    Only in MURCUH. They take a day that was for decades a pleasant day where people opted to go shopping.
    A bit more crowded than usual – but not that bad. Fun actually. But then came the hordes, the rancid masses – w an xtra dollar in their pockets. Then it became a HERD. Then a STAMPEDE. Now the troglodytes have named it “Black Friday.” Certainly something of which to be proud! Go go, Murcuhns!!!

    Walmart has become synonymous with shopping? The folks in Bentonville would be pleased.
