In happier news, Stone Zoo welcomes a new porcupette. Seemingly, they're calling the group a "prickle"
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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!

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

information libertarian
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.

Our wings are not tired.
I haven't even looked at my taxes. Don't wanna.
