The shopping thing, not the Steely Dan song, but come to think of it... Anyway, imagine how soul-crushing life must be if you actually partake in this bullshit? For those not in the know, this is when WalMart and whoever else open their stores at 6am on the day after Thanksgiving.
People actually wait in line, starting at about 4am, so they can trample through the WalMart like a herd of elephants and snag one of the $6 dvd players that are on sale. I'm not done crunching the numbers and such, but I have to think that anything WalMart is willing to part with for $6 is probably a piece of shit.
Of course that's really the least of the issues here. Isn't it really more a commentary on the current capitalistic set up, where people who are poor because all of the manufacturing jobs that they qualify for have been sent overseas so in some perverse twist of fate, they are now literally trampling their fellow Americans to death trying to get their hands on the very products which have placed them in this situation? Well I don't know if that's entirely the case, but this dude outside of the Park Street T station has really informative pamphlets on this if you want to know more. Also says he used to be a writer. Not sure what that means. Anyway, Merry Christmas poor people!

haha, luke's wordbroom got to this one too. such a perfectionist that kid. probably trying to make up for that missed tackle that time.
You're such a rebellious teenager, Belottie. No authority too minor to flail awkwardly against.
The "Christmas shopping season" starts earlier and earlier every year and then analysts wonder why sales are down in December. It's because we finished shopping in September! Or in my case, because I wait until the 26th when the real sales hit.
Maybe we can get a coyote or a dingo to stand watch while the wolf's away
He's back in action!
