Black Friday
Ah, well, we did the Turkey thing yesterday which was a good thing. I didn’t eat too much.
I’m going to go through my list O links and purge some of them and add some others. Years ago, in another blog life, I used to pal around with this chick. If she talks like she writes, I have to wonder if she ever comes up for air.
Reading through the news today, I’m glad that I didn’t, nor ever will, participate in the so called Black Friday nonsense. I mean, c’mon, people. People die because there’s a sale at Wal?
A worker died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers when a suburban Wal-Mart opened for the holiday sales rush Friday, authorities said.
Also, there’s this video of people going absolutely bonkers over the last Xbox at Wal. In some of the comments I see people shouting that Wal should be sued. Bullshit, I say. The problem isn’t Wal, it’s the mullet-wearing, tooth-missing, inbred, Natural Light drinking, half-shirt wearing, Trans Am up on the blocks in the back yard waiting for the next welfare check to “git ‘er up and runnin’” dolts that are to blame. My God, people, have some pride, will ya? I appreciate a deal as much as the next person, but ... I know that my above characterization sounds horribly elitist, but really, next time you go to WalMart, take a look around you and tell me what you see. Not all, I know, but just take a look around.
Anyway, on this Black Friday, instead of participating in it, I’m staying at home bitching about it. It’s much more fun.
