Did you all know that the original concept of "Black Friday" was to wear all black after the previous day's gorging because black is so slimming?

******** sheep must heighten one's sensitivity and perceptions. Maybe if you had *** with animals and donated more time to the 15 business, 3 websites and 57 charities that you are involved in you would have a pure soul, emkay.

Well I was drivin' down I-95 the other night.

Somebody nearly cut me right off the road.

I decided it wasn't gonna do any good to get mad.

So I wrote a song about him instead.

It goes like this...

Were you born an *******?

Or did you work at it your whole life?

Either way it worked out fine

'cause you're an ******* tonight.

Yes you're an A S S H O L E...

And don't you try to blame it on me.

You deserve all the credit.

You're an ******* tonight.

You were an ******* yesterday.

You're an ******* tonight.

And I've got a feelin'

you'll be an ******* the rest of your life.

And I was talkin' to your mother

just the other night.

I told her I thought you were an *******.

She said, "Yes. I think you're right."

And all your friends are ********

'cause you've known them your whole life.

And somebody told me

you've got an ******* for a wife.

Were you born an *******?

Or did you work at it your whole life?

Either way it worked out fine

'cause you're an aaaass...hole tonight.

You're Canadian. I have a painful chilhood memory of slipping on the ice in Montreal and breaking my jaw. Also the fact your name ends with 64 makes me believe you could be a one of at least 64 cyborgs sent to destroy planet Earth.

What the **** is wrong with people?...

Wal-Mart worker trampled to death
NEW YORK (AP) — A temporary Wal-Mart worker died after a throng of unruly shoppers broke down the doors and trampled him moments after the Long Island store opened early Friday for day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, police said.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store.

"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority," said Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families at this difficult time. At this point, facts are still being assembled and we are working closely with the Nassau County police as they investigate what occurred."

The 34-year-old employee was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., Nassau County police said. The exact cause of death had not been determined, and the man's name was not released.

A 28-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was taken to a hospital for observation, where she and the baby were both reported to be OK, said Sgt. Anthony Repalone, a Nassau County police spokesman. He said four or five other people suffered minor injuries.

Police said the crowd of shoppers knocked the man to the ground at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after the store opened at the suburban location about 20 miles east of Manhattan. It wasn't immediately clear how many people pushed their way in. A metal portion of the door was crumpled like an accordion.

The industry's largest retail group said the incident was rare.

"We are not aware of any other circumstances where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving," said Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at National Retail Federation.

Shoppers around the country line up early outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it has historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year.

Many stores open early and stay open late. The Valley Stream Wal-Mart usually opens at 9 a.m.

Items on sale at the Wal-Mart store included a $798 Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV, a Bissel Compact Upright Vaccum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" for $9.

Nassau County police were at the scene investigating.

And I was training to become a Wal-Mart greeter, because I thought it would be safer. One thing kept getting in my way during the interview. I just couldn't get over my utter and complete hatred of people. :cool:

The word "SALE" has been genetically programmed into women's minds to transform them into an unrelenting beast. Black Friday is the ****** of the word "SALE".
