The Queue: Black Friday

Man, Black Friday is just fun to type and say. I’m not a huge fan of runaway consumerism, but when I read the phrase Black Friday I imagine something far more portentous than what we actually get — it sounds like the day the first Space Needle gets destroyed by Martian Separatists or the arrival of the Taklarsaza flesh looms.

Instead, it’s the day people can and will beat you unconscious over who gets that Bratz doll.

Anyway, it’s the Queue. Here we are now.


The Queue: I hate turkey

Just because it’s Thanksgiving doesn’t mean I have to actually eat turkey, does it? Because let me tell you a secret: I hate turkey. I have disliked it since I was a small child, and my Grandma has a very funny story she likes to tell about how sulky I would get when Mom sent me to school with turkey sandwiches. (Grandma, please, I’m 35 now and totally a grown up about these things. Mostly.)

I think I am somewhat more polite about my dislike of turkey these days, in that I usually take a slice with a smile and then cut it up and move it around my plate so no one notices that I am not eating it. That’s my plan today, too.

(Hopefully no one from my family reads my writing. They probably don’t, right?)

But while it’s a holiday here in the States, Queue questions don’t take the day off: let’s get to it.
