Yeah, yeah, yeah. We understand all of that. But it just got ridiculous and a tremendous waste of time and money. Plus what do you do with all that shit? My nephew mentioned how much Xmas junk he had in storage.
BTW, I only brought this up because we had a discussion about this last year and some members chimed in with how they had dealt with the problem. Now I know you righties are counting on people to buy, buy, buy this Xmas and go into debt. Silly, silly, silly. And you wanna bet that many shoppers today were buying for..... themselves? The only thing I ever bought on a Black Friday was for myself. Mike Dixon wrote: > Be thankful anybody gave you anything. It's a *gift*, fom their heart towards > you.
