What was your BEST black weekend deal?

We got a Craftsman wet/dry vac for $39.99 at Ace Hardware. It sells for $102.86 & FREE Shipping at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-9-17765-Gallon-Horsepower-Vacuum/dp/B007KHC3UQ

That price at Ace is good through today with their rewards (not a credit) card.

1. cat litter

I wasn’t going to buy anything, but as it happened the local animal shelter published a wish list.  I bought 150 lbs of Scoop Away Unscented Cat Litter, 25 Pound boxes for a total of $42.48, which includes tax and free shipping.  They applied a discount for BlackFriday and for it being one of my first three orders.  (They shipped it in one box per 25 lb box.)

2. Staying home, eating leftover homemade pumpkin pie

and my daughter’s homemade pumpkin cheesecake.

^^^the true spirit of Christmas, in comparison with the big guy's crass decadent materialism.

3. I packaged up a few hundred dollars of returns,

That is better than not buying I hope.

4. I did not go out of the house or spend a dime shopping for black Friday

^^^another example of the true spirit of Christmas, again in comparison with the big guy's decadent gangrenous secular materialism.

5. 8 hours of uninterrupted turkey coma…..

followed by a day full of reading.

^^^whoa, another example the big guy in Bellevue best emulate, given that he's got such a short time left before he has to answer for all his selfishness and gluttony in this life.

He sure does not seem like a person on deaths doorstep.

Well, that sucks!

Yeah, a wet dry vac doesn't exactly do the work itself.

That's why I think he's faking it.

None of the big guy's conduct and behavior has been anything near what most people facing imminent death do. 

He alleges he's terminal, but he's acting as if he plans on living to a great old age.

And hey, junior high girls basketball season is about to start up again.

Marta wanted the wet vac so that when Steve finally kicks the bucket she can suck up his ashes and throw them out with the trash.

Won't work; it's only 12 gallons.

As big as the big guy is, I'm pretty sure that even if reduced to ashes, he'd be more than 12 gallons.

You know, I'm pretty tired of this.  He even advertises that he's "terminal" on his signature line on Skins's island (which can't be seen by those merely lurking).  As if that's supposed to buy him immunity from criticism.

It's corny, it's hokey, it's bad taste, it's white-trash.

Seeing this sort of crap by a primitive makes one forget the guy's a whooping 60 years old, about 45 years past old enough to know how puerile it is.  Its too bad pensions are given on basis of chronology, rather than on emotional development and maturity.
