Quick! Let me in your pick-up truck! Dadblast! I’m bein’ followed by The Taxman! Don’t look now but can you see him over there on the corner in that black hooded robe?  Talk ‘bout bein’ beat with the ugly stick! And, who in the Sam Hill sold him that tacky outfit! I mean that robe suit is so Middle Ages! Crap! He sees us! Hit the gas before he gets ALL MY MONEY! Hey . . . we’re smack dab on my street so let me out right here! Whoa! Look who’s up on my porch! It’s the Beatles and a bunch of screamin’ teenagers! Those boys are sooo cute! Hey Ringo! Throw me that tambourine! Perf! This scheme is flat with it! The Taxman will think I’m with the Band! Hit it Beatles!  “One, two, three, four. One, two:  Let me tell you how it will be. (Ba Baaa!)  There’s one for you, 19 for me. (Ba Baaa!) ‘Cause I’m The Taxman. Yeaaah. I’m The Taxmaaan.” Yeah! Fooled The Taxman again! Let’s split while he rocks out at www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzLry3ABpV0&feature=related!
    Fantastic! I flat can’t stop laughin’! I mean if that Taxman had bird brains, he’d fly backwards! Hey and there’s nothin’ like a great song to get me in a shoppin’ mood! Now that we’ve lost The Taxman, let’s go spend some money on Spring Fashion!  Stop! Check out that rockin’ outfit in the window at Amelia’s Apparels & Accessories located at 172 South Main St., in downtown Madison! Hey Kim Jensen!  Tell it, girl! Wow! Kim says she has lots and lots of new designers like Kuhl (pronounced cool) that makes the cutest halter tops and dresses and more! Oh and Adventura really rocks! Hey and check out the shoes like Yellow Box, Teva, Keen and J41! They are so perf for spring. But, this John Wind jewelry line is to die for! Hey and Emily Ray jewelry is back! Y’all get over there today and check it out!
    I’m so happy! The sun’s out and The Taxman ain’t found me yet! Let’s pop on over to Barkin Dog Shoe Co., at 125 West Washington Street in Madison and see what’s shakin’! Wow! Silver and bronze are The Colors for Spring Sandals or as Vickie Hunt calls ‘em . . . Scandals! She’s right honey! They are oh so cute and sexy! I flat love these NAOT sandals in bronze and the Mephisto leopard print sandals will have ‘em talkin’ for DAYS! Oh and Vickie wanted me to tell y’all to mark your calendars for April 25 ‘cause between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Chiropractor extraordinaire Dr. Vince Campbell  is gonna be in her shop offerin’ free foot scans! Right so these are Foot Levelers Scans and they are digital scans of your foot that show your postural imbalances and how custom-made inserts will stabilize them! Hey and you’ll get $50 off inserts if you order them and Vickie will give you 10 percent off a pair of shoes if you get a scan! Scan my feet immediately! Can’t wait!
