In which we commemorate the way that we kicked out the British and the natives all at once!

I'm Yankful for good old American-made tea.

careful there canadian. We tolerate your countries tomfoolery and general niceness only because we are plotting on taking your trees when ours run out.

Be prepared to be renamed "North Montana".

How about Montanada?

Had delicious high-end sushi for my Thanksgiving meal. 'Twas delicious. And high-end.

We went out to Applebee's and ate. I forgot how good their chicken strips are.

Afterwards we waited in line in for TRU's Black Friday for the first time ever. Good thing we found a close parking spot to take turns waiting in line.[rant] Why do (most, some, whatever) smokers think their cigarettes don't stink? Why do they think non-smokers don't mind sitting next to a lit death-stick? Goddammit, some people were lighting up when the wait left was only ten minutes. [/rant]

Anyway, I had a good Thanksgiving. I'm hoping to hit a few sales today and see if anything's left.

NOT THE BLACK FRIDAY SAAAAAALES!

I waited in line for KB Toys once. Not a single new Transformer. Never doing that again.

I'm Yankful for your right to do it, though. And my right to eat ten thousand calories in one meal.

We shall defeat you with our top notch, highly trained and incredibly badass Navy!

Currently consisting of two submarines and a pirate ship. Inside a mall.

... When you come to take over, bring me some turkey.

But we can't be Yankful for your right to kill yourself with cigarettes?

Based on the news on every channel in my hotel room i was expecting shopping carnage on 'Black Friday' - however in downtown B'more there were about 10 people.

i got 40% off some grots in Banana Hammock Republic though.

I guess people are still afraid of Omar.

Word got out that there was a British terrorist in town. He would make everyone stand politely in the queue. Couldn't handle that.

Downtowns in the US are usually kitschy touristy joints, less so than a lot of the flea-market-y stuff I found in England. Most people head for the big box Target/Wal-Mart/mall sales on Black Friday.

I don't even know if Canada even does Black Friday to the extent you USians do.

I seem to get fliers in my mailbox advertising for "Black Friday Sales", but it's like furniture stores and I don't know of anyone who actually takes advantage of them.
