I just had a totally random debate about this with a friend of mine: When you write or type 'Black Friday', do you capitalize it or not? I say you need to capitalize. It's considered a day of the week, which is properly capitalized.

Well, um, I'm afraid that's one thing I can't help with cuz I don't have a clue. Never been there Maybe someone else from the Kansas area can chime in about that one. Or once the BF forums start up usually there's a thread about what BF weather is like around the country. I do know it's pretty windy, chilly (depends who ya ask), and dry in Phoenix, AZ. Don't think we've ever had a rainy BF.

And I'll bet ya still don't have a theme song yet! BigJim must have a theme song!

When is Brad opening up the forum? Sorry, but I need a lil more time

Got a feeling this thread is gonna blow up in two weeks

The Official "Let's Ban Walmart" Week?

With all the major chains that opened earlier last year I wouldn't be surprised if they started calling it Black Week. Or they might dare to call it Black Thanksgiving, since they all opened evening of turkey day.

Welcome, geddy! And welcome to all the excitement for Black Friday!

Anyone heard from Dev lately (BigJim from the BF webcasts)? Hope everything's ok and he returns for the BF forums grand opening.

Because chaos and anarchy are so much more fun! If we all got along and agreed on everything it'd be way too boring around here. Just ask anyone, I'm an expert on the subject Don't worry, the BF forums will open for business in the next few weeks or so (August-ish). All in all, on the outside I'm ecstatic about another BF almost upon us yet on the inside I'm groaning about another two months of all my free time gone with those @#$%! charts. Gotta do it for the shoppers

You must not know Brad that well. The more you people tell him to open up the forum early, the later he'll threaten to open it. I'm with Brad and say wait to open the BF ad deals forum til midnite on November 22nd

Welcome to all our newest members! Remember, only 8 more months til Black Friday 2012

Home Alone. Gotta go with a classic.

Heroes season 1 DVD set (already started watching!) 7-function pocket knife Targus backpack to hold my books + laptop for college lifetime supply of socks more chocolate and divinity than I could possibly eat on my own ... and $$$! Well, 'tis the season of giving. Hope you and the kids recover from this special Christmas gift soon!

On noes! NORAD making fake videos? It's a conspiracy!!

Whatever y'all celebrate this holiday season, make it a good one with those you love as we gear up for yet another year of deals and shopping! Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone in Gottadeal land!

Welcome to NORAD Tracks Santa You and your kids can track Santa Clause in Google Maps or Google Earth as he makes his rounds on his Christmas Eve journey across the globe. There's YouTube videos and Panoramio photos at each location that Santa visits to help educate the kids about each location. There's even some fun Christmas-themed games to play in the Countdown Village. Santa's current location: Dudinka, Russia. Next stop: Omsk, Russia.

Or maybe a lil' bit of a bigger font for the instructions. They're so tiny people often miss it. Maybe if the detailed instructions were a clickable link that opened up in a pop-up window?

Thanx for all the input, folks! I'm taking all these ideas into consideration for next year. Since I'm a 'coding nerd' and not necessarily a 'multimedia guru' I'm not very good at designing something that's visually appealing. Therefore I need all the help I can get. Or maybe I'll just let one of Brad's fancy-schmancy web designers have a go at it Keep the ideas and comments coming!

It's over. Yay! Wait, I mean... boo hoo?

Well, the charts pretty much told y'all everything there is to know about the hot Black Friday items that were available this year. Now it's your turn to tell me something! Lemme know what you thought about the charts and any of their improvements this year. What did you like? What didn't you like? Anything you'd like to see next year? Improvements? Concerns? Helpful remarks? Sarcastic comments? Oh, and you can still view the 2011 charts here: blackfridaycharts.com, and the 2010 charts from last year here: blackfriday.thestationchief.com/2010

She turned herself in. Black Friday pepper spray suspect surrenders in LA

I've noticed that a strong majority of bad BF stories all take place at Wally-World. Especially the ones about people being trampled and injured in the BF line. I'm really surprised WM hasn't said or done anything about this chaos that happens at their stores every single year
