What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.

Let's call it Turkraken Day!

Looks harmless from one end....
Threatens to rip your face off from the other...or, more precisely, empty your wallet/checking/debit/credit accounts faster than a face-grabber gets through your helmet's faceplate.

And, if insult isn't enough, infects you with 'consumption spores'....

"I....I.....I....have to BUY!"

A ghastly fate....one sees them on metro corners, near brick&mortar audio establishments....

Decently dressed, a tad worn...an inverted woofer at their feet....headphones on the head, but not plugged into anything....a tattered card, scrawled with

I'm addicted to Lytz and Toscanini.

(Best thing to do for them is to whip the 'phone plug into a portaplayer...give 'em EDM on 10+....

They'll drop and curl into a fetal ball, twitching, moaning....clawing at what's left of their hair...

Then, suddenly (and without previous warning)...the convulsions cease.
They'll rise, smile, and start dancing.)

It's not a cure.  And I'm not a doctor...but I can look like one. ;)

Enjoy your HoliDaze....

I don't need to practice anyway....I just get bored...so I avoid wading into it.

"Ah, another 'right turn lane Only' over and across 2 lanes into the 'left turn Only' lane....which is already full, and you're hoping for someone to take pity upon your sorry (expletive)....and nobody's buying your act. *sigh*  Please return to Idaho....sooner..."
