I commented somewhere yesterday that I don't understand the appeal of lining up or even camping out just to stampede for "bargains".

And I'm a rare guy who, at the right moment, can enjoy shopping. That may be why I have too many clothes. (though i think that's more about wanting to look good). And I love giving more than buying for myself, so I must really love giving. Lately, mostly truck parts for Lil B.

However, I thought I ought to promote a classic rock tune with a sufficiently Black theme:

What? You expected Christmas music? Not before December 1, please!

Excellent choice - and how about "Black Friday" by Steely Dan?

I would change the second verse to read like this:

"When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it while others go to the mall"

I'm sitting this one out. Gonna take the kids to the movies instead.
