Totally.
I have seen one 4/1 post that made me laugh out loud. It's a post from OnMilwaukee.com saying that the Rolling Stones show at Summerfest is cancelled and Elton John will be subbing in.
Which is only funny if you've been in Milwaukee for long enough to remember the Harley Davidson 100th anniversary about 10 years ago. They kept the headliner top secret until an hour before the show, and speculation was rampant that it was either the Stones or Bruce Springsteen. When it turned out to be Elton John there were near riots. Not actual, but plenty of outraged swouncing. On Harleys.
The comments are about evenly split between "ha ha, and he's playing at the Harley stage, right?" and "WTF! That's BS, boycott the Stones!". Nicely trolled, OnMilwaukee.

Hee!
Our local weekly paper had an April Fools article about the Republican state legislature planning to split one of the Democrat counties in half so that they'd lose more of their political power. A bit too on the nose, there. For NC localistas (and others interested): [link]

See, I like stuff like that -- things that are goofy, but not mean. (I love NPR's fake stories with a fierce and pure love.)

That is THE BEST.

Me too. I'm staying away from social media today and carefully curating my online experience to avoid the jackasses. I guess I'll be more productive at work, catch up on my online class, and see if Bed Bath & Beyond has a Sodastream carbonator so I can exchange my empty one.

ION, my coffee was unusually delicious this morning. Or maybe I haven't had "my" coffee (half decaf Christmas blend, half blond, beans ground by hand, french press with water from the hot spigot of the water cooler) in a while. Anyway, considering a second cup just because it's tasty, not because I really need more caffeine, for once.

You know what's AWESOME when you have a weather-change-and-lack-of-sleep migraine starting? Workmen next door using a sledgehammer to tear out the concrete front steps.
Ha ha, universe.
