Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I read a letter to an advice columnist in today's paper - her birthday is April 1 and she's constantly subjected to "pranks". Like a "birthday present" that's an empty box. Or her husband telling her he wants a divorce. Or going to a meeting on April 1 and people yelling "surprise" but it's not a party.
Columnist said this wasn't nice and wasn't funny. Also suggested she take her husband at his word.
In happier news, Stone Zoo welcomes a new porcupette. Seemingly, they're calling the group a "prickle"
Or going to a meeting on April 1 and people yelling "surprise" but it's not a party.
She should take in her own birthday cake to share with the office but make it without sugar.
Or her husband telling her he wants a divorce.
Never an acceptable prank.
It's not that difficult to do a low-stakes prank (if you really really have to): stick googly eyes on all the fruit. Do something weird like my office used to do -- we had an inflatable alien that would randomly end up in someone's desk chair for no real reason. Hang all the pictures upside down. Those are funny (I mean, they're on the continuum of funny for some people; I recognize that not everyone thinks googly-eyed bananas are a hoot) and they're easy to undo. Most importantly, they aren't meant to scare, shock, or harm someone in the service of getting laughs.
(If we had googly eyes, I would go stick them on the fruit that Tim eats. Or the coffeemaker. Sadly, my planning is poor; while you'd think that we would have googly eyes, we do not.)
Yeah, if I was that woman, my circle of friends and loved ones would consist only of people who had never pulled that shit on me.
Just realized we’ve got no holidays and I’ve got no days off planned in April.
Off to do some quick PTO figuring.
I enjoy a good-natured April Fool’s joke. This was my fave today:
That's awesome!
That's a good one
In Kpop for April fools day the fan sites (who smuggle enormous cameras into concerts and events and take pictures of their faves) release great photos of people who are NOT their faves (but were at the same event). So today the a fan site for ATEEZ Wooyoung released several photos of EXO Kai.
…this probably makes so sense to anyone not into kpop but it’s pretty wholesome and charming as pranks go.
LOL, that makes zero sense but I'm glad it's happy pranks, flea!
I just did my taxes and I owed $1700. BOOOOOO. I mean, it's for decently good reason (I got a lot of interest income because interest rates went up so much) but still. BOO.
