This is a 2-part entry in 2 parts.

There are literally 2 or 3 hundred people lined up outside the new Ikea store in Stoughton. Some of them have been there for hours. According to the Weather Channel, it's 31 degrees in Stoughton right now. The store doesn't even open until nine - a good 2 hours from now.

Let's recap.

1 mediocre furniture store that sells cheap furniture cheap.
2 hours.
31 degrees.
2 or 3 hundred people the world would be better off without.

On a completely unrelated note, I would like to nominate the original Nerf Bow-and-Arrow commercial as pretty much the best commercial in all of history. You know the one I'm talking about - it had a bunch of kids jumping through the woods, dressed up like tiny commandos, all leapin' and yellin' and carrying on like kids do. Yeah. Wasn't that freakin' awesome?!
