Happy New Year 2024 from THE SIMPSONS...... 25 years ago

 Sigh...... Couldn't resist.

"Won't this horrible year ever end?"

"We never lost a year before and I'll be damned if we're gonna lose one on my shift!"

*BANG BANG BANG*

*Glass breaks*

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 ,3, 2, 1"

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"

Everybody sings Auld Lang Syne

Except for those who work their asses off to file their taxes early to appease the Martinsburg Monster...

Which really is an IBM 360.... or what remains of the system before decades of hardware replacement.

By the way, these Simpsons screenshots are not from Disney+ but rather from my 2006 Season 9 DVD because I need my screenshots and Streaming always blocks captures.

As for taxes, I do file them early but not in the way Ned Flanders does. I have a guy I know from my Baptist Church who helps with my Tax Returns and sends them towards the Canadian Equivalent to Martinsburg's system.

Man, filing taxes sure have come a long way since 1998 according to the episode above. I just hope we don't have a firmware snafu like what happened in 2018.... otherwise I wouldn't want to hear the end of it.
