When the going gets tough…
The tough go shopping! Yep, today will probably be the biggest shopping day of the entire year! I hope you got up early to catch all the crazy bargains to be found. If not, you could have called Target and scheduled a wake up call from Kermit the Frog so you don’t miss out on the mad rush to buy everything in sight. A number of stores are reportedly giving away free gift cards in various amounts to people that arrived early. There are also reports of people getting free laptops at some Wal-Mart stores. These companies are just going nuts to lure people in to spend their last dimes.Those are nice incentives.
There have also been a number of incidents reported where shoppers have actually called the police to report people cutting in lines! How crazy is that? People purposely knocking packages out of each others arms and fist fights over prized bargains can only mean one thing! Make sure you are well armed when you go out there. I suggest a collapsible club hidden in your purse along with a couple cans of pepper spray for the really stubborn ones that just refuse to give it up! For the ultimate shopper stopper though you just can’t beat a Tazer! A few thousand volts is guaranteed to have them flopping on the floor like a fish, making it a lot easier for you to cut the line or force them to drop all the goodies! Hell yeah!
What, me go shopping? Hah, are you crazy? I’m staying home and shopping online, them people scare the hell out of me!

I wish I had that taser this morning around 6:30am at Best Buy. After waiting in line for an hour, two guys tried to sneak in line. I gave them my meanest look and a piece of my mind to boot! AND I had not had any coffee so is it any wonder those guys slunk away
Honey went out at 5 am to get the one Black Friday sale item we wanted.
He’s such a nice guy–he let me sleep in while he did it.
Se7en’s Black Friday shopping trip:
To Home Depot, 24 4×8 sheets drywall, nails, studs.
Just what everybody needs for Christmas.
Damn, I should have had one of those collapsible clubs this morning. I’m with you, I’m doing the rest of my shopping on-line!
I never go out on Black Friday. However, I might go next year and set up a lawn chair over to the side just to watch the taser and clubbing action going on in the lines.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Shopping online is the only way to go!
i bought a jar of peanut butter and a container of yogurt today–otherwise participated quite well with “National Buy Nothing Day”.
Then again, Consumerism seems to be the official religion of the 21st century, after building steadily over the last one. These people are just overcome by bliss while worshipping at the churches of their choice! They can’t be held responsible for their actions!
I spent my day with a gun… huntin’ deer, not bargains. Its wild out there, and I mean the shopping.
Honey, I’m a woman and they scare me!
:-: i never do black friday.online sounds good.happy turkey day.
Love the t-shirt saying BTW ;).
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
I never shop when its crowded. Online shopping saves LOTS of time and ultimately saves bigs bucks. Now how do I make that a catchier slogan for my art business website?
I stayed home. You know, in my opinion, if the stores could spread out the great bargains they have to offer, they wouldn’t have to try to make all their profits on this ONE DAY, making shoppers crazy and hiring security and police. I don’t want ANYTHING bad enough to fight that madness. Even if it’s free.
No black Friday shopping for me! I don’t want anything that badly. I will say my boys have been exploring the cost of the new XBox online. Yikes!!!
Yeah, but unless you’ve planned ahead and ordered them online, you’re gonna have to go to the store for the club and tazer.
You couldn’t have paid me to go out yesterday… well, perhaps a cool million might have done it
Shopping online is the way to go.
Have a fabulous weekend. *HUGS*
AMEN, se7en!!!
Tazer… hmmm… good idea.
I’m with Karen. No amount of cashola (well…maybe..) could get be out to the stores on the day after Thanksgiving. Sheer self torture - that’s what I think!
They can all keep their rampant commercialism - I’m sitting at home with my scrooge hat (besides, we are already done) and enjoying the stoopid news reports!
I’m with Miss N’Awlins Laurie.. a couple beers, a comfy lawnchair, and a great (safe) place to set up for viewing, not paticipating.. NEXT year! That could become a wayfun annual event!
Maybe a bunch of us shooting bloggers, all lined up in lawnchairs, weapons prominently displayed, how cool is ZAT, hahahaaaa
Poinks n hugz atcha sweetie! Nice post.
I had to go to work. Those people were literally running others off the road so they didn’t get to the stores before them!
Next time I need to be at work by 6, I am leaving at FOUR!
I’ve decided to bring a tazer gun with me when I go shopping… And to the movies… You know, for those line cutters.
You can’t talk to them, you have to render them unconscious.
Yeah, we refused to venture to anything related to shopping. I’d rather pay a little extra than to deal with that crap.
