Black Friday Madness!

[Sportsdude]

Well I'm back from work now its 4am (2am PT) and there are people camping out at the corner game store and there's a line of atleast 10 people at CompUSA. This is Insane. I'm off to Target.  If I don't get the system I'll atleast get some games with it.
 
 I'll report back through out the day. lol its going to be an adventure  

[Sportsdude]

Omg, what a waste of time.
I get to the place that is the only place selling these things today and what do they say? Sorry we don't have them. lol.

Went to Best Buy for the hell of it. There's 5,000 people in there. Cops are outside hundreds of people camping out.  Thought about buying the Zelda game even though I don't have the system yet. But It would have taken me hours just get checked out and I know the game will always be there so really what was the point.

Crazy utter craziness. Going shopping on this day is pointless.

Atleast I discovered a cool coffee shop/restuarant in Kaldi's. Had a salmon crepe with a small coffee awesome place.  Watched the sun come up and then went home. lol
 

[P.C.]

So I guess you could say it's more like Greyish Friday.

[Sportsdude]

what do you mean?
Its just crazy out there no point in shopping at all!
Unless you like to wait for hours to check something out and like the feeling of clauster phobia.  Then this is a day for you seriously never again.

Its probably best just to stay home, sleep in, then make a hearty breakfast, then watch a good movie.

[Sportsdude]

yeah I'm getting sleepy.
And those leftovers sound really good in a couple hours.
Still haven't touched the homemade pumpkin pie.
Still have half a turkey left
a lot of stuffing left
plus if I don't feel like turkey I can always make some mexican food or go to the mexian buffet by my house for 6 bucks.

Today is not a good day to go shopping unless you're somekind of addict seriously. its nuts. Would have taken me hours just to check out something at Best Buy. lol

What the heck is Black Friday? And what does it mean?

[Gopher]

The day after thanksgiving, when they start buying their Christmas things  (I think).

[Lise]

Hm. I see. It's crazy on the news. Looks like post-Christmas rush.

[Gopher]

Maybe they have their sales BEFORE Christmas in the US?

[Sportsdude]

 yeah its nuts. Mad hysterial super long lines.  I was at best buy at 5am and if I had bought anything it would have taken hours just to check out of the place. The place was so packed you couldn't move.  It was like going to a party thats in a room the can hold 100 people but 300 people show up instead.    

[kingy]

christmas sales starts the day after thanksgiving in the states, where as in canada, it doesnt start until boxing day.

[Sportsdude]

Yeah we don't get the whole boxing day thing.  

[Lise]

I avoid the malls during Boxing Day. It's crazy. I hate crowds. Ppl are so pushy and mean and for what? Save a few bucks on items that's probably been sitting in the back shelf since last year?

  My sister who worked in the mall once told me that they take all the good stuff away and put up last year's item so they can clear inventory. That's the secret of 'sales'.

[Sportsdude]

yeah here people go nuts for the 100 dollar 32 inch LCD HD TV that Best Buy puts out every year. I don't know why people go nuts its from a company I've never heard of.
Could have gotten a Bose stereo system for 400 bucks but I didn't think it was worth it. I really only want 1 thing and the stores are hoarding those at the moment. So the best part of the morning was watching the sun come up at Kaldis drinking coffee and eating a salmon crepe. mmmmm.  Watching the craziness around you is fun.
