Happy Black Friday, from the Postmen

November 23rd, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

So both of us were traveling and gorging and drinking yesterday, and neither of us was able to wish you a very happy holiday. No matter: we all know today is the real holiday, wherein America straps on its worst consumerist impulses and shoves each other around Best Buy for 12 hours. I’ve never really understood the whole thing — the deals will be there Christmas Eve, too, which is when I prefer to do my shopping — but that doesn’t mean I don’t wish you good luck. You probably needed it five hours ago, but oh well. Good luck anyway.

Oh, and Happy belated Thanksgiving. Here’s hoping you feel as sluggish and fat as we do today.
