Black Friday 2007

Not taking part in a retarded day where it might take you a few hours to get out of a check out and every one around is being a huge asshole to pinch a few pennies on the latest Britney Spears CD makes us introverts?

To me, the day isn't soo much about saving money, but more about the Christmas spirit catching fire. The buzz in the room is what makes it soo much fun. Everyone knows it's crazy to be up at 4am to go shopping...it gives all of us something to talk about.

Yes, I'm one of those guys that talks to you while in line

If that's the "Christmas spirit" then the true religion we're talking about here is voracious consumption. There are many more productive things one can do to catch the Christmas spirit ...like visit elders in a nursing home, volunteer for a soup kitchen ...or stay home and rubbing one out.

Y'all are a buncha scrooge's!

No, it's just that (a) that "competitive" aggression is contagious, and I don't like getting elbowed, or that bad feeling I get later when I realized I elbowed someone else after I come down from my "shopping rage", and ( I don't own any armor.

You call that productive? No wonder you have to work on Thanksgiving day.

You call that productive? No wonder you have to work on Thanksgiving day.

Certainly those two suggestions are more productive, both as an individual and a member of society at large, than battling crowds of fevered, morbidly obese sheeple hellbent on scarfing up the last $50 vibrating portable media player/contact lens case and standing in line for hours to save 28% on a nine-DVD set the eighth season of television show that stopped being entertaining when Clinton was in office.

The reason I'm working on Thursday is that Klute is playing in a local club, and I'm doing the lights. This is the third time he's played here, and it's sure to be a killer show.

Fuck, I thought this was a sarcastic site.

Err ... least lately day of the year I'll be shopping.

A problem easily solved by not buying people gifts.

A smattering of gift certificates and a few bottles of EWSB and bam, [annoying holiday period]1 is dealt with.

1: Insert least-hated mid-late December religious holiday here.

Er...no. We allow sarcasm, encourage it, even, but it is by no means a requirement. Some people have even been known to get carried away with the sarcasm.

Also, sarcasm comes in many styles and forms.
