Black friday

[Bun-bun]

The past two weeks I've been inundated with emails and adverts for black Friday sales, pre-black Friday sales, some stores are opening at 4am this year.
Does anyone really go shopping at 4 o'clock in the friggin' morning?

Is it "black" Friday cause all these idiots get up when it's pitch black outside?

Biggest shopping day of the year as well as the biggest idiot day of the year.

I worked at Toys R Us for the season when I was 15. We opened at 4am on Black Friday and people were already lining up at 2am!

  "The idea behind the term "Black Friday" is that this is the day in which retail stores have enough sales to put them "in the black" - an accounting expression that alludes to the practice of recording losses in red and profits in black."

I'll pay full price thank you very much.  No way in HELL I'm shopping unless it's online.

What could be so great about shopping at 4 AM?

I would gladly pay full price versus having to deal with rabid throngs of mouth-breathers clamoring for "the deal".

My idea of "shopping" is knowing which store has it, going there, going directly to it, buying it, and getting the hell out and on the way back to my antisocial lair.

Someone needs to show up at one of these lineups with a chalkboard and give a lesson on opportunity cost.

It's 4am... Sac Duc and I are on the road to the toy store...

And by toy store I mean Duck-Stew's shop.
And by toys I mean a '71 CB350 and a 2005 Ducati 999!!! 


It's 460 miles to Albuquerque
We've got a full tank of gas
Half a cup o' coffee
It's dark outside
And we're wearing sunglasses...

HIT IT!!!

The line at Toys R Us began at 8pm tonight

And without exaggeration

Went around the store and to the college next door

It was 36 and raining
