November 26, 2010 - Black Friday Starts Run to White Christmas?

black friday
Really Short Story: The most frightening-sounding day off from work you will ever have.
Short Story: I don't know about you, but I've always found the concept of Black Friday to be a little bit racist. Of course, that's because I never knew what it meant until yesterday. So, now that I realize that, thanks to a rare day off from work, it means that everyone in the world is going out shopping for Christmas, I guess I still don't find it all that appealing. With that in mind, I am going to boycott Black Friday and all the mega-deals that retailers use to lure us in, and sit here on my computer, and maybe do some online shopping or something...ahhh, damn it! They got me! I guess there's no escaping Black Friday. shawn kemp
November 26, 2010: shawn kemp Day! - He might not be your favorite NBA player of all-time, but he might be your dad.
WHY?: About 15 years ago, a lot of kids would have been thrilled to learn that his parents were spending Black Friday shopping for a Shawn Kemp jersey for him. Nowadays, you're more likely to find a child fathered by Shawn Kemp, than one who considers himself a fan of the former All-Star NBA forward. Kemp exploded onto the NBA scene in Seattle with monstrous dunks as a relative unknown, after only attending junior college, when a short stint at Kentucky didn't work out. However, after several All-Star seasons and an NBA Finals appearance in Seattle, The Reign Man, as he was then known, was traded to Cleveland, where he ballooned in size, and had a cocaine problem exposed. This effectively ended his career. Of course, Kemp is most well-known for his love of children...or at least producing them. Kemp had allegedly fathered at least 7 children as of 1998, with that number surely higher by now. Father's Day must be a super-busy day....

TOMORROW'S contenders:
rahm emanuel - Obama's former badass sidekick who wants to be Chicago's badass mayor.
don cheadle - I'm not sure what he's actually best known for…but every time you see him, it’s like "Hey, there's Don Cheadle!"
howie mandel - Game show host trying to bring the bald-head/soulpatch look in style.
