Black Friday

9 Design for Living (1933) on TCM at 4:30 pm. Movie is about a menage-a-trois. Needless to say it's pre-code.

Gary Cooper, Fredric March, and Miriam Hopkins.

Yup, they all went Social Justice Equity and defund the cops.

Now... I hope they get it good and hard. One of the weird thing that happened in US politics, was that somehow consequence got divorced from Politics. I think it happened during the Viet Nam war, when we 'lost' the war, with no consequence to the US Citizen (except those who had served).

28 I actually just saw a video posted about how Black Friday has racist roots. Fucking shit man. Friday is racist. Trees are racist. Forks are racist. Socks? Fucking racist man. That number 2 pencil? THE WORST!

IT HAS AN ERASER ASSUMING THE BLACK MAN IS GOING TO MAKE A MISTAKE!!!!

I should go back and look for that video, but I short circuited and closed the tab. All twatter history looks the same. They thought they were so clever by actually knowing what "in the black" means, but of course a sale to kick off Christmas right after Thanksgiving is straight up white supremacy.

30 When we were kids, our grandparents would tell us that if we weren't behaving, Santa wouldn't leave us presents. He would leave a bundle of willow tree switches so we could be spanked for our high crimes and misdemeanors. We knew better. Santa wouldn't do such a terrible thing and there weren't any willow trees around the area.
One year we gleefully raced to the tree to find our Christmas stockings stuffed with willow switches and no other presents under the tree. We stared in shock at this turn of events and then began sword fighting with the switches. Dad laughed himself silly and brought out the real presents. Still don't know where the hell they got those willows.

I used to get threatened with the lump of coal all the time. Back then, we actually burned coal all the time, so I knew what it was. I vaguely remember them doing that to me one year, probably for not cleaning my room one day in April or feeding broccoli to the dog. I probably should have become a serial killer when I think about it.

Running gag my dad did was put coal in my Christmas stocking. The first time was a shock since I was a wee child then but it became a tradition as the years rolled on.

I told the grandkids about getting coal in my stocking when they were 5. Later, my wife heard the kids whispering that grandpa must have done something really bad to get coal in his stocking!

I had a woman convinced that nauga hide came from naugas that lived in the Naugatuck river in Connecticut.

They would tuck back up under the bank, hence the name Naugatuck and you would have to grab them and pull them out and then skin them for the nauga hide. 3 cents a hide and the plaid ones brought a dime each.

She was not the brightest bulb in the box.

94 >>I had a woman convinced that nauga hide came from naugas that lived in the Naugatuck river in Connecticut.

Years ago I was on a flight and a guy in the window seat and I convinced the young woman sitting in the middle that the naugas were a nearly extinct type of gazelle from Africa. Never met the guy before but we were taking turns making up fun facts about the proud and free last of the Naugas. Hardest I've even worked to hold back laughing.

He was from the Philly area and we had some much fun goofing on the woman that he drove me about 20 miles out of his way to my hotel so I didn't have to take a taxi.

107 I used to get threatened with the lump of coal all the time. Back then, we actually burned coal all the time, so I knew what it was. I vaguely remember them doing that to me one year, probably for not cleaning my room one day in April or feeding broccoli to the dog. I probably should have become a serial killer when I think about it.

Years ago I was on a flight and a guy in the window seat and I convinced the young woman sitting in the middle that the naugas were a nearly extinct type of gazelle from Africa. Never met the guy before but we were taking turns making up fun facts about the proud and free last of the Naugas. Hardest I've even worked to hold back laughing.

I haven't seen one in the wild yet - but I tend to go to the same 2 stations and the same pump, so that probably lowers the chances. I would assume in my town they'd be out there.

118 Yes, b/c you probably could have scored 2 free meals yesterday. I used to always invite young single male friends of my spouse who had nowhere to go for Thanksgiving and have fed many over the last 2 decades...so you probably have someone like me who would have fed you for free...

Posted by: Nova local at November 26, 2021 04:48 PM (exHjb)

that is a tradition. My grandparents used to invite military men over that didnt' have another place to go, not just on Thanksgiving. But times are different, many legit have no one. The society has changed. A lot of people do it alone. Even a few decades ago that would be truly rare.

135 Hubbymayhem wants to try making a pecan pie. He searched the kitchen for needed ingredients. He found a bottle of karo syrup pushed was way to the back in a cupboard. No one in this house remembers buying it and it may very well be something that moved here with me over twenty years ago. He's now searching the internet to determine if it is safe to use this. I say fuck it roll the bones and see what happens!
