...for no discernable reason.

should i be worried that this is the govt's excuse for finding me and sending me to boot camp to work off my debts?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

and the grand total...

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

FIFTY ONE DOLLARS.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

who's coming to vegas with me???

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

what a horrible number!!

(this was genuinely my first thought...)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:26 (twenty-two years ago)

mark that's ten burrito dinners!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

why do they charge the extra cent? $4.99 wd surely be a better price?

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

tax, baby.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

you just can't win!!

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, technically i could only buy 9 @ 4.99 + .08% tax. and one taco, i guess.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't even know what these mysterious foodstuffs are btw

burrito = small donkey?
taco = little grey sticky blob to keep paper on the wall after the abolition of the drawing pin?

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

alternately, 50,000 gummi bears.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

christ, i'm not going to even get into what a gummi bear is in that case!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i know that: it was on the simpsons => it is a jellybaby stuck to your babysitter's butt

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

once again, a butt-pinching maniac has shown us the way.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

so, mr. sinker, i hear you've taken to managing a baseball team. < /vaudville>

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, fuck. Don't mention sports. They'll start talking about soccer again. Stupid foreigners.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

They don't have burritos over there? Where do all the stoners go at 3 AM? The "pub?"

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Third base!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

well mark, we had a real nice thread going here for a while.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

kebabs

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

curried chips

― angela (angela), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

a friend of mine called me last night and said he just received a gubmint check for no reason. He's been unemployed for almost a year.

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

coincidence? i think not.

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

IT'S A TRAP!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the idea of Dan saying that in a squealy Princess Leia voice.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

seriously, this is freaking me out now!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Buy some chips!

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

It could very well be a trap as my friend "Joe" (his real name btw) said he was going to take his 8o bucks down to the health spa for a massage. He's a debached idler that Joe is.

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

christ, debauched.

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Joe has no Bach in him! FOR SHAME.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

(Um, that wasn't supposed to sound dirty.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

christ, debauched

A promising new sect.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i really am worried!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Jess, don't worry unless the check says something like, "This check can only be cashed at the old abandoned warehouse outside of town on October 5 at 12:30 AM. Please wear loose clothing that will not catch on a serrated edge."

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Jess, did you work last year?

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

in 2001, i worked, yes. feb-april(ish) and sept-feb 2002.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

heh, but i already got like a massive refund check way back in april or so.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

when bush cut taxes did you get your "cut"? I got mine seperately from my refund.

― lawrence kansas, Wednesday, 2 October 2002 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

ah, that might be it. still, if you all never hear from me again, viva la revolucion and all that.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 2 October 2002 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

The taxman owes me $2693.99 dollars and I will make that mofo pay up.

Im happy and I hope your happy too.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 3 April 2003 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

You should feel pretty silly Mr Noodle as you have spent the last year giving Uncle Sam an intrest-free $2600 loan. Ha-hah!

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 3 April 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

The Canadian Government got the screw over with my tution credits for the past 5 years. Uncle Sam say jack shit of my money aside from what I spent in Boston.
And what the heck they gave me an interest free loan for 4 years, its the least I could do for 6 monthes.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 3 April 2003 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I got money back from state and had to pay federal. In the end, the govt. nets about $20 from me.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Thursday, 3 April 2003 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

So is the cartoon based on the sweets, or did they start producing the sweets after the Gummi Bears cartoon became really popular? So why do the sweets still get made and not the cartoon?

I'm confused. I blame Disney.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 3 April 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Candy? Ok. Why not.

The candy came first.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 3 April 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

That's disgusting.

At least all the Easter eggs, pyjamas, toilet paper and other gumpf associated with Winnie The Pooh came AFTER the terrible Disney cartoon.

Bastards.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Thursday, 3 April 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

one year passes...

What should I buy with the $1900 left from my refund? I'm going to buy a bit of music, obv. I think I am getting a powerbook and then my next big purchase will be a bass and a rig.

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Friday, 28 May 2004 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

you must buy me a new delay pedal

― kephm, Friday, 28 May 2004 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, delay pedals don't have enough delay.

I should get like 4 digitech pds 6000s

one year passes...

I got one for $400-plus about 6-7 months ago. I was convinced it's a mistake and was planning to go to the IRS office and ask. I haven't. Should I just live on the edge and deposit it?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I once accidentally sent my state income tax payment to the IRS by mistake. They cashed it. I called & said that it wasn't even made out to them; They said, "Frankly, we just cash everything we get." So, uh .. is that an answer?

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

6 months gone by and it's still valid?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

well they never came for me, so go for it.

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

i got an insane one a couple of months ago

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

totally out of the blue

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's valid for a year.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

i really was worried there for a minute.

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

was it for a glivillion szchashdrops?

xxpost

― D.I.Y. U.N.K.L.E. (dave225.3), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

i doubt i'm getting a refund for this year. : (

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

two years pass...

my advice: put it in escro. do not touch.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 24 January 2008 11:45 (seventeen years ago)

two years pass...

I got another one. I'm convinced it's for someone with my exact name that, despite my tireless efforts to convince them otherwise in the past, they still believe is me.

― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 02:27 (fifteen years ago)

I wonder how many out of the small gang of detractors who follow you around hooting dersively and slapping their heads would worry for one second before cashing that check? Your honesty is a credit to you, Morbs.

― Aimless, Tuesday, 22 June 2010 02:36 (fifteen years ago)

my fear of unjust prosecution is limitless

― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 22 June 2010 02:39 (fifteen years ago)

weel, there is that, too
