Anniversary “quit smoking 1996 3packs/day” 1:47:50 AM 4/01/08 “Good for you.” 4:51:24 AM 4/01/08 “Any moment we should have a pregnancy announcement from Spirit Coyote. I tried to explain the concept of April Fools day to our seven year old today. Must not have done too good of a job as she used it as an excuse to spray me with a squirt bottle repeatedly (of course while yelling "APRIL FOOLS!"). 6:54:34 AM 4/01/08 “I woke my kids up telling them it was snowing and that school was canceled. They were not amused” 6:57:23 AM 4/01/08 “I tried to explain the concept of April Fools day to our seven year old today. - Sassafrass Most kindergartners have a working knowledge of April Fools day. Let me guess - homeschooling?” 6:57:35 AM 4/01/08 “nope.” 7:00:25 AM 4/01/08 “Oh, okay, sorry for your child's disability. I can't imagine what that must be like for a parent.” 7:02:55 AM 4/01/08 “dang Abby is 7 now - I feel old - I remember her birth announcement on TT” 7:04:08 AM 4/01/08 “Thanks for your sympathy Mutt. It's true, she is joke impaired. The knock knock jokes I have to listen to are horrendous. Time flies doesn't it HOI?” 7:20:18 AM 4/01/08 “Mutt, why would you want to do that on a simple no issues thread?” 7:20:49 AM 4/01/08 “LOL Sass...I get a kick out of Ariana's quizical look and "what do you mean?" during the simplest of conversations, never mind jokes. and she ain't even blond... we wanted to hear the radio station's April Fool, but didn't have time to listen...” 7:29:45 AM 4/01/08 ““Any moment we should have a pregnancy announcement from Spirit Coyote. BBBRRRR! even as a joke that is scary” 7:35:16 AM 4/01/08 “I thought Maple was pregnant...” 7:36:28 AM 4/01/08 hyway “woke my kids up telling them it was snowing and that school was canceled. They were not amused” hyway Me too. I was amused.” 8:33:45 AM 4/01/08 “I guess I'll find out how much of a sense of humor our Koi club has. I just posted a news article on the club site that announces a major shake up in how show fish are classified. Ah yes, fish nerd humor.” 8:49:40 AM 4/01/08 “ When I was a wee lad in 1968 I stepped out to get the newspapers and noticed the local paper, the Boston Globe, ran a headline that Lyndon Johnson announced the night before that he was withdrawing from the race for re-election. The other paper my dad got, the New York Times, had no coverage of it since it had to be printed early and shipped from New York. So, I hid the Boston Globe and put the Times out on the breakfast table. Then when my father was having breakfast, I announced with a big grin, that Johnson wasn't running. My Dad wasn't buying it, he anounced "April Fools!" he said with at "you can't fool me" manner. I said, "No really, he did. He said he wouldn't seek or accept the nomination and would not run if nominated." So until he saw the proof, he went through the day announcing "April Fools" every time someone brought up the news about Johnson. I guess he thought I had a lot of people in on it. I wasn't even a teenager then, but to my shame I don't think I've pulled a better sophisticated April Fools trick since. last edited: 4/01/08 9:03:01 AM” 8:53:51 AM 4/01/08 “ wonder if that helped? whoohoo, I stopped the italics curse before it could spread..... last edited: 4/01/08 9:02:57 AM” 9:02:22 AM 4/01/08 “I went back and fixed it for my post.” 9:03:45 AM 4/01/08 “Didn't mean to post as Naugahyde.

My posting ADD is why I would never make a good troll.” 9:13:46 AM 4/01/08 “dang, you mean I am not a hero? bummer” 9:27:01 AM 4/01/08 “Hey, of course you are a hero.” 1:09:32 PM 4/01/08 “the most amazing thing is, i really am having a baby. damn!” 3:39:33 PM 4/01/08 “How's this for an April Fool's prank? My in-laws called HPM when he was on his way home from work: Hey, we're up here, want to meet us at a certain local restaurant for dinner? Alas, it was no joke.... :P” 6:20:38 PM 4/01/08 “To file away for next year.....

That was great.” 9:48:13 AM 4/02/08 “My best prank was a couple years ago when I wrote a letter supposedly from the local school board to all parents in the school district. The letter said that due to studies proving the benefits, the school year would now be extended to 12 months rather than nine. Therefore there would be no summer vacation henceforth. My oldest son was so pissed off all day. It was great! My best "fun" prank was making ostrich eggs for breakfast out of Cool Whip and canned peach halves.  ”5:43:51 PM 4/02/08 “yeah, it's all funny to you guys, but i'm the one dealing with morning sickness.” 2:05:28 AM 4/03/08 “ahhh, the age old "I promise I'll pull out early" april fools gag” 4:24:56 AM 4/03/08 “anyone hear the prank on NPR this year?...it was great...they reviewed a new album called B Flat were the composer played the same note (B Flat) over and over with different instruments...the reviewer gave a very in-depth review and used big wordy words...it was hilarious” 4:52:52 AM 4/03/08 ““ahhh, the age old "I promise I'll pull out early" april fools gag” hyway 7:24:56 AM 4/03/08 Even better when it's followed up by the, "I'll call you in the morning" gag.” 4:54:49 AM 4/03/08 “I actually went to an art opening like that, TH. This guy had painted nearly 200 pictures of the same fig tree. Same angle, same POV. Dull beyond words.” 7:03:40 AM 4/03/08 “LMAO Tilt...there's this decrepit old poot HPM and I had for an art professor, named Charles Charles. Of course after he "discovered" he was minutely part American Indian he changed his name to Charles Blackfeather Charles. His big thing was folded canvas, or tying it in a series of knots and doing these big installations with lots of folded panels and pieces of raw canvas. He also used "found" materials, including garbage lying around. Another professor of ours referred to his work as "diaper art."” 7:07:15 AM 4/03/08
