Consider this the week before Black Friday Blackout

Halfway through November and we’re about to really get into the throws throes thick of the holidays.  In preparation for a big week next week (Black Friday = next Friday) we’re taking it easy today, but we’ll be back on Monday.

Here’s what’s in the works for next week:

  • A worthy style battle.
  • At least one decent sized pre Black Friday sale.
  • Plenty of Black Friday sales once Black Friday arrives.
  • Classification of the most scientific sort.
  • Thanksgiving style.  If there is such a thing.
  • And a three part give away at the end of the week.  Three items, three winners, one day.

Hope your weekend is a great one.  In an effort to get it started that way, here’s this:

  5. The word is “throes”… meaning pain or spasm… not “throws.” If you don’t know it, don’t wing it.  Your readers count on you to be credible.

  10. Joe, can you include, um, bedsheets in the Black Friday sale?  I mean, bed clothes?  But seriously, what the heck is a duvet and where do I get a quality one for cheap?

  11. … split infinitive 😉

    Just kidding – that’s a dumb rule from when they tried to Latinicize (word?) English grammar.  I like to split infinitives like a lumberjack likes to split logs.  Friday, huzzah!

  12. overstock has some decent down duvets for relatively cheap (assuming you want the actual duvet and not a duvet cover.  Just make sure you look into the weight (how hot you want to be), thread count (to keep the down inside the duvet, not all over your bed), and I prefer one with some separation (squares or rows) so that the down doesn’t bunch up in one part of the duvet.

  18. Woke up to snow in Spokane.  Yes, that’s right, one week before Thanksgiving.  While working through my state of S.A.D.-induced depression, I got online to check Dappered, and my day suddenly has become one thousand times better.  Cheers, Joe.

  20. But “to credible” would not be an infinitive anyway, right?  Whoa, the mescaline just kicked in.  Awesome, now I’m going to rampantly split my infinitives and end sentences in prepositions.
