I drove my mom home tonight on Thanksgiving and drove past a packed, near-gridlock parking lot at Walmart. I've never seen as many cars in Kohl's huge lot. Toys R Us was very busy. ShopKo was very busy.

Newsflash people...Walmart is not going anywhere. You can shop there next week too if you want.

 

[Otis]

Line of traffic tonight getting into the local Staples parking lot.

Staples. Think about that.

Typical of someone who'd wait in line to shop.

Saw some of these dopes waiting at the Best Buy yesterday driving to my parents house. 6+ hours waiting in line in the cold?? Thanks, but I'll pay the extra $50.

Best buy is just not the same. Never thought to break out the candles, but there is always next year.

I'm thankful that evolution is working out better for me than it has for the people out there in line.

For most people it takes a lot longer than 2 days to make $1000, so sounds like +EV to me.

That's assuming you absolutely have to have that particular product right now. If you consider that there are probably plenty of cheaper and nice looking TVs out there -- even with this super fantastic "sleep out in the cold" discount -- that would not change your experience when watching the crappy football game tonight, I don't see the +EV.It's insanity.

It's a 46" 1080p LCD for $1299. I don't think you're getting "cheaper and nicer looking."

How's that smokin' sweet 46" 1080p LCD holding up?

Watching "This is 40" right now on HBO in my living room on it.ETA - I don't remember if we covered this, but I ended up buying it at Costco a week later and not waiting at CC for it.

ETA2 - You've also really mischaracterized my position in this thread for the last several years. Never said I was standing in line overnight for a TV but that maybe one shouldn't mock people that do.

To be fair mocking is one of the things we do best and really some people make themselves easy targets.

One of my favorite holidays traditions is seeing these videos of people fighting over mixers. Please post.

 

[belljr]

You guys all get sweet plasmas today?

Anyone hear from Bentley? He ok?

You know, I've never actually participated in Black Friday. On the other hand, I hear that the morbidly obese have trouble with memory so I understand why you wouldn't recall that fact.

Good bump. You guys getting in line for that sweat deal on a 50" TV when you could instead just wait 3 months and get that TV for even less and even order it online so you don't have to spend hours in the cold and punch a grandma?

Your Black Friday spoils: whatcha got?

 

[belljr]

I'm trying to get a vcr

 

[GOB]

I should start a line at my local gas station.

Tell people they are giving away gas for a year or something and see if I can get other people to join.

Even truer today than it was two years ago.

 

[belljr]

That's what was funny to me....

For the record, I'm paying a couple hundred extra bucks and getting a different TV versus standing in line. I'm just not sure why you need to be an ####### about people that want to save a few hundred bucks.

Pretty defensive here, Brent.

Just don't dig the whole "superior to the poor working stiffs" part of O's bag of tricks. 150% Otis, Heads up with gay poker robot Otis, and camera phone whore Otis are cool. This one's down there with fall in love with a different girl every three days Otis and unable to complete Otis.

I didn't realize Otis schtick has sucked for eight years. Guy really flamed out early.

Our Circuit City is now a rock climbing place. They have one of those huge walls you can climb.

Not really. Just continue to be sad about what you've become and waiting for you to get better. Not sure it's possible after all this time.

Best thing I ever bought at a circuit city was when my local one was closing down, I went in and bought a bunch of the stock room shelves for my basement. They were great quality, hold a ton and I think I paid 40 for a 6ft section.

I know one circuit city that still has its sign up after 8 years.

Ah was just thinking about this. Poor Otis.

 

[shadyridr]

Can someone tell them that circuit city has been closed for years now. Poor people must be tired.

I slept well and was indoors and warm last night, and still have my dignity.
