The wife bought a 37" plasma tv a few months ago, but doesn't have any sort of sound system or even a dvd player hooked up to it. Want to know what I call HTDV cable watched on a plasma tv but listened to through tv speakers? I call it depressing, that's what

My wife couldn't possibly care less about this situation however, so we were at an impasse. Any money spent on correcting the problem would be wasted money. On the other hand, she did mention that she could use a dvd player...

So on black Friday, I avoided the crowds and wandered into the base BX at around 5pm and saw a cheapo 5.1 surround sound system with integrated dvd player for $89. It's a JVC TH-S11 if it matters. This system normally retails for $189 or higher, so I bought it. It's the only consumer item I've bought on black Friday since 2001 if I recall correctly. If I hadn't saved $100 on the purchase, my wife would have made me return it

She bought a couple hundred bucks worth of clothes on Friday, but next year she should be making more than I do so it's all good

I was on a phone all day listening to people whine about our stores being out of some item by nine in the morning. It was the first Black Friday I wasn't in front line retail and it wasn't any easier.

I work as a customer service agent at GameStop, Inc. corporate headquarters in Grapevine, and even GameStop had their Black Friday sales. Damn near everything in all of our stores was gone by eleven in the morning. People were calling to lodge complaints about our stores being out.

"While supplies last" can only be said so many times before it becomes ground into your mind.

That was a horrible video, I didn't see any Molotov cocktails or even a police beating someone with a night stick.

Oh I bought nothing.

I scored a really good cup of coffee at the nearby Wawa. Unfortunately I paid full price.

Yes I do, I'm not stupid enough to stand out side of a store for 22 hours waiting for the "big opening" so I can get trampled by 400lb women with no lives whatsoever. Then go to the next store and have to fight the same 400 lb woman for the last stupid tickle me elmo, that nobody in my entire family tree wants anyway.
