Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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."

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.

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?

Dad ~ma, Consuela.

My daughter's birthday is in a month and a half (ish) and party bookings at the place of her choice were already very hard to come by, so it will not be in the right colored tent or at the best time. I am so unused to people who plan so far ahead that they are ahead of me!

The name at the end sounds like "dies irae", which is part of the text from the Catholic requiem mass. Though I don't think Rachmaninoff ever wrote a requiem.
