FAQs
So Cubs fans, do you feel lucky and do you need a new sofa?

A furniture store in Libertyville, Ill. will let all items purchased between March 30 and April 29 be free (presumably you have to save the receipts) if the Cubs end up winning the World Series this year.

The link relates earlier promotions like this. A furniture store in Los Angeles did something similar last December, but over a shorter time period, and only for a win by UCLA over USC in football.

It's a furniture thing, you wouldn't understand.

... and if the Cubs lose the Series on a bang-bang play with a questionable call, would this be the Fall of the Ottoman Umpire?

(yup ... its Friday ... and I'm tired) :-(

What I want to know is, no matter what degree of Cubs fandom you might have, why the hell you would drive all the way out to Libertyville for a couch? Seriously?

Now IKEA...that's another story entirely. You don't want to mess with the Swedes.
