Black Friday — a day that some guy at Goldman Sachs called “the Special Olympics of capitalism” — often has a body count, and now you can keep score, thanks to BlackFridayDeathCount.com.

A screen capture of those three tweets, just in case. Found via Huffington Post – click to see their article.
In three consecutive tweets, Kenzie Lind summarized America on Thanksgiving weekend quite well. She may have invented Twitter haiku!
Thankful for shopping

And on it goes with my Great Declutter sale!
If you’ve been to one of my parties, chances are that you’ve seen the kitchen cart — er, BAR — that’s performed so much yeoman service as the storage and preparation area for drinks. It’s also functioned at some point as a TV/stereo/videogame cabinet, as well as a stand-up computer desk. And now, it can be yours!

It’s in good condition with very few scratches or nicks on the side, and the top has remained smooth and shiny. I’m throwing in the ice bucket attachment that can hang off its side.

As I implied earlier, it’s been well cared-for, because I am a grown-up. Take a look at that wood-grain countertop. Smooth like buttah!

Whether you’re preparing drinks, dinner, or spreadsheets, this cart/bar has plenty of depth to accommodate all sorts of kitchen work, drinks mixing, a big honkin’ desktop computer setup, or a nice home entertainment system.

The wheels roll smoothly, and the front two wheels have brakes that work perfectly, so this thing won’t be rolling around your kitchen, living room, rec room, or wherever you end up putting it.

It’s a great cart/bar/stand-up desk, and it can be yours for $100. Want it? Drop me a line!

To my American family, friends, and readers: Happy Thanksgiving, and for those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgivingkah!
Since I’m a gentile and Canadian, it’s just another regular day for me (well, as “regular” as my days go, anyway), so I might as well post this:
I may have lost my “Honorary Member of the Tribe” status, but I still love a good Hanukkah gag, especially one this smokin’! Be warned: it’s a little racy and may not be appropriate for your workplace, especially the last line in the song. Have a good Hanukkah, folks!

The folks at Official Comedy — the high-larious people who brought you such gems as the infamous and hotly-debated Millennials in the Workplace video — have a new, Thanksgiving-themed video for you. It’s a supercut of people from movies and TV shows, from Homer Simpson to Kenny Powers, using that classic phrase: jive turkey.
