End the War -- on Thanksgiving

One store ran a circular yesterday listing Fall-oween deals. I think it was Hobby Lobby.

 

What I meant is that are the days when most working people could count on a day like Thanksgiving as a day off from work to spend with the family a thing of the past?

 

"Most" working people?

There can't be more than 10 percent of the population working on Thanksgiving.

 

I too was scared that this might be about a movement to strip the Lions of their traditional hosting duties on Thanksgiving.

Can there be a war on Columbus Day, 'cuz Columbus day can fuck right the hell off.

 

I don't know what all the fuss is. Thanksgiving was yesterday, eh?

 

Even when I worked at the mall during my high school and college years, I was at least smart enough to work at a fast food joint without a breakfast menu.

That said, my best shot at finding a job after two years is lying my ass off to Best Buy about being able to stand up for a full shift. What, a guy with a cane can't run a cash register? If I get the job, I'm sure I'll be working on Thanksgiving.

And, lastly, I'll admit that I was one of those Black Friday people, but it was much worse. I went to JC Penney for the free Mickey Mouse Christmas ornament. I would get it, wander around the mall for another hour or two, then go home. Didn't buy a damn thing. It's sick, I know.

 

I did the Black Friday shopping thing once. Once.

The list that year included computers for the kids and the prices were too good to pass up. But after that experience, I can truthfully say I will never, ever do that again. I don't care if they're giving away HD TVs and laptops for free, I'm not going.

 

This is how the free market handles holidays. Don't like it, take it up with capitalism, you commie.

 

Is Canadian Christmas in November?

 

Now we're diving families on Thanksgiving and splitting up tradition dinners. I'm telling ya, this "Market" guy is a real asshole.

 

Funny stuff. You could probably get a whole routine out of this.

 

If I was him, I'd only perform it once, do this, and declare myself a success.
