BLACK FRIDAY




Today is Black Friday but not Good Friday which is the first Friday of the Month. If you are Catholic and go to mass nine first Friday’s in a row then die you go straight to heaven it doesn’t matter which crimes you commit they are all forgiven.---Insert your own fantasy crime here!---
The late Bishop Pike once said that at the 6 a.m.daily mass there were always the same 8 old ladies of either sex. I don’t know what he meant but then again I did, sort of like listening to Bob Dylan, “She’s got the pork chop and I’ve got the pie, she ain’t no angel and neither am I.”
I intend to purchase an Iranian Hallway runner at half price today and possibly another handcrafted and sewn piece for my vestbule,foyer or whatever that space is called when you first walk in the door. Did you know that Iranian rugs have flooded the market going back to when Clinton removed sanctions from Iran because he was decorating his New York Manson and apartment?
I will not stand in line for special sales because that is eating into my time which even at minimum wage offsets the sale price. The same goes for All You Can Eat and Half prIce dinners at restaurants.
If I’m going to engaage in some “ all you can eat” frenzy I’ll do it at home in my jockey shorts so I can bellow and belch and throw scraps to Darby Doodle and pretend I’m a non violent member of a hippy cult from the Sixties.
Let’s do a little interactive blogging here. Will you shop on Black Friday? Do you go out to dinner midweek because of specials? Do you buy cheap beer because it’s cheap beer? Have you ever made a restaurant sorry you walked in on All You Can Eat Wings night?”
If a close friend won the Powerball and did not offer to pay off your mortgage would you hate them?
And can you do the Electric Slide?
Time to buy a Persian Rug. Let me tell you about Ahab the A Rabb.

Freddog, Happy Thanksgiving. Am I the only one who misses TV trays for the men so we could watch the fuzzy snowy black and white images of the Detroit Lions- ie the immortal Greg Landry, Mel Farr (coolest Lion ever, along w/Lem Barney, who both sang back up for Marvin Gaye's 'What's Goin On.')Wayne Walker, Paul Naumoff team- getting their ass kicked by whoever was their opponent?

Answers: No.No.Not since I was between 16-24. No, but I have made them sorry I walked in. (On those ocassions, I usually flew out.Usually had good distance,poor trajectory, though.)No-people's 'deals' with their money and their spouse are unique to them. I can't hate on that. I can, but will not.
 
I absoluety flock to mid-week deals at restaurants, especially the half price bottles of wine. Restaurants make money on me when I go to all you can eat, because I only get one plate and am too full, but I do love all you can eat rib night. I work at a bar so I don't have to buy cheap beer, the good beer is cheap with an employee discount. I worked on black Friday because even though I am a shopper I draw the line at angry packs of women elbow to elbow in the panty bin, playing tug of war with toys, and growling over of the latest techie toy. And I wanted to make money to shop later.
So I guess this means I'm cheap. Generations of cheapie , "we'll buy a burger, but we're not springing for 30 cents to get cheese on it" relatives are smiling down on me.
