Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked, which means it’s time to do some serious itinerary planning for the big day. See, I like me and my fiancee set up a full contingency plan based on what we want the most for us, then comes gifts for others. Come on, we need to set priorities people! Strategy is the name of the game on Black Friday.

So Best Buy has some moderately cool deals, especially in the video game department, but nothing mind-blowing. Though what might be notable is that Best Buy is not going to allow for anyone to get hurt this year because of their doorbuster deals. Apparently they don’t take “death by stampede” lightly. All doorbuster sales will be handled via tickets, which will be passed out up to two hours before the 5 am door openings. Hit the jump for a full-list of Black Friday Best Buy deals. Doorbusters are followed by an asterisk.

Even though I’m all-man, I don’t mind being a puss every once in a while and cooking for my woman. Cooking usually equals ordering a pizza and saying I made it from scratch. The problem with this plan is that most cookery is made for ladies, as is the nature of things. So I need a pizza cutter that’s really going to let everyone know that I’m a feral male on the prowl despite being prone to cook for my woman.

Oh… I’m sorry, is “my” too much? Does it imply ownership? I meant the woman I screw when I come home from my long day of spitting on strippers and beating hookers.

This Pizza Cutter Chainsaw lets the opposite sex know that you’re not only capable of slicing a pizza, but also fully able to kill their exes and dispose of their bodies without a trace. Not that you would, of course. Just sayin’. All of that information from one device? Where do I sign?!

I’m not sure how much progress has been made in the measuring cup industry since its inception, but something tells me the old cups are on their way out. These Measuring Pours attach right on to any bottle and measure out a precise amount of liquid to pour.

The liquid is deposited into a reservoir which only holds as much as is needed. The Measuring Pours only allow the proper measurement to be poured, effectively eliminating a tedious task from your cooking.

Never mess with a chef’s oven when he isn’t looking or you might get yo’ face tenderized, fool. Cooking is serious business. Sometimes you’ve gotta show a punk who’s in charge.

Ken Goldman’s Meat Tenderizer Ring has a dual function; weapon and tool of the trade.

Is this really necessary? Come on now. At this point the list of available Nintendo Wii accessories is getting out of control. What’s next? An egg whisk add-on that I can use to play those ridiculous cooking games? No thanks.

Warm temperatures, cool drinks and plenty of beach babes. Doesn’t matter. You’ll be that guy stuck in the beachhouse too busy to go outside ’cause he just got the new lime green Nintendo DS bundle and plopped down money for Chinatown Wars. Lucky.

Look, I know the title of this post features a pun shittier than that of an Ayn Rand novel but isn’t this neat? Someone took the time to make a couple of eggs and a delicious-looking green ham from everyone’s favorite building block. Now if only they could make a full blown creation of The Lorax, one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books; now we’re cooking with gas.

Even orcs and trolls love the occasional cupcake. Get them together for their best undead friend’s birthday and just try to keep them away from the tasty goodies. Delicately crafted from a fully-leveled cooking skill, these Horde Cupcakes are perfectly suited for WoW get-togethers or even as a goody for gaming conventions.

Cooking is totally customizable, so you can add tiny bits of human bone or gnome flesh to give it that extra punch. Even the most ornery of Tauren is sure to be satisfied.
