Clear and to the point. But I call a lot of repug politicians and companies fuckwads, so it might get a little confusing.

That way, folks could say "Cthulhu swallowed my company" or "Cthulhu took my job." At least the victims would be able to say something cool about what happened to them.

The Rats in the Wallstreet is the clear winner. Nominee for runner-up: "The Doom That Came to Willard."

A few other Lovecraft titles are perfect Bain monikers as is, without modification:
Ashes
The Crawling Chaos
The Lurking Fear
The Thing on the Doorstep
The Tomb
The Trap
The Winged Death

And, by the way, doesn't Romney seem like he could have been revivified (partly) by Herbert West, Reanimator?

Of course, if I were any good, I'd be looking for a homonym for the synonym for the homonym. Ah well.

It's one of my favorite scenes, but very NSFW due to language, hence my not posting the clip
