So it begins

[Raduque]

Dud I'm bored have some extra money and want a new laptop, and don't want to wait for shipping.

KK, wha... you want me to catch wolf?

 

[preslove]

That is a $400 laptop with an extra 1 gig of ram.

 

[dud]

Raduque,

This news story was written just for you:

Black Friday sales ... and the $400 computer


I especially liked this:

"People will line up at 5 [a.m.] for the doorbuster deals," he said. "There'll be a little bit of frenzy for the $400 computer. And it will all be over by 10 [a.m]."

 

[ja1484]

They'll have about 8 to 10 of those laptops, tops. I did a brief stint at Best Buy during my college years, which included working a black friday. Obviously, this being AT, I was in computer sales. They intentionally stock BF loss leaders at single digit levels so they simply can't lose money on many.

Bad as retail market is right now, they've probably dipped their stock even more. IF you get the "pleasure" of speaking with an "associate", you'll have all of 10 seconds before they steer you towards the regularly priced models.

And you're a downsie.

Fuckin' morons here near NoVa have been camping out since noon in front of the BB.

You can't teach common sense ...

I just drove up by BestBuy, and there were probably 100 people standing in line, and maybe 20 tents.

But I had "Head Like a Hole" playing, and I turned it up a bit because one guy asked me to (I stopped to talk to them). About 3/4 of the line started singing the chorus and some were dancing, haha. I'm going back up because the one guy invited me to his tent, so I'll get to be like....12th in line.

 

[rh71]

lol @ tents. 10 years from now they'll let people line up by cars.

Is it worth having sex with a dude to be 12th in line?

As long as I bring the proper lube, I don't see why it would be a problem.

Last I checked (probably a few years ago) Best Buy guaranteed a minimum quantity of each of the loss leaders in the flyer.

There were people in line at the local Best Buy last night around 5:45 in the afternoon. Wtf? Glad that our society has its priorities straight; deals on material shit are obviously far more important than spending a day with loved ones.

Think about your in-laws and reconsider that statement.


What I'm saying is if you'd rather spend a day with your relatives than do...shit, anything really, then fine. But you're an anomaly.

I don't have in-laws to deal with, but seriously, you dislike your family/SO that much that you have no qualms with just foregoing the holiday altogether? I think you're the anomaly. I may not get along with my family all the time, but I only get to really see them a few times a year so I'll take that over saving a couple bucks on something.

No, but it's a much better joke that way.

Funny related factoid: I spent today alone with my parent's dogs at their house in the sticks. They're on vacation in Europe til next week and I'm house/pet sitting for 'em. If I'm lyin, I'm dyin.

Jesus Christ son, facetiousness! Facetiousness! Breathe, perhaps chuckle a bit, and then move on. It'll be ok!
