My brother worked at Sears today for this event, and said a customer told his co-worker to fuck off after not being able to buy a guitar hero system. Some other disgruntled customer walked into a woman's bathroom and rubbed feces on the walls, but atleast none of them got trampled or shot.

I can't quite put into words what I think about a society where people get so excited about buying things (at somewhat decent discount prices) that they kill other people.

Yikes. I'm glad that didn't happen at my Walmart, but there was a total lack of security. Just as the doors were about to open a county sheriff drove by the entrance between the mob of people in front of the doors and the line. As the doors open the mob made a break for it and the line became a mosh pit of people with carts. It was crazy. My previous years at Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, were much more organized.

My big purchases today were a Leapfrog Leapster from Walmart for $30, some bookshelf speakers from Circuit City for $20, and some luggage from Macy's for $50.

I picked up 2 tubes of toothpaste, a candy bar and a universal remote from CVS for $13 (nothing special about that price) but I received $13 in CVS "extra care" bucks or whatever they're called to spend in a future visit. This is exciting stuff, folks.

The Walmart I went to opened the doors WAY early (I heard it was like 3 o'clock in the morning) so people could mill around in a somewhat reasonable fashion, find the stuff they wanted and then check out at 5 when the discounts kicked in.

Smart.

since you're going to be an idiot, and poke fun at me for something i enjoy, even though the subject was never brought up, i will show you my interesting find of the day pertaining to marijuana:

Quote:

2,700-year-old marijuana found in Chinese tomb


Dean Beeby
THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.

The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ``cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.

"To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent," says the newly published paper, whose lead author was American neurologist Dr. Ethan B. Russo.

Remnants of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and other sites, and the substance has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus. But the tomb stash is the oldest so far that could be thoroughly tested for its properties.

The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.

The marijuana was found to have a relatively high content of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, but the sample was too old to determine a precise percentage.

Researchers also could not determine whether the cannabis was smoked or ingested, as there were no pipes or other clues in the tomb of the shaman, who was about 45 years old.

The large cache was contained in a leather basket and in a wooden bowl, and was likely meant to be used by the shaman in the afterlife.

"This materially is unequivocally cannabis, and no material has previously had this degree of analysis possible," Russo said in an interview from Missoula, Mont.

"It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp, confirming the man's high social standing.

Russo is a full-time consultant with GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, a cannabis-based medicine approved in Canada for pain linked to multiple sclerosis and cancer.

The company operates a cannabis-testing laboratory at a secret location in southern England to monitor crop quality for producing Sativex, and allowed Russo use of the facility for tests on 11 grams of the tomb cannabis.

Researchers needed about 10 months to cut red tape barring the transfer of the cannabis to England from China, Russo said.

The inter-disciplinary study was published this week by the British-based botany journal, which uses independent reviewers to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of all submitted papers.

The substance has been found in two of the 500 Gushi tombs excavated so far in northwestern China, indicating that cannabis was either restricted for use by a few individuals or was administered as a medicine to others through shamans, Russo said.

"It certainly does indicate that cannabis has been used by man for a variety of purposes for thousands of years."

Russo, who had a neurology practice for 20 years, has previously published studies examining the history of cannabis.

"I hope we can avoid some of the political liabilities of the issue," he said, referring to his latest paper.

The region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.


insane.

I ended up going to one of the Circuit City stores that will be closing soon - what a waste of time. There were about 6 TVs left, a handful of underwhelming laptops, some Jesse McCartney CDs, and tons of overpriced Monster cables. Oh, and there was some blank media - $26 for 50 generic DVD-Rs, and similarly crappy prices for blank CDs.

In the local paper today, they said that a disgruntled customer at Lowes was detained by police for hitting a 20yr old female clerk in the face with a set of window blinds.
I feel bad for the girl, and think that guy is a huge douche for attacking her like that, but damn did that make me chuckle a bit.

And once again, I'm afraid to go out Christmas shopping.

I don't know what your local Wal-mart parking lot looks like, but mine is generally filled with Jesus fish and WWJD bumper stickers. And if they aren't acting like selfish abusive assholes in the store, they're doing it in the parking lot.

I've come to the conclusion this year that Christians are generally bad people.
