The market's performing a back alley abortion. The market just railed PCP. The market suffered a head blow from an iron-frying-pan-wielding mother bear in a floral apron. AAPL just got Trayvon'd. GOOG is shooting up like Keith Richards. Market just dove into shallow water. More alpha than god!

Ran out of Xanax in a crowded room Fumbling for a bottle to piss in on the highway Dipping like a trucker Chewing on tinfoil Got icy gatorade dumped on its head Got caught keying a cop car Using the mouse in Excel

Okay, I'm done for now.

lol LOVE the part about the mother bear with a frying pan wearing an apron.

I hope this is better than the last batch of shit you gave me. Produced more wood than Ron Jeremy. I don't want you to yell, "Reco!" anymore. Know what you should yell? "Timber!" Yeah, Mr. Fuckin' wood.
