    Batboy is elated! Today, Batboy returned to Batboy's Lair after a long day eluding Evil Scientists, to find that Batboy has been entrusted with the task of helping to ensure that Batboy's neighborhood receives Batboy's neighborhood's fair share of government money! Batboy is honored.

    Unfortunately, when Batboy opened Batboy's envelope, Batboy's elation turned to trepidation. Batboy understands that Batboy is required by "law" to truthfully answer the questions posed to Batboy, and Batboy would hate to impeded Batboy's neighborhood's ability to receive Batboy's neighborhood's "fair share" of government money. Unfortunately, Batboy is not sure Batboy can appropriately answer the questions posed to Batboy.

    The first question posed asks Batboy "How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010." Batboy has a number of problems with this question.

    First, Batboy does not live in a house, apartment or mobile home. Batboy lives in Batboy's Secret Lair. Batboy cannot in good conscious answer this question, as Batboy's acceptance of the question's premise would prove misleading.

    Second, Batboy is not technically a person. Batboy is a batboy. Again, Batboy cannot in good conscious answer this question, as Batboy's answer could prove misleading.

    Third, even if Batboy could overcome the first two issues, Batboy's time machine is unfortunately in the shop for recall work. Batboy's time machine has been experiencing sudden and unexplained acceleration problems, and Batboy's manufacturer cannot determine the precise cause. Batboy was a bit peeved when Batboy tried to hop forward to 12/21/2012 to see what the big deal was, and Batboy ended up in the midst of the Zampalian Invasion of 2347. Batboy gave Batboy's manufacturer an earful over that one. Batboy is still trying to get the symbiotic shrimp out of Batboy's armpits. In any event, without Batboy's time machine, how could Batboy truthfully and appropriately answer this question? Batboy's letter instructs Batboy to fill out and mail back Batboy's form TODAY.

    Batboy has numerous issues with the other nine questions as well. Batboy will leave those questions for later, however. Batboy appreciates any advice Wordforge can provide. After all, Batboy really would like to ensure that Batboy's neighborhood receives lots of government money!

    Has Batboy time-travelled? In my timeline 1 April 2010 AD has not yet occurred, and therefore one would not know for certain how many occupants occupy a lair on that date. Maybe I am not going fast enough.

    Batboy is right. I got the same form today, and my DeLorean is COMPLETELY out of plutonium. I'll have to wait until April 1, 2010.

    I think we should fuck with 'em a little. Everybody who gets a census form should indicate that they are homosexual living with a domestic partner.

    Can't you picture it? The GOP will be lobbying Europeans to come over here and breed like rabbits offering $5K a kid, while the DNC and John McCain looks to Mexico, going "see, we told you so, now ask little Pedro to go wash our cars and shine our shoes, Maria."

    Yep, Big Brother has arranged for us all to give up our info for the database. I suppose I should be glad they didn't ask for a blood sample for DNA ID but I figure it's just a matter of time.

    The race card is old, we're Americans. Start treating us like it.

    For any questions you cannot answer truthfully, simply line out the inappropriate verbiage and write in the proper phrasing with a Crayola crayon in either atomic tangerine or burnt sienna. Be sure to initial each change.

    Fortunately, I do not need a device for time travel, living in all times simultaneously.

    Therefore I have already completed the form for the present year through 2040. By then, the government's mind control implants will make the census obsolete.

    You're retarded. The entire purpose of the census is to provide a vehicle for secretly implanting the mind control devices. The census can never be made obsolete by mind control.

    Sadly, not everything burns quite as well as one would want it to burn. And Sherman lacked modern incendiary devices. :(
