    Default My story of fame

    Just thought I'd mention this funny thing that happened.

    I went to Ikea and had lunch one day. The next day, I got an email from a guy who asked -

    was that you at Ikea yesterday? I work in the kitchen and I thought it looked like you!

    He said he was a big fan - had seen my videos and website and was apparently excited to see me for real!

    I just though it was kinda weird but funny...

    Talking

    I don't think I've ever even seen an Ikea, much less been in one.

    It's a restaurant?

    For some reason I was thinking furnishings.

    Either way, congrats Robert! :

    Ikea does both furniture AND lunch!

    Egos? What are you talking about - I thought it was just such a silly event to happen. I have no problem keeping my ego in check; anyone who knows me would know that.

    Ikea sell a lot of useful stuff, just watch this:
