what is black friday?

It's like mass orgy for all the bargain shoppers out there. [Usually stores have all their sales then]

[Ob.] BTW, this is HOT!!
 
This is amazing....Google is your friend people....how lazy are you? Just about every BF thread here and at ChubbyWallet you get 60 posts in and it never fails - someone asks "What's Black Friday and when is it?"

Of course now someone's going to ask what ChubbyWallet is...
 
Thanks Minendo.

I also didn't know what or when black Friday is.

I did identify some new A$$wipes on this board though.

I thought it was Pluto.....Since we get Black Friday only in US, the planet need to be smaller than Uranus otherwise it will blacken more parts of the earth.

To match the exact geography of the US (in order to include Alaska, Hawaii, PR but exclude Canada), there are also some metoriods along with the Planet Pluto which together in their combined effort, help to bring Black Friday to the US 😛
 
Black Friday where you get up at 3AM in the freaking morning, get rained on, freeze, and watch people cut into line 30 mins before the store opens preventing you from getting good deals.

Thank you Best buy for passing out Product passes ahead of time!

Yeah, but that was back when the internet was just a gleam in someone's eye. (Al Gore's😉)

Seriously, picture this - not so long ago, USENET pretty much was the internet, and its newsgroups numbered barely into the thousands. Most of the newsgroups had a small common population, so that no matter where you went, you most likely knew someone posting in it. (FYI, this was in the days before the evil windows came to lay ruin to the internet already perverted by the noobs of AOL ilk)

Prior to this, there were, at one time, BBS's accessed via 300 baud modems where anyone worth their salt could out-type the blinkin cursor and you'd have to wait to see what you'd typed. These morphed into FIDONET, which continued to persist as a large source of porn, ah hem, data, which was also on the internet.

Well, enough of the history lesson. Basically, everyone, by definition, has to be a noob, however, some of us had the (mis?)fortune to not have to force experienced folks to suffer through our "noobness". 😉

And now I'll have a :beer: 😀
 
Black friday is for everyone who thinks they know how to get a deal. Real deal hunters avoid it like the black plague.

Evidently, sarcasm doesn't translate to the type-written form very well.
 
my teacher used to say that "what, how, who, which and when are the easy questions. most of you can easily answer what relativity theory is ; who invented it, when he invented it..., but how many can explain why the universe has to work in the way that relativity theory described? 😀
the most difficult question is WHY? "
WHY does BF have to be the day after thanksgiving???😀

Because 3/4 of the country is off of work, making a 4 day weekend. So why not market the day where TONS of people can make it out to shop before Christmas??
 
What an idiotic question? Is there a distinct possibility that it could fall on any other day of the week???

What really made me laugh is when the poster above asked sarcastically...WHY does BF have to be the day after thanksgiving???
My response to that is if it was the day before it would be White Wednesday,preceded only by Blue Monday,to be followed in the next two months,to SuperBowl Sunday,immediately followed by....you see how kooky this is......🙂

The meaning has to be the financial state US retailers hope they'll be in when we consumers spend all we got....In the Black get it???? 🙂
