Black Friday has had a bit of camraderie among the line-campers. Everyone has their story. It's about the only time strangers take the time to talk to each other in a shopping mall context. Bring booze in a dunkin donuts cup! J/K. Past years it's been 15'F and wind whips around the concrete buildings. It's a good life lesson that if you want something you have to suffer... the early bird gets the worm, etc.
As said above there isn't really a choice between a chinese and american tv anymore... so why not reduce the $$$ exported as a stopgap?
BF used to be the best time of year to get hand tools at Sears etc. Work hard and get something nice for yourself! I patiently waited 'till BF to buy my first copy of Windows XP, it came with a basically free computer. I provide the family IT and like the most bang for the buck. That 'puter is 6 years old in two days. I've changed the P/S, mobo, and added a hard drive to keep it maintained.
