    @Nathan Obbards: No need. Just take my advice. When you go into the door, body check the old lady next to you into one of the end displays...

    "Why the old lady?" you may ask. Let me explain. A teenager or young adult will take at least 3 or 4 hits to take down, and they will likely get up within a few seconds. The old woman on the other hand will likely only take one hit and stay down. Eliminating the weaker members of the herd will increase the likelihood that you will get the deal you were looking for, as well as cull the weak from the gene pool.

    @Toastie:

    on that note - you know how you can't buy beer with food stamps?

    well, why the fuck CAN you buy an HDTV with motherfucking welfare checks? or unemployment checks?

    it came to me the other day how obvious of a loophole that is. as a Libertarian i'm fundamentally opposed to social programs like welfare, but given that it already exists, i'd at least like to see some sort of regulation on the spending of that money. the fact that somewhere, someone on the dole is playing CoD MW2 on a bigger TV than i have while I'm at work rather sickens me. #blackfriday2009

    Sometimes you can find deals on stuff you DO need. Or your wife says you need it.

    They are also going to have crappier deals this year:
    Ramen noodles-$14
    Pringles-4/$139
    16TB of cloud storage-$4096
    Bananas-$87/lb

    @Navin R Johnson: Unfortunately, that isn't true. Me and my 3 sisters were all homsechooled. We all turned out socially fine. We integrated into a real school with no problems when we finally went.
    I think you people need to stop make generalizations here and telling someone not to do something based on that. Each individual is different.

    Yes, there is a stereotype of socially awkward kids that are homeschooled, but that depends on the factors, the environment and the parents.

    Homeschooling itself does not cause social awkwardness, the environment the parents put their children in does. You can be homeschooled and still be put into environments that will foster good social skills. City sports and church come to mind as good ways to still keep a kid in a social circle. Local homeschooling groups will also work the same way as they sometimes provide sports or field trips or activities for homeschoolers to do together.
