| 'Thanksgiving is pono, (righteous) it's the days after that cause mayhem...' this blog oringinally ran 11-28-11 Blog # 495. By popular demand it is being posted as an encore (Hana Hou!) Enjoy! |
Black Friday is routinely the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Black Friday originated in Philadelphia back around 1975, which originally was used to describe the traffic mayhem that occurred the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday actually indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, hence the term "in the black..." Black is also the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people look thinner. Priests wear black to signify submission to G-d. black can also indicate evil, so look out all you Black Friday shoppers.
For the week after Thanksgiving every-day should have a color designate not just Black Friday.
I would like to propose the following colors to represent the days of the week commencing after Black Friday;
1- White Saturday, Brides wear white, white goes with everything and don't forget that doctors and other medical professionals along with chefs wear white. White Saturday would be the day you go to your psychiatrist wondering why you ate so much on Thanksgiving and spent your life savings on Black Friday, a day so designated to seeing medical professionals wearing white, hence white Saturday.
2-Red-Sunday, Red is the color of love, red is also the most emotional color, it stimulates a faster heartbeat. red clothing makes one look heavier, and red stands out and is noticed, that's why many fire engines are painted red. Red attracts attention. Red Sunday would be the day that hospitals are overwhelmed with heart attacks from overeating on Thanksgiving and arguing with loved ones.
3- Blue Monday, blue is the color of the sky and ocean, blue is tranquil causing the body to produce calming chemicals, they say wear blue to a job interview, since blue symbolizes loyalty. Blue Monday would be the day you go to your pharmacist to fill your perscription of anti-depressants from the depressions brought on by visiting family during the holidays, the term Blue Monday is said to defer one from having the blues which is why everyone shops the Internet on this day.
4- Green Tuesday, symbolizes nature and is the most popular decorating color, Green Tuesday would be the day of the week proceeding Thanksgiving where the health food stores have record sales because of all the heartache and upset stomachs since Thanksgiving day and people decide a more natural lifestyle may be right for them.
5- Finally we have Yellow Wednesday, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms and babies cry more when left in yellow rooms, Yellow is also an attention getter, many magazine covers are in bright yellow to get our attention from up to 10 feet away.
Yellow Wednesday would be the day that stores try to get our attention once again with big yellow signs that read, 'Suckers!'

Just wait! "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas..."
via facebook;"I'll resist the temptation to repeat the old joke about how "White Christmas" is a holiday favorite of the KKK, since I know that does not apply here."
In your resistance, you gave us the gist of da joke!
via facebook;"Well, the joke was funny (IMNSHO), but also wanted to make it clear that it's just a joke and definitely doesn't apply to present company...."
Doug, you worry to much about being politically correct, remeber this is dakinetalk, where anything goes! ;D)
via facebook;" Kimo -- to me, "politically correct" is a euphemism employed by negativists in referring to what I consider simple courtesy.
One can disagree without being disagreeable.
One can say almost anything (notice that I did get the point of the j...oke across) while still couching it in terms that are respectful where respect, as in this instance, is warranted.
And by being very selective in where negative opprobrium is appropriate, the very selectivity renders it increasingly effective.
Where negativity is not intended, negativity should not be expressed. Is that being "politically correct"?"
Yes that is being politically correct however Kimo-san needs to heed your example!
You guys are too much! My face is pink from laughing. Rema
Rema, that was funny too! Mahalos JR
