Any one gonna go out on Friday and fight thought the nuts ? I'm heading to walmart for a few things. I just need to figure out how many hours to get there ahead of time.

I hope no one pops a cap in ---my bottom--- before i make it to my car.

Im out on the black friday parade.
I tried it one year, I would not fight that crowd again if they gave me the camera free.
But to each his own, so have fun!

Not gonna do it...

I'll hit websites, and again on Cyber Monday, but I am not going to mess with the crowds.

I have to work and even if I didn't, the only way I'd get out of bed at 3am on my day off is if the house was on fire.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Not interested either.  I get why people might do it in other parts of the country but around here it's just way too cold to spend the night sitting on a sidewalk to get cheap bluray players.

Same here, the wife and I went out one year... we will never do it again!  I would rather pay more than deal with all the --bags of cream-filled twinkies--....

I may not even leave the house on Friday.

Sadly, most of the BF deals are no better than what you can get at regular sales throughout the year.

As always happens, once the "black friday brand" became a big item, the stores started slowly degrading the quality of the deals.  Now the better deals are on Cyber Monday anyway.

My wife is going to hit up Wally-World, but I'm staying my lazy arse at the house.  She's much braver than I am.

Wal-mart is actually about the only place I would venture out for if I was in the mood. Our area is saturated with Wal-Marts about as bad as McDonalds, so it isn't all that bad. It was 3 years ago we last did the early thing, and we walked into Walmart at 3-4, coordinated our 3 pronged attack, got everything we wanted, and were out in about an hour.
