Ha Ha, ‘May the Fourth’ Be With You, Etc.

by Ken Layne  


Did you know it’s “Star Wars Day” here on Earth? Yeah, ha ha, it is a funny wordplay thing — IF YOU ARE A LISPING DINGUS — because it’s May 4, so you can say, “May the Fourth Be With You,” and then somebody’s just gonna wail on you, the same way Darth Vader is wailing on the stock markets today, as seen in this live video feed from the NYSE. Did you know Darth Vader just murdered the hell out of millions of people, as part of his career? And yet you let him into the Stock Exchange? [YouTube]

Wondered what was causing the market to plummet today…. So it’s the Americans for a change instead of the Greeks and Europe being the bad news.

You’d think they’d be more careful @ who they let in, esp. since corporations are people and therefore should be vunerable to being shot….

Tomorrow it will be Joe the Plumber, because “Sink”-o de Mayo.

It could be said that wall street traders are all really murderous psychopaths at heart.

I just hope they never let Sarah Palin open the markets… then we’re really doomed.

I’m glad that oil-slick-colored person is doing something fun to keep his mind off his current troubles.

It’s surprising that the stock brokers let Vader into their lair; he’s not nearly evil or psychopathic enough for them.

Something tells me this happened on December 22, 2009.

(Hint: That something is the large LED sign that says December 22, 2009).

Did John Phillips Sousa open the NYSE on March 4th?

rina May 4, 2010 at 3:20 pm

Actually, on 12/22/09 (when the video was taken, I believe) the market closed up. So, YAY DARKSIDE!

Well, New York *is* the ‘Empire’ state.

Bernie Madoff, I am your father.

[re=570071]ArkansasFred[/re]: Well that and the large wreath made of conifer branches with a bow and lit with small lights might also help.

Darth seen throwing things and yelling at lunchtime, “Why did f’n Subway quit making those yummy Sea Turtle sandwiches… I wish I were dead, f’n eco-terrorits”.

I’m just spitballing here, but maybe the meglomaniac master of the universe is not exactly who these people should be putting on their rostrum at this point.

Slick Rick? Niiiiiice.

rocktonsammy May 4, 2010 at 4:14 pm

I bet liquor, weed and sex won’t be included in the celebration.

It will be tomorrow if the browns can stay out of trouble long enough.

Sharkey May 4, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Boy, that Mr. Vader sure gets around.

thefrontpage May 4, 2010 at 4:46 pm

May the schwartz be with you.

Hoplight May 4, 2010 at 7:03 pm

March 4th, Star Wars fans and . . .

[re=570074]WadISay[/re]: dang, you beat me to it. (heh, “beat” “Sousa” get it?)

ladymacbeth May 4, 2010 at 8:15 pm

why is there a lit up christmas wreath on the wall?

if they can’t follow the x-tian holidays how will they possibly qualify for our teaching jobs? or landscaping jobs?

BobTheBuilder May 4, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Jabba the Hut would seem more appropriate.

Mr Blifil May 4, 2010 at 11:48 pm

Or in George Rekers’ case it’s the equivalent of “hello.”

That reference to the gangsta rap made my day.
