this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

There was an article on The Toast about changing Hamilton lyrics to add in "dog/puppy" or your dog's name. So for a while I would sing "Oh Kato, you outshine the morning sun" to him, but he wasn't very appreciative.

Any songs for Oz will be begging him to stop peeing on/in things which he's done three times this week. Or it will be a song about me murdering a cat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, look, you've caught up. Happy April 1, everyone. [link]

I do always get a kick out of Google's April Fools Day jokes, or when webcomics I read do something weird. And NPR usually brings their A game to April Fools Day. Beyond that...meh.

Two years ago, friends of ours really did elope on April 1, and when they posted on FB, no one believed them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm pretty sure LMM has said he wrote that song with his dog in mind (as he did not yet have a child).

NPR Classical Music's entry into the April Fools:

"We've always known Rachmaninoff's music was a force of nature," says Harbeson University professor of musicology Lilly Swift. "It appears now that in his circus work he also understood the nature of force."

Edit: And it ends with a corker of a classical music pun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do randomly sing "piso mojado...what a wonderful phrase"

That's terrific. May take as my own.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Health~ma for your father, Consuela.

esurance has an excellent April Fool's ad.

Darn, I don't get it. Someone educate me?
