HEAD & HEAD FOOT!!!!! – $70

Fun fact: Head Foot in Greek is “Cephalopod.” So it appears they’re selling a headboard set and a squid.
Of course, this is probably one of those confusing IKEA squid that you have to put together yourself from a pictorial instruction sheet assembled, ransom-note style, from Scotch taped cutouts of various European road safety signs.
And there’s always parts left over, too. However, unlike with IKEA furniture, you can at least deep-fry the leftover parts and serve them with marinara sauce. Mmm… marinara sauce.
Wait, what the hell was I talking about?
Thanks for the post, Windrose!
Head foot, straw foot! Head foot, straw foot!
shoulders knees and toes… knees and toes….
You said shoulders knees! hur hur hur.
Add in that business regarding feeling up her staff from yesterday, and I’m all sorts of confused.
If one’s shoulder knees are a foot, one is forced to ponder what one is measuring them with (and how they are shod) . . .
Perhaps this explains the happy disposition of all the farriers I have met.
Where’s Inana, someone else is wearing her shoulder knees!
Somewhere in Sweden, a squid sheds a tear for dumb Sparkies everywhere.
Yes, here in the dense forest of cell tower palms, it’s possible to see head foot squid leaping from fake branch to fake branch. They feed on Sparky brain waves. It’s estimated only 40 currently exist in the wild. The limited food supply is the number one cause of head foot death.
You’re welcome. 8)
Now I’m picturing brain slugs swinging through the trees.
And narration by Sir David Attenborough . . .
♪♫ The head bone’s connected to the… foot bone! ♪♫
Oh, and:
♪♫ You put your head foot in, and you shake it all about… ♪♫
You do the Snarky Sparky as you turn your ad around. That’s what it’s all about.
Except at IKEA, it’s not called a squid, it’s called a Snöjrkrstfisk.
Gesundheit.
Or, “Pjørkë” for no reason at all.
[aside]Unc’ Giggle translate asserts that “bläckfisk” is Swedish for octopus & Cuttle fish, with “tioarmad”or “tioarmad bläckfisk” for Squid.[/aside]
Head Foot Instructions.
A possible complication.
You can get a cream for that from your doctor.
Every time I try to assemble the IKEA squid (Snöjrkrstfisk) I end up with Cthulhu. I might be doing something wrong….
I LOVE the Snarky Sparky!!!!!!!! It really is what it’s all about!!!!!!! Let’s dance, Meg!
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues!
Dear Sparky,
Oh no, you cannot just nail some boards to the ends of the shutters and call it a ‘head and head foot’.
Checks Ikea assembly instructions.
Oh.
My bad.
Meatballs,

I don’t think they put it together right, I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be a hatrack.
Really? Cuz I was thinking it was supposed to be an entertainment center, but what do I know.
I always thought the bed WAS an entertainment center. Hmmm…. I never thought about using a hatrack. KINKY…… What do you think, Windy?
I think it’s an ironing board.
But has it been vaccinated for hoof and mouth?
In Soviet Russia, IKEA Snöjrkrstfisk you.
Edit:
Er, imagine this up there near Camille…
Don’t look now, but…
Tonight’s nightmare fuel brought to you by Duckie!
Totally not snuggly. But may be my next Gravitar. 8)
excellents conditions too, my precioussessess …
I believe most of the confusion stems from the fact that Ikea instructions are translated from Swedish to English by people who have no knowledge of either language.
TC, I hope you have learned much about snark from ghostie. It’s not every day you get to be in the box with a master. Er, mistress? ER. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Ingvar Kamprad!
