momof5plus1hubby Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Then I look over at people...Why the clutter?? Ah it's another pallet..Anybody have a box cutter
littlemama Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 The shrink wrap comes off, and it's not the right toy! I run to the right pallet and grab the Bratz - oh joy!
littlemama Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 Tug o war for the Barbie ends with doll decapitation, but I win the battle and scream with jubilation!
ShopperMom Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Now it's off to the check-out aisle, with a hop and a skip, and a great big smile!
cleverbffool Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Until I see that huge long line, I am so upset I start to whine.
ShopperMom Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Then my husband pats me with a comforting..."there..there" Ten more cashiers are now here!
cleverbffool Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I then maxed out my credit cards, And left the store peacefully and unscarred.
zeebas Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 But i am not done there is still so much to do....... and off i head....to store number 2!
ShoppingBunny Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Good morning! Hello! So nice to meet you! :) Yes, it's my first Black Friday, not sure what to do... The end of the line... isn't here? It's where?? Should have camped here last night?!?! It's way back over there?!?! Thought I came prepared with my well-thought-out plan: I set my alarm for 3! And pulled the seats from the van!! Oh, look! The doors are open! Thus begins a stampede. But why the rush? Not everyone could possibly want what I need... This is so amazing! Quite hard to believe! The crowds... the commotion... I was so naive. Well, I've got my list, my wallet, my holiday grin. Okay, wish me luck... I'm goin' in!!!!
ShoppingBunny Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 My apologies! Just went back to the start of the thread and noticed the "2 lines of rhyming" rule. I got a bit carried away. Forgive my indulgence.
able Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 on i must go with out stopping for a meal. i know i was warned on the site "gottadeal"
littlemama Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 bump- this is great guys!!! It makes this English teacher proud!
cleverbffool Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Now I head to Big Lots hoping to get that crock-pot
nebraskaparkfan Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 "It's Mine! It's Mine!" I shout out with glee - I run toward the checkout - they'll never catch me! (for this I spent 4 years in college getting a degree in English)
amyers12345 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 with deep sense of pride for all I've found, I still keep a watchful eye for those deal stealers, "I'll stomp your butt into the ground!!!" (me too nebraskaparkfan!)
nebraskaparkfan Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Off to the checkout I go - but there's one last catch I have all these ads I want to price match
stationchief Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Here's two for somewhere in the middle: "In my car I race to be the first in line, All the way shouting 'The laptop is mine!' When I suddenly arrive I see such a start, The line already wraps to the other side of the mart!" (More than a few years of Dr. Seuss under my belt!)
nebraskaparkfan Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 There's folks with their blankets, and folks with their heaters, and folks cutting in line - those dirty cheaters. (yes I know that's my third rhyme, but I'm avoiding the dishes)
stationchief Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 There's folks with their blankets, and folks with their heaters, and folks cutting in line - those dirty cheaters.(Continuing the middle part) ... "There's the folks that didn't potty - there doing a dancing show,Looks like the other guy printed his ads a month ago. There's the next door neighbor and all her kids in their chairs,Oh look: there's some folks who forgot their winter wears. There's some folks coming now - boy are the gonna whine,When they realize they're place is the back of the line."
stationchief Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 "Suddenly, without warning, doors open to the call of wars, I missed my cue to move and now I'm seeing stars! I get knocked around unwillingly as the line roars to the front, And I think someone shoved me away with something blunt! As I'm trampled on the ground I think I'm seeing red, Someone ran over my spleen before they stepped on my head! As my stars cleared away I feel I may start to cry, As I kiss my poor cheap laptop good-bye. " (I know this is all more than two lines, but I'm on a roll here!)
bsutton1 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Crowds, Excitement, Big Sales Galore Crazy Beatdowns at the opening of the retail door
stationchief Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 "I laugh at the folks who are freezing to save a dime, Cuz I'm nice and warm! I'm shopping online!"
nebraskaparkfan Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I made my plan, I double-checked everything But tragedy struck full of dread and doom By mistake I'd set my alarm for 3 in the afternoon. (the above story is true - the names have been deleted to protect the technologically incompetent)
stationchief Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 "And now the best part comes as I feel I'm in heaven It's time to start counting the days 'till black friday 2007!"
308swife Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 With only 364 more days left to go It's definatly the time to start saving my dough. *ive been up for 39 hrs straight*
lelee24 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 for though Black Friday will end, there are still 30 days to shop in so many more ways!
stationchief Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 "And I heard Brad and Ross exclaim as my PC turns out it's light, 'Happy holidays to all, and see you next year on this site!'" THE END. (Yes, I know this site is here all year 'round. Everyone stick around after the holidays! Now someone should compile all the poems in this thread, put 'em in the right order, then publish the GottaDeal BF 2006 Storybook. )
