Call 281 791-0041 for a good time - (USA)
I have a new theory. I think the people who keep sending you automated calls that make no friggin’ sense aren’t trying to sell you anything. They’re just trying to annoy you into using an online service to find out who they are. They do this because they own the online caller ID for a fee services. That or it’s the phone company driving up *69 sales. Either way I think Congress should consider what role the death penalty could play in deterring this kind of annoy-1-million-to-reach-1-sucker

Black Friday Death - (USA)
After my post about Black Friday madness I woke up to find a serious note: a Wal-mart employee in Valley Stream was killed by a stampede of people shopping during Black Friday. We all do our part in contributing to the insanity and if the retailers would make the events last just a while longer it could save such trouble. It’s all a Catch-22. If you increase the hours of the sale then not as many people will come shop for goods and then the day would no longer be Black Friday. It would just be

The world today is absolutely crackers - (USA)
Seriously. I never go out shopping on Black Friday, because people are freakin’ insane. And here’s yet another reason to stay home: Wal-Mart employee gets trampled to death by insane shoppers. What the hell is wrong with people? They care more about getting a bargain on a big-screen TV or whatever, than the safety of their fellow human beings? This is one of the sickest things I’ve ever heard. It’s bad enough that these idiots pissed away their Thanksgiving by camping outside of Wally-Wo

The Yarnarian and the Winter Holidays; a Curmudgeon Gripes! - (USA)
Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? Are you doing the malls? Not us! We don't need gifts, and I neither want nor need anything at all and I hate crowds, so we are not going near a mall. I was thinking about the difference between the winter holidays in my childhood, way back at the beginning of time. I am a war baby, so my take on the holidays is very different from baby boomers and you young 'uns. When I was a kid, we never got Hanukkah presents. If we were lucky, someone gave us a shiny quarte

GOP: The Haunted Party - (USA)
How do you get conservatives to think your organization is worthless? A member quoted in the media suggesting it’s time to move past Ronald Reagan is a surefire way to do it. As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out, Governor Jeb Bush never spoke those exact words, but that impression has been left with conservatives around the nation.

Black Friday–It’s Only Stuff - (USA)
November 29, 2008 Here's our trunk full of presents! It’s no secret that Black Friday is my favorite shopping day of the year. I love the excitement in the air, the conversations with random shoppers while waiting in lines, and nabbing some great deals from $2 DVD’s at Walmart (as well as a couple $6 and $9 ones for gifts) to my massive purchase of yarn at Michael’s crafts. Plus, it’s the one day of the year you can go shopping in your pajama pants and no one cares. No one is awake to care

Oh, and the place served beer - which meant you had to deal with lots of carding of underage kids, and also had to serve up beers to vaguely homeless beach people who would pay for their beer with PENNIES.
