LA Chronicles 15.5

It is that time of the year when everyone trades sleep in for good deals on early holiday gifts. It is the famous “Black Friday.” I’ve never been a fan of it since most items I’m looking to get on deals are never on sale the Friday after Thanksgiving. Things like Playstation 3s, Acura TLs, Pet Monkeys, Plane trips home, Anything in Nordstroms for men, or Lear Jets. Boy was I ever wrong…

Today I received the local sales papers for the neighborhood stores like CVS, Rite-Aid, Ralphs, etc. (Peep the west coast version of local stores…) I normally just throw these out with the bills I can’t afford to pay because of my gambling habit. However the sales pack was kind of thick and I associated that with good ads but don’t ask why. But since you will ask anyway because that’s what nosey people who read this chronicles do…It has something to do with the fact that the Sunday paper cost more than the papers the rest of the week because it is thicker…I didn’t make the rules I just follow em folks.

So I flipped through the pages looking for my Lear Jet or Monkey…only to be surprised with what seems to be good deals on alcohol. Now before you alcoholics start asking which store had the best deal, let us consider the scenario that has just been set up. You can now get the best deal on Hennessey at CVS where you can also get your prescription depression drugs…Hmmmm…What genius decided to discount top shelf alcohol in the same place that you can get drugs…Its like selling condoms at a sexaholics meeting…ok maybe not that extreme but you get the point…

So after I picked up my favorite spirits and my breathing medicine, I realized the convenience of the whole scenario. The only thing that I was missing was a built in gas station and a Popeyes. If I had a scanner to show you the ads I’d do it because something about seeing a line-up of liquor in the circular is hilarious and euphoric at the same time.

And now for the shout-outs, I’m giving out turkey legs in honor of Black Friday…what is funny is after all these shout-outs of random items…no one has ever tried to claim their prize…
MS – Being the one person on myspace more than me…it must be genetic…next thing you know mom will be on here…
RC – Thanks for including me on the family night even if the movie was a headache…and the leftover plate was great…
SK – Your life…Showtime…seriously…
KM – Most random texts ever…only to not respond to the reply text…
Everyone who believes me – using this as a catch all for those that want a shout-out…
