not really excited about it, the deals don't look that good for me to camp out

I just do the prebuy-pricematch method. People that camp out are stupid.

not really. last year, a few friends and i stood in line outside a best buy in the frigging cold, and i ended up spending close to $800 (after rebates). Hadn't intended on spending that much :( Not gonna do it again.

What's black friday? Are all things on sale? Who participates this black friday?

What happens on White friday? Wheres yellow and brown? Why are they excluded all the time?

Nope. I'm working basically the whole day at Subway...we have 3 big stores right next to us that will be packed with shoppers on Friday. We're going to be torn a new butthole.

Nope. I don't want to go out in that zoo of people trying to get some deals. I'll just wait til the last minute to do my Christmas shopping, as usual.

QFT.

Nothing I've seen on the intraweb is remotely exciting. Even got the AAFES ad yesterday, nothing in there either.

I'll just chill on the couch with a warm cup of joe and laugh at all the fools on TV getting hypothermia for $20 dvd players. :D

I'm working on Friday which is good. The last time I was foolish enough to be in a mall on the Friday after was back when I was playing lots of Wolf3d. I kept thinking "Look at all these people; the chain gun sure would be useful".

I was thinking about going to WalMart and trying to buy a laptop or going BB for some items. Then I was reminded about the last time I did this. I'm not going anywhere Friday except maybe Starbucks. My time is too valuable to camp out to save a few $$. My sanity is too valuable to attempt to save a few $$.
