Ok, so last year was my first attempt at shopping on Black Friday, and it was a horrible experience. I was in line for a zhu zhu pet at 7pm t Toys r Us, and the first 100 in line were guarunteed one if they wanted it. I was one of those first 100 when I got there, but by the time the store opened at midnight, I was like #500. There were fights in the parking lot, the cops showed up, a 500 lb man was tased - it was a good time! I went into the store just to see what else was on sale, because I knew I wasn't getting a damn zhu zhu for my daughter that night. I found a few items, and the line to check out wound all the way through the store. As I stood there, I realized that if the store caught on fire, we'd all die because they were way over building capacity. Had a nice little mini-panic attack and got the hell out of there fast.

This year, I think I'm going to attempt Target, which opens at 4am. We'll see, I might have to be drunk first.

Any Black Friday stories? Good deals? Strategies or gameplans?
