Great points being born in '79 myself, while you were all getting domain names for free and making your millions hehe. I guess the point I was making, in relation to your 30's/80's blitz references -- were cabbage patch kids only shipping in quantities of 5-10 per store? Did Macy's only carry 5 Big Bird toys? Sure "The Day After" has been the biggest shopping day for a good long while, but I think they're taking it a bit far these days... or I'm getting to be an old fuddy duddy already (at a mere 26!).

And yeah... I had THREE cabbage patch kids when i was a kid LOL

Well - youre right about the domains names for free - up until 1995 or so they were free - then they had to start charging $100 per name for a 2 year reg. to support ICANN

And yes - they would definitely limit the numbers of certain toys to each store - although back then you also had something called rain-checks that would allow you to fill in a little form and when they got a new shipment you were guaranteed the price for that sale day - none of this new walmart-induced BS of only 5 per store at that price and thats it - of course the other factor is that back then we didnt have walmarts in very many cities - they didnt really expand till the 80s - and very few shopping malls - so everyone went to the department stores like Macys,Hechts or Sears and the crowds were amazing.

Instead of going shopping, wives (and husbands) should all stay home and buy porn from us. This way they save gas and avoid the crowds
