The Tale of the Walrusi

In '96 or '97, there was a news clip on CNN that featured a herd of walruses on a beach, a beach with a cliff rising just behind it. For reasons known only to walrus cognoscenti, the walruses were waddling up a trail to the top of the cliff, in a long line, and then were plunging off it to their deaths.

This, of course, was greeted with great guffaws by Janice Shell, who brought to our attention the striking similarity between walrusi behavior and that of a lot of the stocks we owned.

Lemmings may fly off cliffs, but walrusis do it with a much bigger splat. And since we couldn't agree on just what the plural of 'walrus' ought to be, we sort of settled on walrusi.
