Wow, I totally forgot it was Saturday — and I guess, technically, the first Saturday of the holiday season. Thanksgiving was nice and normal; we went home with the pan full of leftovers seen above, which will undoubtedly sit in the fridge for a week until one of us admits that it’s trash and can’t be kept for sentimental reasons.
I didn’t partake in any Black Fridaying, aside from the online version of it. It’s funny how much crap you’ll buy when sites tell you that the prices are only good for four more hours. I ordered around 15 things last night, and ended up canceling about half of the orders because my higher brain function kicked in and told me that the intended recipients wouldn’t really want those gifts, even if I told them what great deals I got on ‘em.
I guess this would be a reasonable time to mention that, last week, I spotted people dressed as toilet bowls and Charmin bears near work. Aside from being the most blatant “our product is to WIPE YOUR SHIT” advertisers in the toilet paper industry, the Charmin folks are now edgy marketers — they’re doing this thing where public restrooms are temporarily set up in the city, thus helping touring tourists take a piss without begging a crusty restaurant owner first. The toilet bowl people and costumed bears handed out flyers telling people with their legs crossed where to head.
These guys were right near Toys ‘R’ Us. I went to check out their video games department, and they seriously had about 500 trillion Nintendo Wii systems. As fate would have it, the Wii is going to be my Christmas present, and thus, I’ve been forbidden to buy one early. But, if any of you are in or near NY and still Wii hunting, go there. They have plenty.
Got lots of stuff to get done, so, SNT away!

Still, these were painted parrots if you’ll recall, and from what I can gather, it’s a miracle that two are still alive and kicking after all this time.
Kickass! First!
