When I see Aristocrats all I can think of is the cartoon Atristocats. Maybe they’re the Aristoracoons.

It’s a curse. My wife used to work at Disney World, so she shares the affliction.

Brilliant! I have to admit I was very slow on the uptake on the Jorge/Francisco/Ear of God character. I think the 2021 market outlook pieces have fried my brain!

I have a feeling Rusty was jamming to ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ while writing this one.

Or the writing was just a bit too oblique, which is probably the more likely of the two! Thanks, Patrick!

I feel pretty silly…but I still can’t figure out Jorge Francisco.
Maybe it’s a Northern Hemisphere thing?

Don’t feel silly - it was I that was probably being a bit too cute. The link on the closing “We’re the Aristocrats” line ought to clear it up.
