Well, I got my taxes done and out of the way. Amount I owe the government? Forty-two dollars.

I don't like to think of it as "amount I owe." I'd rather be optimistic and think of it as "amount it's costing me to buy somebody at Halliburton a new wireless keyboard." It makes me feel like I'm handing out a present rather than getting lightly screwed by the government. :)

EDIT: Besides, forty-two! Hee!

What about "The amount I owe in Taxes is the answer to the ultimate question of Life, The Universe, and Everything! That must mean I am destined for greatness!"

"Or just to have my tax forms used as prophecy in some post-apocalyptic fanatic religion..."

Exactly! It took me way too long to see the 42. I feel shame. ;)

I saw a huge hanging poster for Hitchhiker's Guide at the movies the other night, I WANT it...

Not that I can fit a 4'X8' poster anywhere in my apartment, but STILL...

Of course, I wanted the Incredibles standup thing too, and that was like 10' wide.

On a different note, did you think the Deleted Scenes on the Incredibles DVD all pretty much sucked and it's a very good thing they were taken out of the movie?

You didn't get nearly as screwed as I did -- I'm getting a couple thousand back. That was an interest free loan to the government. I'm ticked.
