Open Thread Black Friday November 29, 2010

Its that great shopping Nirvana again–Black Friday.  Black Friday actually got its name from being the day that the stores would go in the black from all the Christmas shopping.  In fact, during the Depression, FDR moved Thanksgiving up a week to have a  extra shopping days.  People were furious.  Thanksgiving finally became etched in stone as the 5th Thursday in Novemeber.  I personally enjoy Cyber Monday a lot more.  I hate to shop.  Shopping brings out killer rage in me.

On a not so light note, a friend of mine said there was a huge fight in one of the Walmarts  in the electronics department.
