@sarasasa: Hahaha, it KILLS you!

@Alohamaid: How much of the show have you seen? All the seasons? Because one season didn't even have a serial killer (other than Dexter) and one season had a serial killer who traveled the country. Otherwise, it's kind of like watching Law & Order: how many serial killers can be in NYC compared to how many they have…

@bessela: I think part of the problem is that some stores (like Target and Best Buy) enforce orderly lines and give the first people in line tickets or wristbands and those people get the big sale items. You don't hear about stampedes at those stores. But Walmart or Toys R Us? Everyone's just crowded outside and then…

@stonebiscuit is the queen in the north: I would give that mom an award, and then I would find the managers and kick them in the shins. You have to be firm about kicking people out!

@beckalina: I'm just glad I'm not in a position where I have to handle returns this year. There were so many times last year when I'd refuse a return (no returns without receipts or gift receipts) and people would throw a hissy fit and snarl at me, "Well what am I supposed to DO with this?" Hmm, let me think: ask for…

@dorasmithlong: What is about about walking into a store that makes people lose any and all sense? I can't bring myself to believe that those people are just always that heartless, nasty, and selfish.

@Shancan: I laughed SO HARD at this on the show!

@Penny_Esq: It would be for me, but so would smoking.

I think the day after Christmas is much worse than Black Friday. Today most of my customers were still stuffed full and happy from Thanksgiving, and most people are full of holiday cheer until Christmas. But good lord, December 26th? All hell breaks loose, and god forbid you refuse a return or can only offer the sale…

@kelseyrae: ME TOO. NIGHTMARES. Ugh.

I'm so glad you included Neverwhere! Croup and Vandemar are, hands down, the best part of that miniseries. The special effects aren't great, but overall it's a pretty good adaptation of the book.

Too many years in retail mean I never go out shopping on Black Friday. I always have to work, and the fact that I have to work means that the waiting overnight and early-morning shopping is no fun for me. I'll give you some employee horror stories, though.

@Ginger Gal: OMG I KNOW. She walked out and I said, "Hello, boobs!" It looks painful, like her boobs are being squashed by her dress.

@The Faery Goth Mother: Marrowbone sounds like it should be the name of an old Victorian manor or something.

@Alohamaid: Hmm. I also have super-duper long hair and no bangs right now, but maybe when I chop it all off I'll try it. Thanks!

@Alohamaid: Well, my hair would never do that without a ton of product and time with a flat iron because it's so wavy and frizzy, so I think it's pretty awesome!

@rye.bread.: Are you usually allowed to use your mom's computer when it's in the den without asking? If yes, then I don't see why it would be a big deal just to move it and use it somewhere else. Otherwise, you probably should have asked.

@Belletrist: They were roasted red potatoes with garlic and parmesan! Tasty, right? I would totally mail you some, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't keep so well in the mail. Maybe if I had owl post or something.

@Allie is a tangerine! (It's Rex Manning Day): Maybe! We just went and got pizza from Dominos. We also live right outside a big city, so if you live in a smaller town fewer things will probably be open.

@Shancan: This is awful, mostly because I started reading about how they made it and thought, "Hey, that might not be so bad."
