I thoroughly enjoy the many names that TV news journalists are coming up with to
describe the recent roller coaster ride on Wall Street. This morning I heard "Wacky
Wednesday!", "Turbulent Tuesday!", and now they are predicting today will be
"Thrasher Thursday!" They deliver this news with a near child-like excitement, as if
these are the names of thrill rides at a theme park.

Actual picture found when you google image "volatile market". Do you see the joy on these people's faces? I guess it is somewhat exciting to be down in the stock exchange when this kind of shit is hitting the fan, but shit is still shit, even when it's flying through the air in all directions.

I think this is a more accurate depiction of what's currently going on in our economy:

Here are some other names I've coined to describe a crazy day on Wall Street:

What-in-the-tarnation Tuesday!
Oh Fuck Friday!
Slide Whistle Wednesday! (imagine a slide whistle sound while looking at a stock chart)
Wet-n-wild slippin-n-slidin Wednesday!
We're-Still-Rich-So-Who-Really-Cares Wednesday!
Weeeeeeeee!!!! Wednesday!
Under-My-Desk-and-Suckin-My-Thumb Thursday!
Reminds-me-of-that-song-by-Tom-Petty-"Free Fallin" Friday!
I-Don't-Understand-The-Stock-Market Monday!
And-how-does-this-effect-me? Monday!
