did you think i forgot?
november 26 is BUY NOTHING DAY!!!!!!
for all my international readers, november 27 is buy nothing day.
look around your house. how much useless crap have you bought on an impulse or been brainwashed by some fancy advertising campaign to buy. i've got tons of clothes i rarely wear but in my own defense most of them were purchased second hand at value village. after years of being a value village shopper i've finally learned to stop buying stuff just because it looks cool.
on another note, the canadian jewish congress has FORCED CANADA'S LARGEST DRUG STORE CHAIN TO PULL ADBUSTERS OFF THE SHELF!
what did adbusters do you ask?
they had the temerity to note some striking similarities between the Warsaw ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II and the open air prison of Gaza in Israeli-occupied Palestine today.
adbusters might be my favorite magazine but in my new found maturity i'll forgo any anti semitic comments.
i love all you non shopping sons of bitches on the 26th and 27th.

Hell, there's lots of days I don't buy anything. I'm going to make me a pair of pants out of 'ballistic', they'll fucking last forever.
Canadian jewish congress, hahahaha
About one inch of snow here and looks like it may snow all night long.
I've just built a fire out in the camper to warm it up some.
It's not a bad idea, but some people will just get all their shopping done on November 25. Isn't December 25 a buy nothing day?
billy - maybe you can park your camper in the walmart parking lot on black friday and call all the shoppers feckin idiots.
gb - there are demonstrations planned in 292 cities. a man of your intelligence and sophistication could add a lot of class to one of the demonstrations.
I don't buy christmas gifts, haven't for years, others don't need that shit.
you'll be so proud of me.I'm not buying nuttin'...mainly because I'm so poor I can't even pay attention..
hmm, I thought it was a great comparison..
I don't shop on those days. Never have, never will. Those days are for the young and crazy and I want no part of that crowd.
Can I buy a vowel?
You'd have to be INSANE to go shopping on either of those days in the first place !!!
billy - xmas gifts are for kids. adults drink themselves silly.
yellowdog - but you're rich in spirit.
cheyenne - spread the word.
thimscool - sorry billy already got all the vowels.
heff - there's no shortage of insane people on this planet, in fact it's infested with them.
his dad has to be the product of inbreeding when you look at him.
Outbreeding doesn't seem to be improving the gene pool either.

Note to self: Remember to buy beer on Thanksgiving.
Tex, be SMART ! Purchase your beer at least a day early !!
billy - don't pay any attention to that anonymous prick.
tex - alcohol is a weapon of the state.
heff - but if you buy it a day early there won't be any left the next day.
tex - alcohol is a weapon of the state.
It's good for self defense, putting up with the fucking state. I'd better pick up a 30 pack tomorrow.
We have all decided not to buy Christmas gifts this year except for the four grand kids. We did a name exchange last year, but with the economy in the shape it's in, we just don't want to feed the consumer frenzy and put more crap on credit. Nobody is bummed about, just being together will be sufficient.
No money makes it easy to comply.
Wow! A first visit--drawn by the name of my favorite character from my favorite author--and I have hit paydirt. Or...um, un-pay dirt. At any rate, I'm in down-sizing mode and am engineering a logistically challenging trip to my local consignment specialist, followed by a trip to Goodwill Industries with whatever the consignment shop won't accept.
In the states, we call tomorrow Black Friday. I suggest, then, that we call our un-pay day Green Friday.
And how did I come by all this unnecessary stuff? I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.
billy - is your 30 pack gone yet?
robert - years ago my kids announced they only wanted cash. makes my life easier.
mr wit - maybe you could become a culture jammer and make a nuisance of yourself at walmart.
nance - welcome to the monkey house. the water is warm and there's plenty to eat.
Damn, certainly great topic. How will I find that RSS?
