Posting flyers is tempting, but I'm lazy and don't have the money to make lots of copies.

Since the day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year, people against corporations etc have decided to make it Buy Nothing Day, where you show them you can go a day without shopping and such

The episode of Beavis and Butthead with the Clash in it was just on, sweet. And I'm observing Buy Nothing Day, only because I have no money. Otherwise I'm a conformist :smoke:.

obese_breasts 11-21-2005 11:51 PM

Only conformists smoke.

Brain Toad 11-21-2005 11:56 PM

I don't think I've actually gone shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, too crazy for me.

I'm working on a new avatar, it will be awesome.

EDIT: I fayled

buy nothing day is pointless. they shrug you off and make their money the next day.

Seriously though, the company will not care. And there is no way you can get everyone to not buy anything.

TakeWarning 11-22-2005 06:44 AM

I'd have to agree with TAND here, plus there will only be a very very small percentage of people participating.

They were absolutely crazy. ANd they covered Uncontrollable Urge which is always good.






Yesterday I listened to over 140 Bob Dylan tracks or 9-10 hours of solid Dylan.

Even if a lot of people participate, they still have to buy what they need eventually, so the company is not going to be hurt at all. It is like that time when they tried to get no one to buy gas for a day, estimating it would hurt mobil like 5 billion dollars or something. It was just a load of crap, they just jacked the price up the day before and the day after. And that day they had gas extremely low around me.

Can you O-D on Bob? Which one's your favourite? Desolation Row has always pushed my buttons, that or "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright", mostly because that's the first Dylan song I ever heard, and it was sung by an Irish folk musician and sounded unbelievable.

Mainly because the guy in my position in the A team is better than me :thumb:

KingOfSka 11-22-2005 12:03 PM

As of right now, I'm going to start posting in the pop-punk forum.

RCVA 11-22-2005 12:07 PM

I don't understand cricket at all, I have watched it and tried, but still couldn't. It's pretty confusing for me.

I play soccer. What position do you play?

I aim to please. That, and Gumby is awesome.

KingOfSka 11-22-2005 02:00 PM

F'uck, my shoulder has been killing me the past few weeks. I think it has something to do with the way I'm sleeping. Drumming probably just aggravates but whatever. My doctor reccomended I get this $130 tempur-pedic pillow. F'uck...

What can I take to ease the pain?

AIRIC 11-22-2005 02:17 PM

Take like 30 pain killers.

white_riot 11-22-2005 02:20 PM

Unlucky man, it sounds like your in a lot of pain. Just take a alot of pain killers or buy the pillow but that is pretty steep.

DaveToopes 11-22-2005 02:25 PM

That sucks. whenever I sleep wrong, it's my neck that hurts. Tempurpedic pillows are so nice though, i felt one at a friends house.

I drum too!

white_riot 11-22-2005 05:17 PM

What are you people up to today?
