Title: Getting set for the 01 Apr tomfoolery....
Post by: 230RN on March 31, 2015, 02:46:05 AM
<drums fingers on desk>

What this year....?

Is the page loading delay tonite 'cause they're diddling with the site?

<scratches chin>

Hope they're not going to pull the pink stuff again this year....

Or mess with the avatars again...

Well, they're a creative bunch, they'll come up with something.

<waiting>

Maybe they won't do anything, and that'll be the joke...

I hate April Fools' Day with a blinding, purple passion.

I vote for "Nothing."

If nothing, how long would people spend trying to figure out what has changed?

Something will happen, it always does.  It is usually amusing so I actually look forward to it to a small degree.
Plus the fact that they never mess with my avatar or profile allows me to fully enjoy the pain and suffering of those they do jack with.   >:D

You *do* realize just how big a target you just painted on yourself, right?

Not too worried about it.  I'm a low key plain vanilla kind of poster.  I don't believe the mods enjoy messing with that type all that much.  No fun in it, perhaps.

Might as well change your avatar to this:

Make sure you save your signature files off site, we can't recover them and you aren't a special cupcake.

I'm looking forward to how the mods fool with fistful this year.  It's always amusing.  And it gives him some style he otherwise wouldn't have.

Soooo, what happens if all the moderators get demoted?  Divide-by-0bama (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ), the world ends?  We continue on as an  anarcho-syndicalist commune (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).  Ginnungagap (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)?

You look to be in reasonably good shape, Terry.  No worse for wear.
I lost the keys in my pocket, though.

I always find mine in the refrigerator for some reason.

Sure beats the time I sent out press releases to the effect that pi had finally been discovered to be a rational number in the 10 trillionth (or whatever) decimal place.  Actually got published in an Australian newspaper.  (I had sent it out to 50 newspapers across the world.)

Funny thing is a rival newspaper down there in Oz called me on the phone to verify the story and I couldn't keep a "straight face" while they interviewed me and I broke up and 'fessed up.  They later printed a story as to how their competitors (the paper which had printed the story) were lax in fact-checking.

That's my greatest downfall as a prankster.  I cannot keep a straight face when challenged.

 ........^ That's a rational number.  I just round it to 230 for convenience.
