DA DA DAHHH!!!! It’s Tax Deadline Day! Are you a “wait til the last minute” filer? Usually, if I OWE money, I’ll wait until the last day to mail in my Income Tax, but if I’m getting money BACK, I’ll usually file the first week of February. HowStuffWorks.com has a few creative and LEGAL deductions you can make on your income tax return that MIGHT save you some money. Things like moving expenses, student loan interest, medical expenses, EVEN pet expenses. Check out the link below AND DON’T FORGET TO FILE!

ARE YOU GETTING MONEY BACK?
It seems a little cruel to talk about tax refunds here on tax day, when some people have to write MASSIVE checks to the government . . . but whatever.  They won’t be able to hear us over the sound of their tears anyway. The average tax refund this year is $2,815, and a new survey asked people what they plan on doing with it.  Here are the top six answers:
 
1.  33% will spend it on a vacation.
2.  32% will put it into savings.
3.  31% will pay off debt.
4.  2% will put it towards buying a home.
5.  1% will go on a shopping spree.
6.  And 1% will buy something for their kids. 

TED & AMY ARE GREAT 😉
I don’t quite grasp the whole “winkie-face” thing. When someone puts that after a comment, is it meant to be sarcastic? I got a Facebook message from a listener along the lines of “You guys are funny this morning…;)” Does that mean they DON’T think we’re funny? We took calls from folks with comment that TOTSALLY change with the addition of a winkie-face. Like, “That diet is REALLY working for you ;)” or “I LOVE my job ;)”, or “Let’s meet for lunch today ;)”. See what I mean? I guess I’m just not THAT smart ;)…

WELCOME THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR CUMULUS MEDIA FAMILY
One of co-workers and his girl friend are brand new parents this morning. They welcomed happy, healthy, bouncing baby Norman into the world. Amy and I were talking, a lot of babies are being named with good old fashioned names like Norman. Mark Eischen’s daughters are named Jane and Abigail. I will never understand parents who pick COMICALLY HORRIBLE baby names. They don’t even give the kid a fighting chance to have a normal life. People on Reddit.com have been sharing the worst baby names they’ve ever heard.  Here are our 10 favorites:
 
1.  I’munique.
2.  Obamaniqua.
3.  Vejonica.  Her parents were named Veronica and John, and they combined their names.
4.  Boy Boy.
5.  Orgasm.
6.  Three brothers named Courage, Gallantry . . . and Tom.
7.  Britney Shakira Beyonce.
8.  Like.
9.  Depreshaun.
10. Abstinence. 
 

MALARKEY FOR TODAY:

There is a famous artist living in New Mexico that holds a paint brush in his mouth and is quite an artist.  It is not a human but this kind of animal:

1)      A dog
2)      A horse
3)      ****A goat

****Four year old Brodie’s paintings are so highly prized that he has gotten the nickname Van Goat.
