Hey guys!
Anyone set up any good pranks this year? I changed my facebook status to say that my husband and I were sending our (21 month old) son to boarding school in England for two years. A couple of people fell for it. :P
Anyone else up to some mischief?
I usually forget to do anything in particular on April fools, but that sounds hilarious, DJ!! :D
Shoot. I should have said we were sending him to an Atheist boarding school in England. I think that would have been better.
LOL!
Google and YouTube have a couple good ones.
Google 8-bit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rznYifPHxDg)
YouTube collection (http://www.youtube.com/theyoutubecollection)
Good stuff.
Yeah, Google's was pretty funny this year.
Hahaha, I like "the youtube collection" feedback method.
I got a couple of lookers for "Hey what's that turtle doing in our back yard" "I didn't know turtles could climb trees"
I engendered hope and delivered disappointment, mocked anticipation of joy.
What a fine tradition.

I went ahead and got the Betamax versions for only $450,000. I will keep everyone posted with the quality of the Betamax videos as well as their shipping speeds.

A buddy of mine. He broke the height regulator.

Quote3. A 20-year-old "superhero" who calls himself the Knight Warrior, but was born Roger Hayhurst, is hoping to be the first elected mayor of Salford. He promises to tackle crime.

Hahahaha! oh my days that made my eyes water. In Salford of all places.
I felt like I fell victim to an (extremely mean) prank. The airline changed our direct flight out of Atlanta to a later flight with a connection through Charlotte, and then even though the city we were in was actually closer to Charlotte, they wouldn't let us just board in Charlotte. We had to drive 3 hours to Atlanta (would have been an hour and a half to Charlotte) to fly out of Atlanta bank to Charlotte, 3 hours later than we planned. >:( Am sending a strongly worded note.
Yikes, Ali! Why the heck couldn't you board? Grrr...
Aside from my silly 'become a Muslim' trick here on HAF, I seriously freaked out my daughter's dad. I called him at 3 am on April Fool's day to tell him I couldn't sleep, I'd been up reading a lot of the old religious books I have still kicking around, and I'd decided that I'd lived in sin for too long and I was no longer going to date women and was instead going to start going to church at the Baptist church down the road, and that I was going to start taking our daughter with me.
His response was somewhere along the lines of a very sleepy but alarmed "HOLY FUCKING HELL YOU'RE NOT... oh, damnit... what day is it..."
Followed by me laughing hysterically. ;D
Thankfully after his heart stopped racing, he forgave me. He's awesome, LOL.
