelly diet on the entire" group; the winner bid the most number of weeks. As Jam! Showbiz reports, "Fans who have leveled harsh criticism at CBS and the show's producers Arnold Shapiro and Alison Grodner for the lack of big money prizes and imaginative surprises this year, were swift in condemning the 'twist' as an absolute letdown."

Yeah, how exactly was putting the veto before the nom supposed to really have any shocking twisty impact?

maybe nobody will get voted off or maybe they will bring Dana back in. Yawn.

Please, it is far to late for this flimsy self-defense of your own honor.

Stop waxing woeful over the delta of your maidenhead, we all know that you are familiar with the business end of a corn cob.

They mentioned at the close of yesterday's broadcast that

two houseguests would be leaving on the next show.

I have no clue how that happens, but it sounds intriguing.

Okay, I'll rephrase the question. Why should Pencil-Dick have all the fun?

SPOILER SPACE





















D.Hantuchova (9) 6 77


J.Vakulenko 0 65

A bagel (the kind without those naughty carbs) followed by a tie break won at 7-5. the interesting part is she was up 5-1 in the tie break. The 300 calories she ate yesterday had probably just run out. Granted, I didnt see the match, but this is a fucked score. She was heavily (no pun) favored to win the match from a talent comparison basis.

EDITED TWICE- first in a futile attempt to line up the scores and second to provide totally unnecessary spoiler space sine I am willing to bet that nobody cares about the results of this match. I barely do myself since Hantuchova aint a contendrix until she starts eating. But it was interesting to note the score.

Bitch please. I have no need to defend my own honor, nor did I.

The Bravo website is conducting a poll: Who's your favorite Queer Eye straight guy?

The current standings:

Brian S. 19%
Adam Z. 4%
Tom K. 11%
John B. 40%
Vincent T. 6%
Andrew L. 9%
John V. 12%

It figures John B. is winning by such a large margin, because the demographics compel that a closeted gay man will win as Best SG. However, I am taken aback that Adam Z. is doing so poorly compared to Tom K. and Andrew L. I mean, this is so obviously a popularity contest. Tom K. was dumber than a box of Ahmad Rashads (apologies to Less).

My concern for this show is that eventually they will run out of B&T types who don't know that distinguishable individual eyebrows are in.

Also, Bravo is doing an expose of unscripted TV shows starting the week of September 8th called "The Reality of Reality." Thought you might like to know.

And fuck Fox for cancelling both "Keen Eddie" and "Lucky." Fuck them all to hell.

Woman Only Dates On National Television Now
HOLLYWOOD—After stints on Temptation Island, The Bachelor, and For Love Or Money, 23-year-old bartender/model Angela Langdon announced Monday that she refuses to date anyone who's not courting her in a front of a national TV audience. "Unless there's the promise of a million-dollar payday, a romantic evening in the tropics, or a humiliating rejection in front of all of America, I'm not interested," Langdon told potential suitors. "Come with cameras, or don't come at all." Langdon also expressed a preference for network shows over those in syndication.
