What are you hoping to get?
I am going to best buy at about 6am to wait outside and hopefully get a 379.99 notebook of decent calibur and then shop the rest of the day for random gifts with my best friend.
What are your plans?
Oh, for the deals go here!!
What is Black Friday?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I am going to get DVDs and maybe a new hard drive. I have only an 80 gig and I keep maxing it out. Maybe get a fast DVD burner...that is DUAL LAYERED! Maybe a game or 2 if it is on sale...microwave?
For those not in the know. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It is called Black Friday because that is "the day" that retailers go out of the red ink and into the black ink.
ive never seen anything on sale in black ink
Oh...then I'm not going to buy anything...or do anything...In FACT, I'm going to erase my memory about what this "black friday" is and live in peacefull ignorance every "black friday" we ever have again...
My plans for Friday? Dispose of the evidence. They can't convict me of what they can't prove. :)
every friday after thanksgiving, retailers give amazing deals and sooooo it's just a mad rush of shoopers. I've seen children abandoned by their parents, old women knocked over, and just a riot in front of walmart. It's definitely a hellacious day.
It's my uncle bill's favorite day of the year. It's the start of christmas as well.
I'll probably sleep in and not care.
as im sure many people will do im going to do nothing different from an average day because im broke because i have no job and i dont have parents that spoil me
Um, most kids don't go out on that day, unless it's with their parents.
I'm getting myself a laptop because I need one, and then I'm gonna try to buy other gifts.
You didn't use that brain you...dumb-dumb...This is in the retailors books. Red Ink = Debt and losing money. Black Ink = Profit.Quote:

no one needs a laptop, and sorry ed if im not the most educated person when it comes to sales :eep:
I learned the red and black ink thing from SimCity :)
when i saw that old manus posted i was expecting something like
LIEK ZOMG IEM LIEK GONNAE BAI AL KIENDS OV CMPOOTER TINGZ
i was suprised by the lack of sarcasm :)
lol Z0MG is filtered
I intend to stay the hell away from any malls. Most my Christmas shopping will be done online anyways. I HATE shopping during weekends, and I know that Black Friday will be infinitely worse.
This is where living in a place that doesn't celebrate Thanksgivin can make me feel infinately superior :cool:
Black Friday is When Jesus rises from the dead to feast on the souls of the living, thats why we lure him back to sleep with christmas carols:DQuote:

Some friends and I are planning on heading down to Best Buy and CompUSA to check out some of the deals.
Wasn't Black Friday some sort of disaster or stock market crash?
Or was that Bloody Sunday? I think they're different.
There was two Bloody Sundays, you know. One in Ireland and one in Russia. Goddam imperialist pigdogs and their unimaginative names! :mad2:
I'm fairly certain that was Black Tuesday, or Thursday, or something, just not Friday.
I will be at my friend's house, who lives a block from the Galleria (a really big mall). I will then walk to the Galleria instead of wait in the 45 minute traffic that will happen. I will then shop to my heart's content and probably only leave with a shirt or something :tongue:
It was Black Thursday when the stock market crashed in 1929. If I remember it was in October?
Last year I went with BJ to Circuit City when it opened (free orange juice and donuts!). He got a 250GB hard drive for $8 and I got a DVD for $5. xD
This year the guys at his work (PC Club) are having a LAN party so we're going to that.
Sleep? I hope. :( I always wanna sleep. :D
I geuss its an american thing..?
I plan on sleeping in and staying as far way from any retail store as possible...

And now the natives live on small reservations and own casinos...
I'm going to pick my friend up at the airport and go drink beer.
I'll probably knock down a few trees.
Oh Really? I duplicate the events.:DQuote:

And trust me, the sales are NOT all they're cracked up to be.
As for me, I will be going to work at five am.
I may go pick up various computer related items.
I may sleep.
That's because the sales are better than they are cracked up to beQuote:

Black Thursday? God I'm sick of racism.
Since I've blown off all my birthday money at Target during the past few months... nothing. Why shop with no money? :cry:
