COTW: Black & Blue Friday Before Silly Monday

credit: RJ Matson, St.Louis Post-Dispatch

So, dear readers, now that the tryptophan coma has worn off, time to enjoy the officially unofficial, "Black Friday following Fat Thursday". Think of it as a sort of Boxing Day with discounts. On this day people will go to great lengths and perhaps even suffer bodily harm to buy 'stuff' they don't really need so they can store it in their box-rooms and garages until it is given away at the church rummage sale or Goodwill drop box later in the new year. If you are stuck with kitchen patrol and miss the retail wonderland, no worries, you still have Silly Monday to spend your dough. Enjoy!
