Black Friday & Will & Grace

Our Friday wasn't so black as much as it was a pale grey, perhaps, stuccoish.
I wasn't allowed by my general manager to purchase a Wii, but I was permitted
to get Dryers ice cream out of the red and into AC/DC greatest song ever.

I'm starting to get into songs from the 80's now like and I love it when those bands make new vinal. I pretty much hated them growing up as a kid, all except Billy Idol. Billy rocks, even by today's standards.

We're not big black Friday people. We like Black Saturday: The Saturday before Christmas when you get great deals from stores like, WinCo, Ross, Dollar Store, Joanns Fabrics, Subway and 7-11. You'd be amazed at the deals these stores have for consumers.

Will & Grace is on 'We'. Gotta go.

Some parents drive me craz-ey

This evening I was at my 5 year olds wrestling practice
and I noticed this other child, maybe 11 years old, dressed in three layers of long sleeve clothing, football pants and knee pads running on a treadmill.  When he was done, I asked him what he was doing and he replied,  "I need to lose some weight".   This poor kid was pretty heavy, and I just couldn't help but wonder where this kids parents were.  I told the little sport that he shouldn't run with so many clothes on because it just wasn't healthy. 

I was so fired up and I couldn't wait to see who the parents were.  Imagine my surprise when his dad turned out to be one the assistant coaches of the wrestling team.  Probably a 300 lb guy himself, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that KFC was a major food group for their family.  

Now, do I talk to the coach and tell him how he's setting a horrible example for his son, and what he could do instead?  Could I bring a down comforter and some duct tape so I wrap him like a Christmas present and make him run laps around the gym?

You tell me.
