The Buckets by Greg Cravens for April 09, 2019

I’ll bid $5 for Pschearer instead of Friday.

Sorry for the pedantry, but Sun-day, Moon-day and Saturn-day were named after heavenly bodies. (Saturn was also a Roman god but apparently the Romans first named the planet after the god and then the day after the planet).

In Norse the Saturday was called “laugardag” (modern “lørdag”), literally meaning “bath day”. The vikings may have a bad reputation, but they smelled good!

for once…he isn’t fully wrong.

Well I know what we should call Wednesday. Come on everyone, what would we call Wednesday? You can do it. Hump day.

But who’s gonna want to use their name to replace Monday. To paraphrase Shakespeare, “A turd by any other name still stinks”.

I like the names we use, unique and much better than Firstday, Seconday, … We do have September thru December although we don’t really think of them consciously as Seventhmonth … Tenthmonth.

Tuesday becomes AIGday; Wednesday becomes PNCday; Thursday becomes ChryslerFiatday; Friday becomes WellsFargoDay…hmm I like it!!!

Tuesday, brought to you by Overstock.com! ☺

Until they go under. Enron, Invesco, Sports Authority, etc.

and then every few months or years, the names can change with the sponsorship. keeps things interesting.

In portuguese the days of the week except for Saturday and Sunday are named for their numerical order. Monday is Second Tuesday is Third Wednesday is Forth etc.

Budsday, Tostitosday, Wendysday, er, um, okay I’m stuck.
