Replacing Paint, Snape FAQ, Disinterested Husbands and Cataloguing (remember cataloguing?)

[elfundeb]

Responding to Cindy's new team instructions:

Here's what 
I'd like to see:

[snip]
Debbie -- fill each deleted row with a cite from the U.S. Tax Code 
[snip]

Thoughts?  Comments?  Suggestions?

Me:

I'll get started on that right away!  But, you know, it would be more useful if I could associate each section reference with a canon character.  For example:

Post       29878
Topic1    Harry
Topic2    Section 4271
Topic3    Air Cargo Excise Tax
Expl       Carried wand during Quidditch match in PoA 

Too dull?  How about:

Post        29900
Topic1     Bagman
Topic2     Section 165(d)
Topic3     Gambling Losses
Expl        No deduction, but you still pay tax on your net winnings!

Post        29911
Topic1     [Lucius] Malfoy
Topic2     Section 6111(c) and (d)
Topic3     Abusive Tax Shelters
Expl        The Riddle House

Post        29975
Topic1     Mrs. Longbottom
Topic2     Section 6013
Topic3     Innocent Spouse Relief
Expl        You don't think *she* knew anything, did you? 

Well, tax humor is pretty pathetic. But at least I have *lots* of material to work from!

Eloise on disinterested hubbies:

BTW, if as Elkins explained, we're blacklining so that in the event of being 
hit by a truck, you can find out from our nearest and dearest how far we're 
up to, I think I should warn you that you haven't  hope at this end! My best 
beloved never even reads his own e-mail and would never think of 
investigating what some strange person called Eloise Herisson had been up to!

You know, in light of all these sniper attacks [pause to gratefully acknowledge everyone's kind concern for Cindy's and my safety], I finally confessed to hubby that I'd taken on this task on top of everything else so he'd include the catalogue in my personal effects, and he wasn't the slightest bit interested.  But I already knew what to expect.  Once, I redirected my HPfGU e-mails to his account for several days and he didn't read a single one!  Though he did keep asking me why Ron the seer needed glasses. <g>  

Perhaps I'll make him read the Snape FAQ (he *is* interested in Snape) and that will motivate him.  Because the FAQ is truly excellent, right down to the ever so appropriate grey coloring.

Dare I ask another cataloguing question?  In my catalogue, I've been forced to change DEs to DE because my programs insist on overriding DEs to Des, which reminds me of an old harmful drug they used to give to pregnant women.  I've been working on the assumption that this can be cleaned up later by whatever poor soul actually looks at everyone's catalogues.  Or, is there a Very Easy Solution that I've missed (says she who hand-deleted about 300 blacked out spaces)?

Debbie
who will spare everyone discussion of her schools' colors and offensive Native American mascot, since she's 100 posts behind on the main list and had no idea Richard was slandering TBAY
