That search spoof is clever. I like that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What is even happening?
Damn. Had I known about that sooner, I could have done a new front page for TMnetI've been waiting all day to not buy into whatever you post, Kristen.
That search spoof is clever. I like that.I just sent it to my husband and mother via email.

My only other April Fools joke was telling the kids the cable got shut off, because we couldn't pay the bill. They bought it for a few minutes.

I did briefly consider doing a "Minear Returns to his Buffy Roots" with a thing about him doing a BtVS movie. But it wasn't thrilling me.
I would have much rathered move him a little closer to the earth for the day.

I'm in the call center for Nintendo of America. Strangely, I haven't gotten a single spoof phone call. (That's not an invitation, BTW :)
But stupid Electronic Gaming Magazine published an April Fool's joke ad "from Nintendo" about a game that doesn't exist, and we've been fielding calls about that for over a month. Yay EGM, stabbity stab stab.
Anyway: Gameboy tech support while buzzed on Dayquil is amusing. I have to concentrate really really hard and not doze off drooling on my keyboard.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am typing this post on my very own laptop (my first that really-o truly-o belonged to me). It is Teh Awesome.
Thank you, NoiseDesign, for enabling my electronic equipment acquisition!

"Dude! Level 6 is kicking my ass!"
Has to be better than "My children's Christmas is ruined because of you! My mother sent those packages ground shipping on December 20th from Hawaii, they should have gotten to Maine by Christmas Eve!"

Thank every god ever worshipped I'm not a game play counsellor. :)
But I did get my fair share of "You ruined Christmas!" on Dec 26 (we're closed on the 25th itself). Morning-after the gift is given, didn't work/can't be hooked up...yeah.
That was a 4am start, split-shift 10 hours, worked until 11pm.
Fortunately, only happens 3 times a year (Dec 26 and 27, Jan 2).
And now - NO MORE PHONES. Just little me and a computer, answering about 100 emails/day with my music blaring. Yummy.
