    I don't go. I get my fill of crowds of insane people on just a regular trip to Wal-Mart. It doesn't help that it's so far after payday on the 15th, either. Money has to stretch, y'know.

    I usually sleep through "black friday" (as the media refers to it here), because everything is nuts. Roads are clogged, stores are busy, just general chaos. I'm not one for getting up at 6 am to get in line for sales with millions of other people, instead, I sleep until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon that day.
    Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!

    We can't let the terrorists win, guys! I know a liquor store that can cash our unemployment checks.

    I work at a video game store. We have sales like crazy tomorrow. I'm also spending all day there. Give me a tissue.

    I went out on black friday and it had LOOONG LINES!!! I did pick my self up a nice new 17" LCD monitor. I got some shopping done but I mainly go to just best buy to get electroincs for people. I don't know what people like to wear so I try to avoid clothing.

    "You think I am a medium/?!?1 DIEEE!!!!"

    I try to avoid that situation.

    Just like several others, I had to work through America's version of Black Friday and it was certainly not fun at all. It's sad that shopping has really replaced Thanksgiving.

    Call me crazy, but England's Black Friday sounds JUST like Black Friday here, especially if you try to cut someone in line.

    Take care all.

    I found out why we call it Black Friday. Cause for smaller merchants (read: non- chain stores) sometimes it's the first time of the year they see a profit, or "go out of the red and into the black" in banking terms.

    TV is good.

    Hey, who besides me pulled the famous snatch-and-grab on Friday? Some lady picked up something that I wanted so I stalked her around until she wasn't looking and then ran by, snathcing the item and jetting off into the store. Nobody cared because they were too musy trrying to keep from getting thier things taken.
