    It was a man. Do you laugh at men who refuse to go camping but WILL pitch a tent on the sidewalk?

    I am sure he would. That's an equal-opportunity example of human oddities!

    A woman would not be able to pound the tent stakes into the concrete sidewalk, so it would have to be a man........

    You have not met me in person, Richard, you might be surprised how much strength a woman can must, especially given proper motivation ....

    Karen,

    I have the utmost respect for women, all women.

    I'll have to pass on meeting you in person, though.

    I can't afford to have anyone find out I got me arse handed to me by a woman........

    (and pounding tent stakes into concrete is some stupid us men would go anyway, women have more sense than trying that.)

    Why is it not called Green Friday for all the money that exchanges hands?

    Just got home from Thanksgiving with the family about an hour ago. There were LOADS of cars parked at our local Target, Kohl's and Wal-Mart and a group of people waiting outside either the Verizon store or Game Stop (they're side by side). Dunkin' Donuts next door to Game Stop was doing a land office business with cars in the drive-up and lots of people inside.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Black Friday shopping is done! I did mine yesterday - sitting at my computer while the turkey was in the oven. Got the same prices on line for the items I ordered, as people will be paying in the store today - plus FREE SHIPPING!!! No wasting my gas - no fighting the mobs - and I can sit back and relax and watch the newscasts of the fights and traffic that will definitely be occurring today around the country!

    Happy Black Friday, everyone!
