So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Rantlet: why, why, why do companies/stores pull all the cold weather wear in, like, January? It's 43 degrees out, I cut off all my hair last week, and my head is freezing, but I can't find a nice, warm, non-fugly hat.

As a result, I've got a headache from the cold.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Hi Kat! Good to see you around again.

Plei, I've sometimes had good luck with department store clearance racks this time of year for winter stuff.

Hee. One can knit a fedora? That baffles me!

I need to find where my hats are all hiding. I know I own some.

Well, I figure you'd need to felt it. But as they say, "If you can knit some ovaries, you can knit a fedora!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes

I like this one:

#5: San Serriffe
In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands. A series of articles affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation. Its two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was named after printer's terminology. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that then gripped the British tabloids in the following decades.

#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest

One of my all-time favorite BBC clips. It's so fantastically well done.

[eta: It's a pity the version they have online is so tiny. Makes it harder to see the spaghetti trees.]

#27: Michigan Shark Experiment

"Michigan Shark Experiment" would be a good band name....
