Grey Thursday?

Please, please, please do not go shopping tommorrow! No matter what they offer you, don't feed the plants! That's right. The Audrey II's of the economic world that are going to be open on Thanksgiving are here to eat Detroit! And, Cleveland! And, where you live!

It started out innocently enough. It was just drop or two of blood in the form of a pretty darn good sale the day after Thanksgiving. But then, it grew! Next thing yoou knew, you were getting up at 3 A.M.! Then, you didn't even go to bed last year, did you? Just waited until midnight, and got that really early start. Now? Now? Where will it end? Easter?

You've still got almost an entire month! Is buying gifts for Christmas to give to your loved ones more important than, ya know, spending time with them? Even if you are motivated to be out on Thanksgiving by an unrelentingly disfunctional family, why are you going to make soemone else miss their Thanksgiving, so they can ring up your. Just say no. WalMart will get the point, Mr. and Mrs. Target won't starve in the winter time, and K-Mart should have died ten years ago, anyway, so who gives a crap about them.

Be good little boys and girls and go see your family.
