I was in the Vancouver IKEA, and they have a children's play area that was packed. There must have been 100 kids in there, some being watched from outside and some completely unattended.

Without warning, the power went out. There were emergency lights but the play area was still quite dark. The kids all started shrieking and crying and running around in the darkness.

The power probably only out for 2 minutes, but the chaos was spectacular. When the lights came back on, it looked like a battleground. Some kids were bruised and bloodied, some had the 1000-yard stare of a war veteran. There were a few who had bonded together in the tunnels and refused to leave. Some were missing entirely - they must have escaped in the shadows into the well-furnished maze that is IKEA.

The meatballs were good too. Overall 10/10, but the bar was set high and no future visits could compare to that eventful day.



Once upon a time I took de_train to get to de_office so I could get de_cache, to build de_stadium out of de_cobblestone. Then I spent all de_cache on de_nuke, and nuked my town, and it all burnt down in de_inferno, sadly it was just de_mirage, caused by de_vertigo I get due to my allergy of de_dust. So I bought new glasses because I didn't want de_dust 2 get in my eyes. De_end.
