Quote:I long for the days when Sundays, never mind Holidays, were truly special- quiet, no traffic, Sunday dinner then maybe a family activity. Now, like Sammy, I just start drinking about 10AM. 

 

Oh come on, I don't start drinking the hard stuff until 11am.

 

Quote:I love Black Friday. Great entertainment. I get to watch the news and youtube and see all the idiots and animals fight each other to save ten bucks on a tv.

 

It's the re-incarnation of bumfights or the bad girls club or something.

 

As far as myself, I don't leave the house. In fact, I dig a moat, and fill it with alligators, just in case shoppers try to fight over left overs on my porch or something.

 

 

I haven't ever been through any BF shopping scenes like that. I guess it could be because of the places I do shop on Black Friday? ... which would be places like Lowes, Home Depot, "Man Stores". Heck, as far as I know those places stayed with the Black Friday (not Thanksgiving) shopping spree theme. I think the stories, or occurrences are blown out of proportion as a typical BF scene. If some crazy Black Friday story happened in Atlanta, it would be hyped like it is the norm. The crazy scenes seen online, and on the news aren't the norm ... or at least nothing I have ever witnessed. Most people out shopping aren't animals, they are our family members, friends, co-workers ... etc.
 
 
I used to enjoy Black Friday shopping (until now), now that it is Black Thanksgiving evening, they have found my breaking point. Instead of shopping, I went to the gun range when it opened this morning. I had a blast and I didn't miss a minute of the Ravens/Steelers game last night. Thought I better practice in case I find myself shopping at the stores Dakota was talking about. :woot:
 
Bang! Bang! ... "I said that was my DeWalt Drill, Grandma" :verymad:
