@jascha Ya'Know they turned that song into commercials, I believe it was for some department store in November 2011?

Every year, I search online for the commercial, but can never find it. The modified lyrics (paraphrased)::

> “Black Friday / Black Friday / I'm going shop deals on Black Friday.”

Relatedly, nothing like desperately trying to raise money to keep a tiny non-profit going on Thanksgiving weekend. 20 years and still going, to make this weekend particularly black.

@jascha I was just talking about her OS recently. I should've waited until today, but sometimes the holidays sneak up on you.

@cocaine_owlbear @jascha I forgot that this distro existed. Last updated a year ago. I should give it a try. It has a 32-bit version, and I have an old 32-bit laptop that I can test drive it on.
@phantomkitty @cocaine_owlbear @jascha huh, live distro for Wayland , useful!
@jascha I remember there was this domain back then, I don't know if it still exists… http://rebecca.blackfriday
