Wall Street seemed to be much happier when I was spending money at the Mouse. :(

Well, if you're sure about that...

My rate of spending at the Mouse was a heck of a lot less that the losses I had yesterday, so I'd be willing to make the sacrifice, even if I did have to keep walking a gazillion miles a day!

The market will be up over 300 today.

Sorry, but it's a classic expression.

I really don't care about "classic expressions". We are about to enter a time of change, and the pervasive dead cat-ism should stop.

Are we going to have to hire a medium? We have a gh0st conversing with a dead cat.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Nothing's wrong with dead cats, but there is so much bad will toward us that we will never achieve out part of the American endless Dream until others stop abusing us just to find a bounce.

Perhaps you should take your complaints to Mr. Juch, then. I said I didn't get excited by the bouncing.

I got my 401K statement yesterday. I only lost $1600 since May....

I guess I'll just have to give up that plan to retire at 35.....

You open your statements? I just toss mine in a drawer and
don't bother to look at them. Guess I will eventually, but it's just easier not to right now.

Sure I look at them. But I don't ever remember what was in them.

Same with the company stock statements. I always look at them too, but I have no idea how many shares I have.... I couldn't even come up with a reasonable guess....

Yeah, I mean what's the big deal. So we probably lost a billion dollars or two. Just be sure to lower the allowance for the servants....

And yet you take vacations to some ridiculous oversized playground? No wonder the business got better after you croaked. Maybe you should try working a few more holidays....

EVERYONE should go back to WDW! And walk a gajillion miles a day! It's good for your health and the economy!

Possibility of a late-January visit. It's only 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Tampa, if necessary............

But the numbers don't lie!

I made a profit vacationing at Disney Land!

One day back at work, and the economy crumbles. :oops:

I have no problem with dead cat-ism....

I greeted Mini on her return from Thanksgiving. Rain Man took such good care of me, I never escaped even though my cage had two gaping holes in it. He was a great Mouse Dad, and he made me the nicest headstone with mouse cartoons on it. But mom says no more rodents.
What's that smell?
