Pretty sure I could face down an angry possum in a tent. It'd be like "hiss" and I'd be like "I'll come back in the daytime when you're comatose and use a shovel to remove you from the tent."

Suggested falcon names are the best part but I want to hear the story behind the racist printer.

The racist printer only prints in white. Otherwise known as a broken printer.

OK, that hot dog blaster--does it also cook the hot dogs? Asking for a friend who may not be me.

This was great. Reminded me of Apple Cabin Foods.

Obvious Plant has been treating us to great fake signs and labels for some time (I'm sure it's been 'previously on MetaFilter' but I don't feel like searching right now).
Another recent goodie is this list of NOs.

Finally, all this "free falcon" noise on twitter makes sense...

There is no more fitting picture than a gangly teen in an ill-fitting suit to go with "Kyle's Bar Mitzvah".

I may have posted this story on here before, but the printer reminded me.
The first and only time i lined up for black friday, one of the deals was a $9(and pretty nice) canon photo printer. I wanted one.
I was body checked in to a pegboard of flash drives, tackled, shoved through a pile of boxes, and the area in front of the printers literally turned in to a football style pileup. Then someone rammed my dad in the ankle hard enough to knock him over to try and cut in the line and got her cart flipped over.
People were willing to tackle and body check a 13 year old kid. Over a $9 printer, and some cheapo flash drives.
Fucking thing broke after high school. Dunno if it was racist though.

Lost it very loudly at Enchanted Mayonnaise. In tears at Date Time R2-D2 and C-3P Fro.

I'm still giggling at the centaur gifts. Also the 87 copies of Air Bud: Golden Receiver with the note "No, you can not buy just one."

We went non-camping-camping a few years ago, basically rafting with a couple nights in a cabin attached. At the end of one night we were sitting around the campfire drinking beers and singing and whatnot, and apparently we had left some raw chicken lying out, because suddenly these two adorable possums appeared and started trying to drag the bag of chicken away. Everybody thought they were really charming except for the two lawyers in the group, who proceeded to retreat into the cabin and refuse to come out until the possums were gone. Maybe lawyers know something about possums that the rest of us don't know.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that $25 for a tent is a pretty good deal, and I bet you could lure the possum out with some marinated chicken.

You know if you buy 75.00 worth of stuff that includes the tent, and get the free falcon, then the falcon will definitely take care of that possum for you.
Also I hear Kyle gets handsy, I'm not dancing with that guy.

"Gifts They'll Only Use Once" is funny because it's true.
And Feather Locklear is the best falcon name, ever.

Sure you get there early to buy the tent with a possum in it, but when you finally get to the section all the tent with possums are gone. It turns out each store only had five to sell. Maybe you get lucky and there's one left, but the box is beat up and it definitely looks like the possum has rabies.

Rabies would mean I'd never have to endure another Black Friday, so I'm not seeing the downside.

OR you could become one of the very few people to survive full-blown rabies and IIRC deal with lifelong neurological deficits! The possum tent: a veritable cornucopia of wonder.

OK, I personally think that's a little long for a MeFi tagline; but you're right, it's probably more accurate.
