The Line Begins…
Remember the South Park episode where “The Line Ride” is one of the attractions at the carnival that comes to town? There are some folks that may just only get to experience the Line Ride and not actually have the stamina to last, if my sense of who I saw tonight is a good assessment.
On my way home from Thanksgiving dinner, I could NOT believe the lineup! We drove past a strip mall, and there were already people lined up outside of Best Buy and Michael’s. I kind of expected Best Buy to have that situation….but Michael’s? Everyone in line looked a little bewildered and bored…like they had already been there for hours and were “over it” already. My cousin was twittering on about how she needed to go there. My uncle said, “Michael’s…isn’t that a crap store. Whoops, I mean craft store? What could possibly be so exciting there? Apparently something called a Cricket Machine that is some sort of diecutter for scrapbooking is on some sort of mega sale. Maybe everyone waiting outside is wanting one of those, and wasn’t afraid to start lining up as soon as soon as this evening. Very strange.
However, if there was some antique store closing its doors and offering a megadiscount, would I go? Probably.
There will be more news reports forthcoming from Black Friday later on. I have decided that I will accompany my relatives, mostly just to spend time with them, but also to do some massive people watching. Nothing quite brings out the “best” (not) in people than good old fashioned cutthrought competition. Viva Le Economy!
