Batcave Home Theater
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
Valerie D'Orazio points us to this Gizmodo story about a home theater system company that built their very own Bat-theater.
While it's pretty dang cool, it's not quite as impressive as the comic book professional who converted his basement into his own Batcave, complete with:
- giant screen TV
- desk carved in the shape of a bat symbol
- hidden door to the stairway
- atomic turbine, and
- working batpole hidden behind the bookcase that leads from the first floor to the basement office-- for when inspiration struck and the stairs were too slow, I guess.
But that's not the impressive part. It's that, since he was doing it for his home office, and that he was a comic book professional and it helped him get in the right mindset to create, it was all tax deductible. The only person who could write this off would be Michael Uslan.

Regarding the comics professional ...
He may well have deducted that stuff, but the only way he would have survived getting audited is if he was lucky and didn't get audited (and the home office deduction is definitely a possible trigger)--and that only would have squeaked by if he did it all on the SOOPA-CHEEP.
... as in, a Bat-Pole made out of discarded wrapping-paper tubes, and rather than buying a Batman mannequin, simply paying Adam West the going rate to stand there ...

His accountant said he could do it, before he put in a single stalactite.

Uh-huh.
Remember where I work?
(But they won't hear a damned thing from me--'cos *I* think it's cool.)

It looks like my chiropractor's media room. Except, substitute Star Trek for Batman.

Add this to list of things to buy when I win the lottery. Wow.
