I will say though that the courier has hated me a few times... like when the 4 rotors, drums, and brakes for my trailer showed up... 220 lbs in 6 packages. All for cheaper than I could get it locally.
I have bought a few things a Black Friday pricing a week before Christmas or the second weeks of January. So, I think a lot of people are also realizing the Black Friday deals aren't all that unique.
Fun fact about black Friday discounts, the merchandise companies slowly ramp up prices heading into November so that they can offer such amazing sales. 50% off amazing! Oh wait, they jacked the price up 30% since September.
And a lot of times the stuff that is deeply discounted has been made to be that discounted... in other words, you're buying inferior shit for less money... go figure. Occasionally deliveries screw up, though... like today... some pieces-parts for the trailer I was hoping to get today so I could spend the weekend installing them won't be delivered due to "weather or natural disaster". Seems that there was a bit of snow between Vancouver and Kelowna overnight and it's delayed all the shipments coming in. Shitty, but still worth it.
When I worked for Sports Authority they used to sell TRAYL brand bikes. Super low price, people couldn't resist, they were always on sale, marked down from some made up MSRP value. The margin they got on those bikes was insane and they were the biggest piece of shit bikes imaginable. Everything about them sucked, literally everything, then people got annoyed when it wouldn't work, or the rim bent going over an ant or it doesn't shift well. But hey people couldn't help themselves, there was such a huge sale they just couldn't say no
I envy guys' (and women who are shaped like fit models') ability to shop online for clothes. I wear five different sizes so it's always a total crapshoot when I try and buy something online. It would probably still be difficult to work around my boobs even if women's sizing were based on anything in reality, but it always seems so nice to be like "Well, my legs are 32" long therefore I am a pants size 32" (or however it goes) instead of "Well, I'm this size in this store, and this size in that store, and in sweaters I'm this but in dresses I'm this, and in jeans I'm this but in other kinds of pants I'm this, and that store assumes everyone has the figure of a 13 year old boy so I can't even go there." I bought a couple pairs of jeans online during a Labor Day sale and happy-panicked at them all fitting correctly. But of course after I wore them a couple times now the waistband keeps rolling down to mid-butt, so, there goes that. That being said, I just spent $75 for $250 worth of mostly clothes online because I'm SO GOOD/Jewish at shopping, so we'll see how it goes. Although, as dangerously easy and convenient online shopping is, I genuinely enjoy going to actual stores. You know how women be shoppin.
In other news, one of my favorite Twitter accounts is @WhoresofYore, which posts vintage porn, and I dedicate this photo to Dixie: Spoiler I've been looking at this picture for a while and wondering, biologically, why it's necessary for women's pubes to cover such a large area. Here's some that's a little less pube-y: Spoiler Here's some Victorians doing it: Spoiler And here's some for the ladies: Spoiler
Stop doing what you're doing. Or else I'm going to start doing the spoiler thing and nobody but CJ and Allord will get a kick out of it. I miss those two where the fuck IS black Jesus? He hates Florida, I pray it did not consume him. Florida's got him.
What is there to be that upset about for any one but the first one? And even the first one you can't get too mad at because I'm pretty sure that's Betty Page, and that would be blasphemy.
That first image is,...,shocking. If I saw that I'd be kind of afraid, like it wants to kill me or something
Someone should just take a screen shot of that bush and post it, see what people think it is, I'm thinking more than a few won't think thats a vagina.
What people will think is that a woman was bitten by a werewolf right before a 12 gauge went off inside her body. Show it to Cronenberg and his eyes would turn into dollar signs.
Check your sanity at the state line. That's how it goes down here. Florida is one of the best party states, the women are ridiculously hot, more events, music scenes, and attractions than you could ever do. Yet, there's this itchy feeling like one day the state that has given you so much is going to consume you. You might be attacked at a grocery store by a guy in a clown suit wielding a ninja sword, and the media is going to spend months trying to explain it. I made it 4 years last time before I had to get out. But it takes you back. As soon as you feel down on your luck that phone rings. "Hey, would you like a job IN FLORIDA?"
Yes, home of the HR Giger Palmetto bugs. Aren't they hilarious when coming at you. And the cicadas. Divine. Like looking into the eye of Lucifer himself.
Just finished my xmas shopping. Amazon prime is amazing. I'm not sure how many people are aware of it, but if you do shop on amazon (who doesn't?) always use Amazon Smile. The way it works, you pick a charity (mine is Children's Brain Tumor Foundation), and whenever you order a product shipped by amazon, they donate 1% of your purchase to the charity you chose. It isn't a lot, but the money does add up. And plus it's free to you, though it isn't tax deductible since they're donating not you.
You guys aren't very good at this posting beauiful women thing. Here: The trick is you have to move away from the white trash sites.
