April Fools...hate it? or...

Post Reply New Topic

does it seem like every day is April Fools? sometimes it feels that way...

I like the hoaxes in the newspapers. I can usually suss them out pretty quickly.

No one's ever successfully been able to prank me on April Fool's Day. I used to do a lot of pranking myself, but now I feel too old for it.

April Fools Day was the birthday of my beloved Siamese cat, Samantha, who lived to be 20. That day will always have happy associations for me.

Unless someone can pull a really good joke, I mostly find the day annoying and inconvenient.

Have always loathed pranks, both giving & receiving-no thanks.
Enjoy the satire/parody issues/editions of media, so long as I know that's what it is-attempts to fool me piss me off. Have sense of humor, but there are ways of treating a person that offend me (if other people want to "prank" each other, fine-just let me opt out, please).

In other words, I dislike this psedo/quasi holiday-it goes against my core beliefs about honesty & integrity. On the other hand, am all in favor of making appropriate criticisms & pointing out the flaws and/or inconsistencies of oneself & others, as well as use of some kinds of humor.

Acknowledge the historic function of the "wise fool" archetype.

Also, if someone says he/she just wants to be silly 'cause it's fun, healthy, and free-well, I suppose that makes sense, too.

I pull exactly the same crap on April 1st as I do every other day of the year... only difference is that it's the one day I have an excuse. Not that I ever need one, of course. I don't actually tend to do anything on April Fool's Day - everyone expects it!

I know that I'm going to hate it, this year. One of my Rat Mates will be leaving for Maui, that day. :O(

Some April Fool's pranks are pretty funny, like Google's TISP from last year. All of Google's pranks are funny, I think.

My life has been pretty boring lately and, even though most of the jokes/pranks are lame, I don't mind the change of pace. It's just a happy-go-lucky day.

I luv April Fools Day, the only problem is I think my prey probably knows by now since it's around that time. I usually pick another day. I almost gave my granny a heart attack when my friend and I scared her out of the corner. She scares pretty easily so I guess I have to watch for that next time, nevertheless, it was a little funny. I just luv antics, as long as there not directed at me.

I love April Fools Day, I just sometimes have a problem coming up with good pranks. By the way, my nephew turns 10 on April Fool's Day.

Or is that a joke?

Oh no, I'm totally serious about that, he really was born on April Fools Day.

That would be a good joke though.

Well in that case congrads!!
I guess that would make him an aries. The little head-butting ram who's full of fire.

That reminds me, do you study astrology extensively or do you just read the horoscopes?
