What will I buy? I already hit Newegg for a great new budget CPU/Mobo combo deal with a rebate. Got an Athlon II X3 435 and ECS Black Edition A785GM-M for only $140 after shipping and rebate! Too bad I bought the Caviar Black 500 GB for $50 at ZipZoomFly a couple weeks ago; Newegg has the 640 GB Black for the same price w/o a rebate!

Some marketer noticed that people went shopping on Friday after Thanksgiving, since almost everyone has that day off.

They proclaimed it the first day for Christmas shopping and the busiest buying day of the year, and another marketing day was born. I blame Mervynns and companies of that era for running huge tv ad campaigns about being open at 5AM for making it some sort of instant tradition.

No. It's because today is the largest shipping day on the calendar and if they don't move merchandise, they will have to liquidate it practically to continue selling stuff for christmas (basically their storage is about to be at maximum capacity, so they have to sell now)
 
If the government is having a sale, I was thinking about buying GM.

I mean with how low that company has gone, a Black Friday sale should be pretty cheap. (tongue in cheek)

Yeah, her breasts do seem quite small. We would require further examination to tell however. A further cross examination with Sarah and Jane is needed for a thorough analysis of the situation.
Well, I can wish can't I?

A nice new 17" laptop with a GTX 260M, depending on how much money I have...
