Like sheep?

Sicko.

What's funny is when I was reading your initial post about camping out at a Wal-Mart at 4am I thought this was going to be one of those red neck jokes!

Today's papers (Boston Globe/Brockton Emptyprise):

News section: 1/2 inch thick
Ads: 2 inches thick

You'll have to spend all day today reading the ads and planning a strategy of attack for tomorrow's 5AM specials.

Here the recap -
left the house at 4:15, got to walpole walmart at 4:30, parking lot packed, grabbed a spot and got in line, line moved smoothly. in the store in less than 5 minutes. Place was packed but everyone was civil, got 2 Nintendo DS lites for $98. Grabbed a bunch of kids pjs and track suits, $3. headed for the door, back in my car by 5:10. So far so good, now Im wondering what Im going to do since I was finished so early. Saw Old Navy was open, bunch of kids fleeze and shirts $5 each, all jeans were $15 so picked up a few pairs, out the door in 15 minutes, home by 6AM. Not a bad experience at all.

What a let down. I was hoping to hear about the fistfights in line, the swearing, the old ladies getting trampled in the video game aisle, and the people getting run down in the parking lot as crazy people tried to get parking spaces. You make it sound so boring and uneventful.

I slept until 7:30, ate breakfast and came in to work at 9:15 to a mostly empty office. I'm almost done for the day already.

Here's an interesting article I read yesterday about how the Black Friday hype is being exploited by many of the major retailers (including companies like Best Buy and Amazon).

Go to LL Bean insist my wife help you and no one else will do. Complain to Andy the manager that only Paulette can help anyone in the store and she too valuable to be paid such a small pittance, particularly as I lie here recovering from partial knee replacement surgery.
