A bridge too far

Those of us who have never outgrown our college frugality or nerdness love Ikea.

Their clever showrooms, their modern Swedish design, their wacky yet practical furniture...what is not to love? To top it off, they name everything in Swedish, so you can buy my favorite lamp, the Flygel, or a bookshelf called Jornalist...but now they have gone too far with the names.

I present, and I am not joking, Fartfull.

Are those crazy Swedes from Ikea just sitting around laughing at us, or what?

ROTFL! Good one Sue :)
Apparently the word means "speedy" in Swedish. The design looks pretty weird too I think.
