If I had a turkey fryer and a smoker, I'd bring those along with my grill out to have thanksgiving in front of best buy..maybe next year.

Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms Yah, S.:

No words can express how absolutely on "target" your observation here . . . is.
(But I just used twelve of them anyways . . . =)

BING---FRIGGIN'--GO!!!
(Those three words don't count on account of they ain't actually words. Per se.)

I especially appreciate your indirect allusion to parking a Turkey Dinner Truck/Mobile Vehicle outside of every Major Retailer to accomodate the mindless hoards of "Shoppers"/"Bargain Sharks" on "Black" Friday/part of Thursday(aka Thanksgiving) . . . Of course you would have to pay off/make arrangments with the Local (OKC) Enforcers of Dietary Distribution and Protectors of Public Health Inspectors to fire up your gas-powered generator, etc . . . at least according to Steve L's EXCELLENT recent article on the topic in what is left of The Oklahoman.

Sorry.
Excellent Observation.
Kudos to you Sir (or madam)

Happy Thanksgiving to YOU!
(No kidding. No joke.)

I drove a little trying to find a best buy that was not fully occupied. no luck.

What's going on at Best Buy? Is this just for Black Friday (more important than Thanksgiving...?) or is there some Thanksgiving special...?

So . . .
Are the huddled mini-masses, encamped even prior to "the Thanksgiving", yearning to breathe free?
Or are they simply seeking the gleanings of the promised bargains that most certainly will not satisfy?
And exactly how do they compute the fractions relating themselves to the 99 or the 1?

{Read that to yourself--in the accent of the David Souchet version of The Hercule Peroit Mysteries (NOW STARRING ON NETFLIX virtually for free) and wonder . . . WTF? =)

I'm seriously thinkin' that The Local Food Truck Brigade/Casual Conglomerate needs to be springing into action . . . With permits/payoffs/etc. properly placed . . .

Probably just Black Friday. You have to be lined up before 10PM tomorrow night to get a ticket to say when you can go in when they open at Midnight. The biggest deal seems to be a 42" LCD flat screen 1080p HDTV for $199.

I guess the Best Buy Security Staff are at minimal risk of being trampled.
At least so far . . .
Hope--like Lottery Ticket Sales--springs eternal . .
Especially at Thanksgiving.

(But is the Food Truck Brigade mobilizing? =)

I think not.
But I could be wrong.

Yeah, no $200 42" Big Screen for me this year lol. Hell of a deal, but its really worth about $300 tops.

A picture is worth a thousand words . . .
Thank you for the proof of that truism . .

So does that mean if you aren't lined up with a number you can't get that item for that price? If they sell out at the store you're just out of luck?

Screw the Mobilized Gypsy Street Vendors (of tasty, nutritional and safe sustinence) . . .
CHK needs to get The Whole Foods Truck over there to Feed The Occupiers!

Permits are already in place.

Dey's hongry folk out dere . . .
Doncha know . . .

That's correct. Looks like their ads are showing 10-15 units, at least, will be at each store. My guess is no more than 20 and they'll be taken right away.

And they don't give rainchecks? That's just a publicity stunt then. I guess it works though.

You're right. I checked the website. They have several items that require a ticket and says they don't give rainchecks.

Yeah good ol' "door busters" get the people there for the cheap deals and hope they walk out with other stuff that still has some margin left in it.

Though once a far more avid camper than I am today, I camped where there were trees, critters and fun, not shops and orange nets.

I canna imagine any 'bargain' that I would camp out for alongside a store, in any season. This same imagination deficiency is why I'll never receive earn the free lunch merit badge from Chik Filet. I dinna do such before we had kiddos, and now I have grandbabies so I truly see no possibility.

To those who do so, I may not understand your thinking, but luck to you and I hope someone brings you some warm turkey soup.

You people just don't understand the movement. They are there because "the man" wants to keep prices high for the consumer, but they won't let 'em. They are the 65% (off).

I think it's more like 95% off

Sleeping on concrete and missing Thanksgiving isn't worth saving $100 on some electronics to me but I guess some people enjoy it.

Just like the original Occupiers, if these people would just go get a temorary day laborer job for 3 days they would make enough money to buy at regular price whatever it is they are camping out for 3 days for, and have money left over. It is sad commentary on America that people will camp out to save a hundred dollars but they won't go to work for 3 days to earn a hundred dollars.

These clowns should do what I did - I bought TVs last year from Best Buy on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I then waited for them to go on sale 2 weeks before Christmas and went in and got the 1 month price guarantee discount. I ended up with 2 36" HDTVs for $198 each, which was the same price as they were on Black Friday but I didn't have to wait in any lines.

And the libs say we aren't in a moral decline of society..... Surely the campers must be the evil 1% elitist millionaires and billionaires clamoring to save $100 on a TV....surely they will make Obama redistribute the TV's.
