I sat smugly at my desk today and laughed when it started POURING around midday. All I could think about was ALL those bargain hounds fighting for parking spaces, shopping carts and the last of .....whatever the big ticket item is this year.

I did the "black friday" thing about 4 or 5 years ago when the stores opened early at 7 or 8 am, and made out like a bandit.
Home Depot had a chainsaw on sale for a decent price, and I wanted/needed to get one. Well, the geniuses at HD failed to display the merchandise properly, so when I picked up the chainsaw package and had them scan it, I ended up (when I got home) finding out that the shipping package was shrink wrap around 2 saws, not 1.
I ended up with a 2 for 1 deal.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
