Even ignoring the non-US contingent this needs an "I got phased out and didn't even get a lousy T-shirt" option.  Mostly for Cal.

Ahem. :sleep:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I probably won't get it until I do my taxes next year. I didn't get either of the 2020 stimulus but got it in my tax returns for last year.

The lack of empathy for people making too much to get any stimulus is downright shocking.  :mad:

I wonder if I'll get this one.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I may pay to get that hole in the ceiling fixed.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Time it says that it will be deposited to my checking account...but for the last two, I received a physical check.

Was that just for the Trump signature. :hmm:

Hookers and blow it was.
Is it wise to be with hookers during a pandemic? :unsure:
