What R U doing on Black Friday?

Last year --- I learned a very HARD LESSON: the day after Thanksgiving is the first day of hell.

Best Buy had a sale with LIMITED QTY's the morning after Turkey Day. I thought I was slick... I got up extra early, got dressed and drove to my local BB at 3 am the morn after devouring at least 5,000 calories of Pilgrim food (no, not a super-sized Big Mac meal). It was 10-degrees outside and the wind was gusting to 30 mph as I pulled into the parking lot. My eyes nearly burst as I spotted HUNDREDS of consumers on line ahead of me. They had lounge chairs and electric blankets, hot coffee in gallon-sized thermoses, and solar-powered video monitors tuned into The Weather Channel.

Best Buy reps dressed like Robo-cop wandered the consumer line-up advising that NUMBERED CERTIFICATES had already been distributed for discounted items to those who had camped out a week before the holiday. With my tail shriveled up from the cold and tucked between my ankles, I called Triple A on my cellphone to get a JUMP START to fire up my frozen car-battery, start my cryogentic engine, and I wandered off to my local McDonald's to buy a hot coffee and a dried-out McSausage and Egg biscuit. As I watched the sun rise over the eastern horizon, I wondered to myself... WHY???! Why did I wake up at 2 am to get to Best Buy at 3 am only to find out that the LIMIT 10 PER STORE Black Friday Sale was already SOLD OUT?!!!! I was so exhausted that I nearly passed out under the Golden Arches in Mickey Dee's parking lot.

From that day forward, I VOWED to the turd-wiper of Jabba The Hutt's underpants: I would never, ever go shopping the day after Thanksgiving EVER AGAIN!

Ever since it has been like I discovered the fountain of youth. Stay home the day after Thanksgiving. Watch BDs, be with family and friends, make love to the one you love, have a few cocktails... re-lax!!!!!! There will be another sale the next day... and the day after that.

Like Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz: "There's no place like home (click, click, click...) There's no place like home (click, click, click... )"

To all of my buddies right here on www.Blu-ray.com: (especiially YOU, Will Smith! )

Have a warm, wonderful, and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

I love you all.
