X-Entertainment | April One Five.

April One Five.

Tax time is at hand, and I've been scrambling to find every last receipt I'd saved for the past two years. In compiling 2003's, here's some the year's more interesting write-offs:

-- Incredible Hulk Jell-O Pudding
-- (2) Hermit Crabs
-- Lime Candy Canes
-- Chia Pet
-- Peeps Halloween Cocoa Bats
-- (2) Kid Cuisine Microwave Dinners
-- Electronic Hulk Hands
-- 8,000 AA Batteries

I think my forms are shaping up to be a first.

My youngest brother had a Fisher-Price Space Shuttle toy that was somewhat like the Milton Bradley Starbird, at least in the noise department. I remember, you’d press the button, and the lights on the wings and the ear-piercing beeping noise from the engines would go for a minute. (Why was it beeping? What’s it doing? Backing up?)

Anyhow, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3578415.stm">RIP Sir Peter Ustinov, double Adademy Award-winning actor, UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and voice of http://www.doctorsnuggles.com/">Doctor Snuggles. :’(

And I thought I had weird taxes…

I’ll bet you could add all those Christmas candies, too, and the Advent Calender. Yes, there’s a way to get back at Mare: send her to the IRS. ; 0 )

Don’t forget the 15-year-old can of fettucine.

Good God. I had a professor in college tell us soon-to-be-starving-artists never to throw out any of our reciepts. Ever. Man, am I glad to know I’m not the only one who squirrels them away somewhere. Yay, I feel more normal!

Yeah, if I were still inside my country, I’d probably be saving some interesting receipts too (luckily I’m in Canada right now, and don’t have to worry about taxes). Here’s some of the things that would show up:

–Popeye candy sticks
–Nerds
–Double Dragon VHS
–Spy Hunter NES Game
–Ninja Turtles VHS

…and the list goes on. I’m sure the IRS would not know what make of me. What can I say? I’m a bizarre individual, probably not unlike many of those who visit this site regularly.

I work for the IRS (in the UK tho) i’d LOVE to get a tax return like that on my desk, far more interesting than the usual stuff.

So…um…im IRS, i read X-E but not at work because we dont have the internet for security reasons :’(
