rolanni...it's not that I don't have a sense of humor (which I've been told); I have a lively, if occasionally inappropriate, sense of humor. It's because April Fool's Day has, IMNSHO, become a forum for abusive behavior couched as "jokes," which allows the perpetrator to take and hold the dubious moral high ground of "You can't take a joke!"
And besides, today is the Anniversary of an Event far closer to my heart than the tedious demonstration that the People Are An Idiot.
Today marks the Thirtieth Anniversary of the merging of the Lee and Miller households into the Lee-Miller Household, aka The Cat Farm and Confusion Factory.
Let there be music, wine, ice cream, and dancing!

Date: 2008-04-01 04:48 pm (UTC)And I'm going to have to be the dissenting voice here. I love April Fools, but that's because my geeky friends tend to intellectual and amusing April Fools jokes rather than abusive behavior. I also love all the websites that do different things, like Nestle changing their Butterfinger bar to The Finger (http://www.thefingerbar.com/), Google allowing you to send email back in time (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html) or World of Warcraft releasing a new Bard class using a Guitar Hero interface.
