Beer launching mini-fridge

March 18, 2007

OK. There's no direct tax connection here. I just think a beer launching mini-fridge is ingenious and funny. A couch potato's dream.

Such an appliance could, however, come in handy once you collapse upon finishing your 1040, too tired to make it to the icebox for some much-deserved post-filing refreshment.

Interest apparently is growing, but no word yet on just when or where it might be available.

My still unanswered question: How much do the beers spew upon opening after being launched?

And one final filing thought: With or without a beer launching refrigerator, please avoid any alcoholic beverages while doing your taxes. Enough mistakes are made on returns already.

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)

    I only came across the beer-launching fridge today but I think it’s awesome, I wonder if the guy will end up making any money out of it. there must be plenty of men in their 20s – 30s who’d love one of those, me being one of them!
    It could even be used for a commercial (I bet someone’s gonna pick up on that!). Budweiser also have a few ads out at the moment about the complicated relationship between a male 20something and his (beer) fridge.. – here’s what happens when the fridge fights back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLexp994L6w – they’re actually quite good. maybe they can get togehter with the catapult fridge guy!
    A blog about beer vids would be cool. I’d love to see them all in one place. Someone’s got to do it!
