BLACK FRIDAY {Things you’ll never see!}
Here we are. Yet another BLACK FRIDAY upon us.
The same crap will be peddled, such has been true the past 15 years. Technology. Clothes. And other “disposable” consumer goods.
In other words – utter garbage that will be rendered obsolete or ruined in a short time. Just think about the stupid crap that was so great back in 2010 – where is it now? The garbage dump? Some dusty drawer?
Man – if I had my way in this world – the following items would achieve “doorbuster” status:
Things (we wish) had blockbuster BLACK FRIDAY sales in 2017
-
- Food. Good food, in fact. Like bacon, steaks, cheese, eggs. You’ll never see a “BLACK FRIDAY” deal on the essentials, right?
- Gasoline. How awesome would it be if petroleum companies offered “BLACK FRIDAY” deals on fuel? I’d love to fill up my cars with premium gas for just $1 a gallon this weekend. I’d stock up, in fact!
- Booze. If my favorite economy wine (Rex Goliath) went on sale for $5 for a (double) bottle – I’d buy 100 cases! That will never happen.
- Property Taxes. Imagine if cities offered “pay up front” discounts for your already overwhelming quarterly ransom bills?
- Same with utilities – like electricity, heating oil, natural gas or propane. They’ll never participate in “BLACK FRIDAY.”
All the most essential commodities of life will never get discounted. Only the utterly useless shit.
Give a “BLACK FRIDAY” discount to your BANK ACCOUNT!
The best thing any and all of you can do – is give yourselves a 100% break on your bank account. BY NOT SPENDING A DIME.
Take this year to propagate a message to your friends and family: “We will not be participating in any Christmas gift-giving ever again!”
We’ve said in the past, that it is profoundly terrible to give gifts ever. With the exception of the innocent children – and their incredible happiness (and only for a few short years until you hammer this message into their supple minds).
Christmas (and other year-end religious holidays) should be reserved only for perhaps some occasional gatherings and good spirits (literally).
The consumerist accumulation of “things” should be shunned worse than cynics of today are.
There has to be a better way!
About Hoboken411
We’ve been “blogging” as Hoboken411 since before Twatter and Fakebook infected the masses. Back in 2005, it was all about politics and other bullshit in and around Hoboken, New Jersey (and the tri-state NYC area in general). But since those social media “apps” have amazingly coerced the majority of the populous to “blog for free” (to make Fuckerberg insanely wealthy) we’ve taken a slightly different approach. We talk about whatever the fuck we feel like talking about (including some things in Hoboken). But our main objective is to slap the “mentally-enslaved morons” (as Mark Dice eloquently says) upside the face with a dose of reality. We know full well that most people won’t be receptive to our ideas all the time. But feathers get ruffled to this day still – which means (as they say in the medical industry): “It’s working!”
Belong to a Christian group where Christmas is optional, as there are no real biblical connections to the holiday and only the consumer/pagan history that keep it going.
The main point is if you explain to kids why there is no need to celebrate Christmas and not use the excuse to be a cheapskate, but give them an alternate day to exchange gifts and express love for each other, they generally live through the “trauma” and only have issues explaining it to other kids.
* free shipping does not apply to ammo
Free shipping doesn’t apply to ammo.
True. But I gladly pay a useful entity like UPS or FedEx to deliver my ammo to my door from out of state and deprive the useless miscreants in Sacramento the usurious sales tax.
It’s a win-win.
Just wait until they get the records and send everyone a past due tax bill for it, AND they will.
Not too far from our house is a county recycle center. It’s an interesting experience observing what people throw away. To see the piles of vacuum cleaners, flat panel TVs, Keurig machines, etc. tells you everything you need to know about our modern society.

Thanks for a hearty laugh out loud on this one.
I have never once gone on a black friday shopping spree. I never will either.
