This essentially chronicles the 3 weeks leading up to my own HDTV purchase minus crying in the fetal position during my shower (also known as "my thinking spot.")
@Nathan Obbards: The labyrinth isn't that confusing... except the part where she gets put in a bubble and shows up at a costume party for no apparent reason. What the hell was going on there?
@MarcusMaximus: Well, it's confusing in a different way, like is David Bowie a man or a woman? Is he a pedophile? What is up with those guys pulling body parts off and flying heads? Did I take shrooms or drop acid and didn't know it? Was that beer really that strong? I'm oddly aroused, why? Is that a cucumber in his pants? Does he have nipple antennae to communicate out in space?
While the story is fairly straight forward, it is very confusing.
@MarcusMaximus: Nobody really knows... except Jim Henson. Nevermind the url title; I'm not sending you out to some freaky garbage... if you visit and search [www.sweatpantserection.com], you will find an over-the-top third-party review and commentary from a hilarious girl that had my rollin'. I wanted to post the link directly, but it's fair to say that the url (title) is NSFW and I don't feel like having to explain to the IT department why the "sweatpantserection" website is not what it sounds like. I suggest you all do the same.
@dragon:ONE: A Michigan/Ohio/Indiana secret that could, if they tried, give WalMart a run for the money. Everyone shops at Meijer, not Walmart, when you have one available.
It's Blackhole Friday. The deals are difficult to detect, except for traces of hyperbolic radiation. However, if you get too close you'll get sucked past the Sales Event horizon, where your budget will be stretched thinner and thinner, until not even your credit can help you escape the massive sucking force. #targetblackfriday
I don't know, that 32" TV and those external hard drives look mighty tempting to me... and that XBox 360 bundle might be good for the folks that missed Wal-Mart's special last weekend. #targetblackfriday
Prices have been low at most retailers for the past year so I haven't been too surprised to see these kinds of deals coming out.
Hell, Macy's for example has serious deals going on if your a guy. I basically paid 30% of what I would have (needed jeans) had I bought these same items a year and a half ago.
@UnderLoK: Yeah, I picked up a pair of $70 designer jeans for $15 the other day because the store had decided to cut back on the number of brands it carried. Too bad they only had one pair in my size though.
@Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I always loved the term "Designer Jeans" as a signifier of superiority. As though other, lesser, jeans merely evolved haphazardly and are struggling to survive in a rapidly changing, harsh department store ecology. #targetblackfriday
@zeroprime: #zeroprimeowns: Perhaps, but with a lot of legwork, a thorough study of the jeanome (in various pockets of the world) shows an evolutionary process. It would be a unseamly waist to hem and haw over the issue. Of course, most people don't cotton to debates over the evolution of jeans. I say, zip it, and let the scientists button it up. #targetblackfriday
@En0s1: I've bought season 1 thru 3 of House during each of the previous years at Target, and the good thing is they raincheck DVD's, so if it's out of stock, you can still get it. I like House, but I won't pay full price for something I can watch for free. I will pay a nominal fee to hear why it's not Lupus.
And also, the RoofCoffeeCup is full of awesome, so of course he's starred. #targetblackfriday
@GitEmSteveDave_IsSlacking: Agreed... discount on entertainment is always full of win in my book. Also, I do not doubt the RoofCoffeeCup... I'm just dealing with star-envy today. #targetblackfriday
@GitEmSteveDave_IsSlacking: I tend to do that with House as well. Wait for the Target sale. Saunter in. Find the usual empty shelf. Collect my rain check. My buy point for that show is $19.99. Anything less than that is gravy. #targetblackfriday

I feel like I just watched Labyrinth again, only more confusing and with less acid.

By the way House may even be worth the full price. C'mon Target... take more of my limited disposable income. #targetblackfriday
