I don't mind the ones that are, say filling up someone's desk area with rubber chickens or something, as long as you do it on a day when the rubber chicken guy doesn't have a big meeting or a lot to do. A lot of practical jokes seem to be center on convincing someone something really bad is happening, and I really hate that!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Has anybody heard from CV? Little worried.
And rightly so as it turned out!
Welcome baby, Luna! May this be all the trouble you ever cause your dear, achey Mom.

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

Yeah, I don't think it's funny to cause people great anxiety for no reason.

My thoughts on April Fools may be colored by the fact that by two best friends in High School played a month long practical joke on me-- One of them was a boy I liked and the joke they played was that the two of them were secretly sleeping together, and I needed to keep their secret, and the boy told me all about it in great detail on the phone every night, because he just needed someone to talk to. And then he called me on April Fools Day, said "April Fools" and hung up. I actually think now, knowing what I do, that it actually wasn't a joke, and he used April Fools to get out of it, but at the time, I was absolutely devasted, because I felt like our whole friendship was a lie.

This is funny (I'm assuming it's an April Fools Day joke) Tell Me Your Secrets Bear
It would be highly disturbing if real....

But does it roll down stairs, alone or in pairs? No!

I saw this at Daily Kos:
Karl Rove has ... and believe me, these are words I never thought I'd type ... a well thought out column acknowledging the many strategic errors made by the Republican party during the health care reform debate.
But the link reveals it's an April Fools joke. Fuckers!

ION, I am listening to Ethiopian Reggae piano music that my cat downloaded for me. It's OK.
