Gee, here I am actually on a day off!! I understand 'Black Friday' comes from the economic phenomenon where store owners are supposed to 'get in the black' of financial solvency, but I want to know why we don't call it 'Green Friday' since they're getting all that 'green'...moolah, dough, casharooney...into their coffers. Of course, unless a green Master Card is used, all the plastic that's being swiped...run across the machine, not stolen...is multi-colored. Maybe Rainbow Friday would work, since the 'pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow?!!' Of course, the Green Peace-ers and the Rainbow Coalition-ers might get fussed up about our swiping their colors...stealing, not running across the credit card gadget...so I guess we'll just leave it as is.
Wikipedia actually has listings for Black Sunday through Saturday, so y'all can go Google them if you want some fairly interesting historical reading.
Or, you could pick up a tattered old copy of Black Sunday, the first novel of Thomas Harris, author of the Hannibal Lecter series. By the way, I read Black Sunday, but not the others.
Or, you could go watch one of my favorite movies, "Red October," or go listen to "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles or "Green River" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Just remember that classic line from "Adventures in Baby Sitting"..."Aint nobody leaves here without singing the Blues!!
Got tunes?
