 | Another Wal*Mob |
After all, we add color to holidays, events, and disasters to help our frail brains remember the details. Most of us remember Black Monday, that fateful day for world stock markets back in 1987, and maybe the Gray Monday that loomed over Wall Street in 1998. Or how about Pink Friday, Castro's annual block party each night before the Gay Pride Parade. Red Friday has at least four meanings in the U.S., and in Canada it's a new tradition to show support for the Canadian Armed Forces. Green Monday is the first day of Lent on the Orthodox calendar, and Olive Sunday was England's version of Palm Sunday.
How about if I contribute to this rainbow of festivities: How about Cream Saturday, the night before Gay Pride Parade, where thousands of men in the city manufacture copious amounts of... well, cream. How about Orange Tuesday, the day when all homeowners spontaneously install solar panels to afford their dizzyingly high mortgages and utility bills.
Enough already. There's news far more fascinating to report than charging mobs of turkey-stuffed shoppers. News like a busted marijuana operation spanning over 20 units in a high rise in Toronto, or dealers distributing marijuana gumballs at a Maryland school. Quite the entrepreneurs, aren't they!
