What did you buy during after-Thanksgiving sales?

by lonewolf » Sat Nov 27, 2004 2:09 am

For those living in the US, feel free to post what you bought during the after-Thanksgiving sales.



I wanted a Compaq Presario 64-bit laptop, and got it. I didn't find anything else useful. The computer came with a bunch of free things like a colour printer, webcam, Norton Antivirus 2005 CD, wireless router, 64 MB flash drive, and a couple of other things I forgot.



I took only the webcam, NAV CD and the wireless router, and left the others in the store because I have only two hands and no car.



How about you all? Were any of you door-busters today?

I bought absolutely nothing. :x I was too sick to get outta bed. It was so cold too!

I hate myself for missing out on this opportunity. Oh well. There'll be more sales for Christmas. I'll buy the laptop and other stuff then.

now for some humour....





Thanksgiving Explained

By J.P. Bernick



All of America is known for celebrating the holiday of Thanksgiving, or as it is known outside the United States, "Thursday." Families separated for months or years will reunite, and shortly afterwards remember why they separated.

Throughout the nation, those wretched souls condemned to the public school system will breathe a bit easier, eager in their anticipation of four days surcease from education. (The students are pretty happy about it, too.)



Yet running through this gaiety is an undercurrent of bewilderment. In this decadent age we live in, far too many of our unlettered countrymen think Plymouth Rock a music style from the 70's, or the Mayflower a potpourri ingredient. Accordingly, in the best traditions of journalistic public service and overweening arrogance, my column this frosty morn shall be dedicated to answering your questions about Thanksgiving.



Q. Gosh, you're right, Jonathan; I, the average reader, am dumb as a post. What exactly are the origins of Thanksgiving?



A. Thanksgiving is, of course, a holiday invented by grocers and farmers

to allow them to sell huge quantities of disgusting "traditional" foods that no one in his right mind would eat otherwise, such as squash. The average squash is a triumph of minimalism wherein Nature manages to convert mud into a plant without bothering to change its taste and texture. Attempts to improve the mud-like flavor of squash by the addition of delicate seasonings and spices have produced dishes that taste, at best, like delicately seasoned and spiced mud. A master chef, faced with the necessity of making a palatable squash dish, would throw in his funny hat and become a short-order cook at Denny's



Q. That's quite a conspiracy theory. Where do the Black Helicopters fit in?



A. They transport the squash.



Q. I should have guessed. But seriously, what are the origins of Thanksgiving?



A. The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of gratitude by a group of early English settlers known as the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were Separatists who had come to the New World to practice their religion without government interference, and since the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms did not exist at the time they were allowed to do so.



Unfortunately, the Pilgrims neglected to acquire a few skills (such as elementary agronomy) before setting off on their voyage, and as result nearly starved. The local Indians, who at the time were practicing their

ancient sustenance methods of hunting, fishing, and giving large donations to Democratic politicians, took pity on the Pilgrims and taught them to farm the native flora. In a display of appreciation, when the first harvest was taken in the Pilgrims held a huge feast and invited the Indians over for dinner, after which they all fell asleep on couches while watching football.



Q. OK, but when did Thanksgiving become a national holiday?



A. Thanksgiving Day was adopted as an annual holiday by New York State

in 1817, marking the first official celebration of Thanksgiving as a regular event, and the last time a New Yorker said "thank you" for anything.

In 1863, President Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving, and every subsequent president has followed suit.



Q. Even Bill Clinton?



A. Yes, but only after focus group polling showed that a popularity rating loss of 23% among turkeys would be more than offset by a 31% gain

among poultry farmers.



Q. Speaking of turkeys, is it true that Ben Franklin thought the turkey should have been our national bird instead of the eagle?



A. Ben Franklin was indeed a proponent of the turkey as our national bird. Since he was a member of the Rifle Club at the time, though, his motives were somewhat suspect.



It must be kept in mind that the modern domestic turkey bears little resemblance to its feral ancestors. The wild turkey is a cunning and elusive survivor, a challenging quarry for the most skilled of hunters.



Farm turkeys, on the other hand, have been selectively inbred for generations in an attempt to improve flavor and increase breast meat production. These efforts have had numerous side effects on the birds in

question, including reduced intelligence, difficulty in maintaining balance, and the creation of the Brittany Spears.



Q. Is there a final message you would like to give to your readers on this Thanksgiving Day?



A. Enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. You can have my squash.

This years Thanksgiving was one of the best I can remember. Thank God all 7 dishes I prepared, including the bird were finger lickin' good :) I cheated and bought pies from the bakery, but were not that big on desserts anyway.



The following day, which is 'Black Day' also happens to be one of my favorite days. As usual, my mom and I hit Wal-Mart at 5:30 am where we shopped till 7:15 am. We bought a 46" Panasonic Flat screen TV, a 24 pc nonstick cooking set, an olympic digital camera, a food dehydrator, a fondue set, an electric fryer, a trampoline, 2 barstools and other little nic-nac's. My mom dropped $889.00 at Wal-Mart only!!



We then head for Office Maxx, bought an executive chair with a massager for my moms office, and our study.

Then we went to JcPenny. We only bought cosmetics, for dirt cheap.........and they were ann expensive brand too. My mom was still in the mood to shop, but I only slept 4 hours in three days, so I headed back home. It was fun but extremely exhausting.



Black Day always helps the economy, and it has done wonders for this year as well. If you take a look at how it surged this week, its unbelieveable.
Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you pleased to meet me?
