Happy MGoBlackFriday FauxPOSBang!
Points don't work but wth it's Friday...Black Friday that is. Any of you actually standing in line for stuff? Read a few articles that suggest BF might be tapering down in popularity or people are just staying home and doing this online?
As you sip your coffee in the comfort of your home here is what you're avoiding today....
November 29th, 2019 at 7:39 AM ^
Not avoiding the mall, unfortunately. Family is in from Iowa and they want to hit the shops. Plus we have reservations to eat at 3:00 (right in the middle of the game today, ugh).
Just wanting to fast forward 24 hours to be in an Ann Arbor parking lot to tailgate and prep for witnessing an impending Michigan victory.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:41 AM ^
Iowa people see a mall and have culture shock. They shop at gas stations
November 29th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Yes... Kum & Go, to be specific.

We're having a Friendsgiving today. 35 people coming over. I may overdose on Xanax before the day is over. I'm sure Hatter could recommend something else if that doesn't do the trick.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:56 AM ^
I'm partial to a little klonopin for stress and anxiety. It doesn't really get you high, but you will not have a single fuck to give about anything.
Xanax is what young people take so they can intentionally black out and not be held responsible for their actions the next day.
You're welcome.

Not have a single fuck to give about anything? Sounds perfect for football Saturdays
November 29th, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
We have a damn near identical taste in drugs Hatter. I will add that klonapin doesn’t make me groggy as fuck like Xanax does, and this is commonly reported. I believe it’s because of the metabolism rates (1/2 life of the drug in the body)
November 29th, 2019 at 7:54 AM ^
I guess they had a sale on Black Friday Shitposts!
November 29th, 2019 at 8:04 AM ^
No points, no bang.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:17 AM ^
I’m at work today. I’d much rather be here than at a mall teeming with bargain hunters.
bang me
November 29th, 2019 at 8:51 AM ^
Black Friday is totally farcsical.
November 29th, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
Agree, but timing worked out great for me. This year. Our washing machine crapped out this week and we are heading out to take advantage of the sales. I don’t expect to see too many people fighting at Lowes.

I walked into Dunham's at 5:15 (they opened at five and my commute has me driving past there before six on a normal day).... I was the only non-employee in the place. I said, "where's the black friday rush?" The manager said, "your it".
I think they were disappointed for having to be at work at such a stupid hour and no shoppers showed up. Worked great for me, I got the three screamin' deals I was after and was out of there in like 7 minutes.
November 29th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
I think I'd rather be dead than find myself working in a Walmart on Black Friday.
November 29th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
Ditto here. Not a lot of traffic on the road and stores aren't that crowded.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:53 AM ^
I'll bet that today is the day you're most likely to die on the toilet.
November 29th, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
You watched too much of the Sopranos.
November 29th, 2019 at 8:56 AM ^
Don't worry, the MGoPoints are stored on a server in Ukraine. HotelPutingrad says so.

When you need a job done right, bleachbit it!

Pretty funny you racist piece of shit. Eat your own dick, RGard. If you have one.
November 29th, 2019 at 9:02 AM ^
Win the battle for Atlantis today, win The Game tomorrow. I’d consider that a successful thanksgiving weekend.. GO BLUE BEAT OHIO
November 29th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
If we can do that, I won't mind if the volleyball team loses.
November 29th, 2019 at 9:12 AM ^
I'm in line for Dicky V's book. I'm interested in the chapter that explains how one of the four on the mount Rushmore of coaching gets out coached consecutive years by the same school but two different coaches. I'm imagine it will somehow lead to a discussion of the Norte Dame fight song.
November 29th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
It was incredible how Roy sensed the team needed a timeout when they were only 24 points behind. Whatever he is doing now, it’s not coaching. I’d call it taking advantage of UNC’s massive recruiting edge while mailing it in on game day. I knew it was going to be an UNC/Roy Williams slurp-fest when I saw Vitale sitting next to Roy during our Wednesday game. And then we were up by double digits over the #6 team in the nation and the announcers told us that Michigan was going to be in the first division of the Big 10. Oh really, top 7 in the conference? Whew. Because after seeing us dismantle UNC I wasn’t sure about our chances against RUTGERS! The whole game was told from a UNC frame of reference as if it was their radio team doing the game. UNC missing shots? Must be that THEY don’t have shooters. It couldn’t have anything to do with US having three all-big 10 caliber defenders. Fuck UNC, fuck ESPN, fuck Vitale.

I am sitting in the family room enjoying a nice cup of tea for now. We have one thing to pick up - a terrarium for our second bearded dragon - at PetSmart later this morning, but that's it. The rest of the shopping is done online exclusively.
My mother is probably wandering Briarwood by now - 75 years old and still a huge Black Friday fan.
November 29th, 2019 at 9:47 AM ^
Bang the Zags, Bang the Bucks, Bang me!
November 29th, 2019 at 9:53 AM ^
No way in hell you're getting me into a shopping center on this day! Big crowds of people are not for me, especially when they get rude and ugly. Besides, my wife handles the shopping online - I just pay for it. Win-win, she gets to shop and buy things, and I don't have to!
Time to watch the DVR'd second half of the UNC beatdown. Family duties called yesterday, got back home and in bed at 4:30 this morning. Gonna be a slow day...
November 29th, 2019 at 10:10 AM ^
I'm doing some shopping later, but for now I'm letting the wife and daughter sleep in and having a nerf gun and lightsaber battle with little Hatter. Although that will probably wake them up.
Also there's a James Bond marathon on one of the movie channels today. Which I seem to have all of this weekend.
November 29th, 2019 at 11:02 AM ^
I watched Citizen Kane last night. I figured 79 years was long enough to wait. Imagine my surprise to see Orson Welles clapping maniacally. I blurted out, “That’s the clapping gif from MGoBlog!” What a discovery. My mom looked at me like I was crazy.
{spoiler alert} Rosebud is his sleigh!
November 29th, 2019 at 10:41 AM ^
Imagine all the BANGPOINTS!
November 29th, 2019 at 11:25 AM ^
Traditionally, Black Friday hasn't held much appeal for me, for two reasons: 1) I don't like upgrading stuff (phones, televisions, cars) if what I currently have still works just fine, and 2) I'm usually still digesting Thanksgiving dinner.
Better to spend the day at home decorating and watching college football. You never know what you might see!
November 29th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
Never do Black Friday. There’s a 97% chance you can get what you want/need online and for a better price.
Better to sit at home, drink, smoke a bowl, and watch football
November 29th, 2019 at 12:07 PM ^
It's FOOTBALL Friday.
I'm watching the D-8 MHSAA game right now, and will soon be heading north from Denver to see the Boise State @ Colorado State game.
November 29th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
Happy Thanksgiving! Still can’t fathom the idea Christmas is less than 4 weeks away. Not shopping today. We are visiting our son in Pasadena, CA. We’ll do almost all our shopping for kids/grandkids online. Wife doesn’t like doing it as she thinks it takes away from fun/spirit of Christmas. I think she’s nuts!
So much looking forward to the game tomorrow! Go Blue!
November 29th, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
Avoiding humanity as I come down gracefully from my turkey-and-sides food coma. Some online shopping, just messing around. To hell with the malls.
That deserves a bang!
