Eh, fuck off. It’s not my problem that you can’t find another rhyme.

(it IS the BBQ pit, after all!)

I’m trying to see things from your point of view, but I can’t get my head that far up my ass.

Ok Drain, you asked for it!

::to the tune of “Mr. Sandman”::

Mr Taxman, give me a break!  
I’ve stared at these forms  
'til my head aches!

I’ve read and re-read  
your byzantine regs;  
until my eyeballs feel  
like soft boiled eggs!

So, Mr. Taxman,  
I need some reief!  
Leave me some money  
or my girlfriend will leave!

She’ll take her CDs;  
and the VCR too!  
And leave me with nothing  
but my taxforms and you!

Mr. Taxman, give me a breeaakk!

If you can’t tell, I did my taxes today.  
I consider myself well-and-truly fucked.

{{Actually, you ass, I [Dream of Jeannie]know more about Kosovo that you [Fab Lil] do. Being from a political family, this has been discussed more often that it’s been on the news. So, you want to go head-to-head? Pick a topic, any topic.}}

I’m closing this thread because (1) jeanie checked the box that automatically sends her copies of all posts; (2) she later changed her E-mail address to a non-working account, and (3) my mailbox is filling up with bounced-mail notices from every time somebody posts. BTW, she was using a hotmail account, if that tells you anything.

Someone needs to be savagely beaten about the head.

And preferably with the banning stick.

My brain hurts and I feel like I may have been transported to an alternate universe…

Someone is very small words explain to me what’s going on? It’s not even noon yet…

Actually I am moderatly impressed you found it. Perhaps before slinking away in shame, you can explain (a) how you pulled this up and (b) in what fit of stupidity did you decide to post to it.
