My aunt and my cousin are both getting up early to line up for the special day-after-thanksgiving bargains. I went once to some of these for Christmas shopping, and things were CRAZY (bad parking, long lines, people everywhere), and I just can't start the Christmas season until December, I just can't, even though I know that our area all-Christmas-music radio station started up yesterday. I slept in today and am wasting my morning screwing around on the internet
I actually just got finished shopping.. Its always lots of fun to go.. Got lots of good stuff..
Every year my cousins, friends, and I make up a plan to where each person is going and what they're going to pick up and we head out in groups of 3 to different stores when everyones done with their Thanksgiving..
My cousin says that shopping is like war, it requires stratgety in order to beat your opponent [aka everyone else in the store].. Well I'll tell ya that on black friday it certainly looks like a war zone, but it's still fun anyways..
wow I feel such a loser.. Correction a loser with no money.. =p
I'm glad some people have fun on this day, like masa I don't get to shop instead I have to leave for work in the next 10min to work 10hrs explaining to people that they can't get rain checks on Black Friday and that it's not my fault that they thought they could show up at 1pm when we open at 4am and expect the cheapest things to still be there.

Even on "black friday", shopping online is a better bet. Better deals, better prices, and less stress.
Calling this day "black friday" is stupid. "Black Friday" denotes a day of death or tragedy. Unless lots of people get killed shopping, it's inappropriate and disrespectful to those who have died on an actual "Black Friday".
the name comes from the fact that most businesses go "into the black" starting today as the holiday shopping spree begins in earnest and the company begins to turn a profit.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Sou da ne? Thanks for the interesting factoid (honto).
Still, overusing the term takes away from the true or widely-accepted meaning of the phrase. The "Black Friday" we honor where I'm at is when several people got killed in April 2004 in the service of freedom (and the almighty dollar).
