Or at least make it truly gladiatorial: bo staff, last man standing gets the 52" OLED + PS3 combo for $800. Least that way only those who truly want it would even show up and it'd be a fair match.

Not blindsided by some 200lb 5' 3" soccer mom hepped up on Starbucks and spiked in the back by her 4" high heel booted neighbor when I'm down

Kuro, nice explanation for Henry there.

I'm not going out in that chit tomorrow.
No way in hell.

However, I'd take my chances if I was allowed to go gladiator style. I would join forces with sparks and kuro and we would sell all the chit out of my van in the parking lot.

But seriously, black friday kinda sickens me. I've seriously thought about getting a bunch of water balloons and chucking them at the a-holes standing in line outside the stores at 3AM.

Its worse having to deal with them when the doors open. People are honestly insane I wish I could film them just to show how ridiculous they are acting. Its like everyones animal instincts kick into high gear when they are trying to purchase poor quality goods at below cost.

I like how the 200.00 laptops are outdated pieces of crap.

It is the most frustrating thing you can do. You can't get through a traffic light, can't park, can't find anyone to help you, wait in line forever, get tired, get cranky, accomplish nothing and then think about the returns. Shoot me now.

Going to Harbor Freight to pick up a buffer and nitrile gloves (and whatever else tickles my fancy); 40% off. Hoping to be up by 10am. I doubt there'll be any lines there though, lol. Screw the mall, malls are for suckers.
