No horror stories here..

Went shopping near rich people places so cops abound.

YAR1S · 11-28-2009, 12:57 AM

I've never seen a 1,000 car parking lot full with no more parking spaces.... and mind you this was a small (department store) shopping center, I didnt go anywhere near the largest shopping mall in my city, yikes.....

all I got this weekend was a HID kit from MI, and im not sure if the 10% thing worked..... :/

Sent the wife out with her mother around 3:00pm. She spent $80 on a bunch of decorations for the house. It was a 50% off sale.

That's my horror story.

There are no deals on black friday. It's all a gimmick to get mindless consumers in the door with cash in hand. Marketing genius. Sheeple!

Shroomster · 11-28-2009, 01:27 AM

isn't a 60hz refresh rate old news for tv's? if it is thats what almost every single tv on sale was in the stores today....

Wattz · 11-28-2009, 01:41 AM

60hz is absolute baseline. A mid-range TV should be 100 or 120. Some come in 240 and today I heard someone claim that Sony makes a 600hz TV.

Me and my gf decided we would go to Best Buy and target in West Hollywood. I'm part of the reward zone at Best Buy so they told me I could tell them what I wanted to buy, and they would put it aside for me, and let me purchase it at a special cashier at a appointment time, this included doorbuster deals. So were there early so I went to target, got a PS3 controller for 40, and a Nikon S203 for 88 because my sister in law has been bugging my brother for one, lines weren't too so long so we finished and went to Best Buy. I set aside a PS3 120gb bundle with 2 games for 300, Madden '10 for 35, and a few DVDs, went inside did some extra shopping, purchsed everything by 8, we were driving back "home" by 810, that is until my gf says she wants to go to the mall. Best Buy definately made my day waaaaay easier and target was good too.

That's were my horror begins, jk haha the mall wasn't bad at all, we went to the Beverly Center, free parking no crazy traffic. It was extremely mellow.

i didnt buy a single thing. i had to be at work at 1am that day and when 11am came I got the hell out of there.

I did have several customers yelling at me though becuz the sale starts at 5am and they wanted me to start handing the nitendo ds to them at like 4:30. some lady started screaming that her purse was stolen and a cop came and took a report. turns out that her purse wasnt stolen at all. she had left it in a shopping cart at the front of the store and if you can believe it or not...nothing was missing.some other woman came up to our store manager screaming at him because she couldnt find anything. she was holding up her ad and yelling i cant find anything in your damn ad!!!! so he ask her to see the ad and she hands it to him. then he tells her you cant find anything because this is a target ad.

HAHA, my wife works at Walmart too. She was in charge of passing out the cheap Blu-Ray players. While she was at work, I was busy buying a bunch of $2 dvd's lol.

Black Friday:

Slept in until 10am. Had a fantastic grouper sandwich at a little place overlooking Tampa Bay. Came home and ate leftover pie. Played Uno all afternoon. Ate leftover turkey for dinner.

Stress-free. Screw commercialism.

pfff leftovers all day, yesterday too. I'm gonna have to go by a UNO deck now... bastard

And yes, commercialism makes me laugh right now. Most people should just buy "mortgage gift cards" for their friends and family, because a flat screen will just look funny in their soon-to-be cardboard box. Although I could be wrong, box life is all about space saving.

so you play UNO....have you tried/heard of Skip-bo?

Loren · 11-30-2009, 12:52 AM

Heard of it, never played it. Me and UNO go back to about 1979. Used to play on Boy Scout camping trips with groups of 4-6 guys, and we all cheated our asses off. It was great fun! If you're not passing a card under the table from time to time, it's just not the same game!

Sorry to hear that. You're a little off topic, there, but we'll forgive ya, seeing that you're probably battling fever, etc... ;0)

Best wishes for your prompt recovery, and hang in there.
