in addition to buying nothing it would be nice if people would register with ADBUSTERS and become an official CULTURE JAMMER! me and ruby have been culture jammers for years. the young and restless can occupy wall street but us more mature subversives can combat runaway consumerism with a little culture jamming.
speaking of retail larceny, i had to buy an hdmi cable for the tv i picked up for pops. the cheapest cable at best buy was $29.99. sonny told me to pick one up at the discount computer place. i got the same thing for $6.99! fuck best buy!
too bad i spilled the beans on pops age. i could have asked you to guess our individual ages with the sum total being 146 years. maybe next year.
i hope none of you sons of bitches buy anything on november 25!

Ok. It's nothing day for me.
We never shop on that day anyway, so that's an easy yes to no shopping on the 25th for me. :)
Wow... great save on the cable!
thanks bob and silly - did you register at adbusters?
I won't buy anything, but I might pluck some fruit and berries from the trees. Are you allowed to invest in company stock?
1) I try to buy more on buy nothing day. I support our retail workers and shop owners.
2) As for that cable? Never EVER get anything like that from Best Buy. See this older blog post of mine:
click here.
Yeah, Best Buy seems to have a markup on things like that of 300% o 600% of what you pay elsewhere.
gb - if i see a bargain on the market i might just click the old mouse.
dmarks - i guess they make out like bandits selling people accessories to go with all the toys they buy. i wonder how many people buy the extended warranties?
Wha happen to my comment?
not buying anything on black friday this year..unless I can get a lap top for under $200 and then fuck it..
I've not shopped on Black Friday in as long as I can remember.
Happy Birthday to your dad!
There's lot's of days I buy nothing, like today for example. I spend so little money that I hid away four hundred bucks a few days ago in case I want a four cycle motor for the 18 footer. I'll pay cash for it, fuck that credit interest shit.
On the 24th I'm going to a free thanksgiving dinner, and they'll wash the dishes also. At the catholic church where those bitches dress sexy.
Good pic of you and Pops. Sonny is a smart boy. Best Buy is a rip off for those cables. And since I will probably be knee deep in poopy diapers and totally sleep deprived on that day, I will have no problem complying with your no shopping orders. Have a good one, BP.
Jam it up, Billy! Love Adbusters... I wouldn't dream of shopping the day after Thanksgiving, so this will be easy for me (not that I generally dream of shopping, anyway.) ;)
I guess free food trumps hatred of organized religion. Long live hypocrisy!
shaw - maybe i've been hacked!
yellowdog - sonny just picked up a rim playbook for $200. he says it's real cool.
secret - thanks.
bill - tell the nuns the pilgrim says hi.
mr shife - well, you could be excused if you were to go buy something real nice for mrs shife after what's she's going through.
jayne - culture jammers unite!
leslie - if there really is a god and he's as spiteful as the stories make out bill better let have a nun sample his free food before eating it.
shaw - i found your comment in my email:
I won't be buying anything on that day either.
I'm a thrift shopper anyway. Never, never buy new clothes or furniture. Buy used stuff: wash, repair, and wear.
Never buy fast food or pre-packaged crap at the supermarket. Don't have supermarkets in my neighborhood in Boston, anyway.
I have to shop at a green grocer's for fruits and veggies, at a fish monger's for seafood, and at a butcher's if I buy meat at all, at a bakery for bread. Library for free books and dvd's. Everything else a a local convenience store.
No car. Don't need one. Public transportation within a 10 to 20 minute walk: boats, trains, buses, subway, or use my feet. Airport, when needed, a 70-cent subway ride away.
This is all my choice. I'm not on the public dole, I choose to live this way.
Cheers!

Screw her, no, really, you screw her, she's an idiot and I don't want her around me.
Why in the hell wouldn't I go to a free meal at a catholic church? I don't have to love the fucking religion, all I have to love is a free meal.
Every fucking catholic I talk to admits that they're fucked up, there you go.
If Leslie loves (or supports) organized religion it's not my fault she's an idiot.
If you have $400 buried in your yard, you're hardly in need of a free Thanksgiving dinner, you fucking dirtbag.
And I don't have any love for the Catholic church, but if they're giving out hot meals, they're doing more than you are.
You're taking a meal you don't need from an entity you claim to despise. You can't put any spin on that, so don't even try. You're just a lowlife.
bill - it looks like you have to make a choice:
1. get a free meal.
2. preserve your integrity.
easy choice in my books.
She gets out of her straight jacket more often than Houdini did.
Of course I can afford to buy a dinner if I don't feel like cooking it, but why in the hell should I? Being thrifty is how I got that four hundred, and I'll likely put another four hundred away next month.
On Thanksgiving Helen and I are going to the catholic church for a free dinner, we don’t have to love the religion to love a free meal and the company of others, if that makes us hypocrites in her mind then we’re fucking hypocrites, deal with it.
I’m not stupid enough to bury my money in the yard, but I’m not stupid enough to put it in my safety deposit box at the bank either. This government can freeze access to our deposit boxes if things collapse and then you’re fucked cuz you can’t get to your funds.
BBC,
Newsflash: you're fucked anyway.
As for sponging off the church and consuming a meal someone else out there probably truly needs, yeah.....you're a real champ and an incredible role model for the rest of us. Hard to believe your own kids don't invite you over for the holidays.
I think she should get some bacon flavored lubricant and go give some dude a blow job, maybe it would get her mind off of my affairs, I'm doing just fine.
Think of my being in a catholic church for a free dinner as being amongst the enemy and stealing from them. :-) Hell, in the good old days we would sneak into enemy camps and steal their horses and livestock.
and consuming a meal someone else out there probably truly needs,
Her stupidity astounds me at times, no one here goes hungry on turkey day, and we'll be given more to take home.
And during just one day last week 60K was raised for the food bank for the bottom feeders.
That dumb bitch doesn't know what I'm doing, a few years ago she was bitching because I was talking about my volunteer work.
What a goddamn airhead.
I’ll be in the enemy camp at christmas also, hahaha
Why would I need lubricant to give a blowjob? Maybe if you kick your hooker another buck or two, or even a turkey drumstick, she'll teach you a few things.
If you don't want people in your "affairs", stop broadcasting them on the internet.
You are garbage, and you know it.
You're a bitch and you know it.
I fart in the face of the she devil.
She's the bitch in SINFEST.
And she's late to her cocksucking.
i hate bacon. i'll never understand how people can eat that shit after watching it melt into a pool of fat.
It tastes good....
Like most things, it's only bad for you if you consume a lot of it. I love to dip a piece of bread in some hot bacon fat and eat it.
Use to, hardly ever eat it anymore.
Of course Leslie hasn't got to use a lubricant to suck a dick, it was just suggested for the flavor. For all I care she can slap some bacon grease (or lobster oil) on it, I don't think the dude will mind at all.
gosh, a johnson covered in bacon grease. every woman's dream.
Maybe not every woman's dream, but some, my friend prefers whipping cream or chocolate syrup.
Your "friend" the hooker? Yeah, I"m sure she'd use anything handy to cover the fungus.
Huuuuum, she’s still here, looks like she’s going to completely miss her cocksucking, that poor dude will have to hook up with a catholic chick.
My ‘hooker’ deserves more respect than you’ll ever give her, bitch. Leslie is just jealous cuz I have things to share and all she has is her dildo and a bunch of dead batteries.
She may as well take her head out of that oven, it won’t work, its electric.
THIS IS INTERESTING.
Fungus (in her mind) beside the point, some old folks know how to get it on.
bill - quick, name 2 things i'm less interested in than your sex life.
Hey, I don't start these pissing contests. You might ask Leslie the same.
I don't visit your blog to put up with that bitch coming here to insult me, I visit it because I enjoy it, when she isn't attacking me here.
Tell her to shut up about me and things will be fine.
She's a misandrist.
And sooner or later she'll start attacking you.
attack me? no problem, i'll just drift on up to trafalmadore into the waiting arms of montana wildhack.
Have no fear about the 25th. I'll be flush with my latest Social Security check, but it's already entirely spent on two plane tickets to Nashville for the holiday.
I used to wonder why I'd see old men at the grocery store in baby blue polyester bell bottoms with zip-down white flare inserts at the knee when the style had gone entirely to chinos or jeans. Now, I get it.
Your daddy looks wonderful! With that kind of longevity in your genes, you'd better keep shopping for the best deals you can get.
BBC, I called you out on a comment you made about taking advantage of a free church dinner. You, being as deep as a birdbath, immediately start talking about sex, in your usual misogynist fashion.
Why don't you take a hint from this photo of BP's smiling dad and go do something right this year. Instead of feeding off do-gooders with a shit- eating grin on your face, go make amends with your children. Maybe you'll wind up having something to be thankful for.
nance and leslie - my dad thanks you for your support. i'm on my way to watch an episode of deadwood with him in a few minutes.
You know in that pic y'all look a little like Dr.House (Hugh Laurie) and Jimmy Carter, unless that's insulting, then there is no resemblance.
