Speaking of Thanksgiving, I really don’t understand the day after Thanksgiving shopping thing.  There may be some good deals out there, but I can’t think of a single scenario in which I’d be willing to go out there and push my way through the hordes of freaks.

The thing I really don’t get is that some stores just give away crap like 10-dollar gift cards, and yet people get excited.  That seems completely backwards to me.

Person:   “We’re going to wake up and go shopping at 4:00am tomorrow.”

FG:  “I’ll pay you 20 dollars if I don’t have to.”

Then there was the big hubbub with the $300 laptops at Wal-Mart.  Is it me, or do the riots always seem to break out at Wal-Mart?  Maybe it’s their customers.

Person1:  “They said they had 15 laptops.”

Person2:  “Uh-huh.”

Person1:  “And you’re number 23 in line.”

Person2:  “Right.”

Person1:  “You don’t see a problem here?”

Person2:  “Something does seem a bit askew, I agree.  But I’m going to be honest with you – I’ve never been very good at math.  Hopefully my new laptop will be able to solve this conundrum for me.”

Mainly, I think people just love standing in lines.
