Gone but not forgotten: that feeling that maybe I was the ONLY inappropriate person with a slightly twisted sense of humor left in this world..
ALSO gone but not forgotten: Ingvar Kamprad -- the founder of Ikea.
Those two statements are actually connected because, upon learning of his passing, my mind immediately started to think about making an inappropriate comment about whether his family would be able to put the Ikea-branded coffin together in time for the service. And then, when I went looking for an image to accompany tonight's post, I found out that there was already a contingent of assholes like me willing to mock a man whose body wasn't even cold yet.
Ingvar, who ended up teaching me that I am not alone in my impishness (even though I should have been nicer to him as he just treated me to a complimentary birthday meal of swedish meatballs), you will be mocked -- then missed.
