Black Friday

I couldn't bring myself to do it; there was no way in hell I was gonna go out into that mass of human misery called "Black Friday" and conduct my holiday shopping. I love Christmas, but man do I hate the shopping!!! Tis the season to get your family members everything they've been longing for for the last 12 months...by any means necessary!!! I know, I used to work retail; it's never a pretty sight. Whatever happened to "seasons greetings" or "tis the season to be jolly" or "peace and goodwill to all mankind"??? Seems like within the last several years, that's been replaced by long lines of moody, whiny, pushy people who wouldn't hesitate to push you down to the ground for the last stack of Yu-gi-oh playing cards or the last copy of "Halo 2". Things aren't as bad as they used to be; thanks to online shopping, you can avoid any and all contact w/rude procrastinators who've waited until the last moment to buy that special gift for their loved one and can only see the look on said loved one's face as they cut you off on the highway to get to Best Buy before closing time. But, that doesn't stop these people. They will undoubtedly find someway to make someone in retail miserable just so their loved one's won't be. Never mind the other 364 days out of the year they could've enhanced and enriched the life of a loved one. No, no, no, no. All of that pales in comparison to this one day that carries so much weight that if someone were to fail in their gift giving they must be shunned and marked w/a scarlet "G" for all to see...

All-In-One Innovative Pizza Box: Four Plates And Leftover Box

Coolness!     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     All-In-One Innovative Pizza Box: Four Plates And Leftover Box via The Huffington Post | Full News Feed by The Huffington Post News Editors on 10/21/09 William Walsh, 42, believes that his innovative pizza box invention, known as the GreenBox will radically change the way we consume pizza. The top part of the GreenBox rips off to become four plates, while the bottom part folds in half to become a smaller box good for about four slices of leftover pizza. In addition to reducing the waste generated by paper plates, the GreenBox is 100% recyclable. Walsh is currently trying to market his idea. Check out this video demonstration of the GreenBox!
