April Fool-Free Zone
Thursday, April 1st, 2010 08:16 amAs in past years, this is an April Fool's Free Zone*. Please respect this.
Today marks the Thirty-Second Anniversary of the merging of the Miller and Lee households, much to the consternation of the then-resident cats.

*...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!"

Happy anniversary!

The only April Fool's Day jokes I appreciate are the clever fake news stories, and not the ones where idiot radio personalities say that various people have died and later rightly get fired for it. I like the sort like today's NPR spot talking about how Congress was taking a page from impoverished school districts that have been forced to shorten school calendars. Yes, going forward, all months, with the exception of February, will have no more than 29 days. This will save us millions. MILLIONS, I tell you.
I thought it was cute.
