Did YOU go Shopping Today? (Black Friday)

Zyph · Post by **Zyph** » Fri Nov 23, 2001 1:44 pm

Ok.....Today (Day after Thanksgiving in USA) is "Black Friday". (For anyone that wants to know where that term comes from, post the request here. It's actually Pretty interesting.)

I saw the boards have had pretty much NO activity today, and was wondering if some of you collected all your courage and went shopping today. (Braved the mass of people). How was your experience if you did? (Please tell me you didn't go shopping at 6am.... :argue )

I woke up @ 10:30, grabbed some cheerios, and immediately started playing my way through Q3A on hardcore. I've been sitting in front of my comp all day.

So, no, I didnt go shopping. Tomorrow

Thought I'd be smart and get to best but by 6am. Getting off the freeway I could see the line. I drove close to it and saw a real long line from the front door that seemed to snake around the parking lot it was so long. Needless to say I didn't wait around. That's madness. I hate waiting in line anyway but that is plain rediculous. You know everything you were wanting would be gone so why bother.

Then drove by staples, they had maybe 15-20 in line. Later went to compusa and they had everything you wanted there. Bad thing is there waasn't much you wanted,haha. Office Max naturally had no clue about the $39 cdrw and it was sold out online too.

Went out today and thought that I could get somthing good, couldn't get jack at bestbuy, circuit city and other major stores. All those good stuff and free stuff are gone before 11am. Worst special sales day ever.

I hate crowds. Hell, I don't usually like any group of people bigger than 5-10.

I saw on the news that some lady got trampled at Wal-Mart. When the opened the doors, she was pushed down and got kicked and stepped on. They showed her with a doctor in the hospital getting treatment. She had a serious black eye.

This kind of stuff really sickens me. I guess the true meaning of Christmas is "Consume at all costs.", or maybe "Jesus who?"

You mean Christmas is not about Santa Claus? <img src="http://sbp777.homestead.com/files/shocked.gif">

Went to BB late afternoon hoping to score a DC and some good games..they had plenty of DC's but almost no good games left, so I just bought Return to Castle Wolf. However, my dad and I went shopping for home theater speakers saturday and sunday, and bought some really nice Mirage's (L&R, center). Pretty good weekend =)
