Am I The Only Hater of April Fools Day?

[Cartimandua]

I'm okay with April Fools as long as the jokes aren't mean.

My younger sister lives in our basement and this morning when I went down to do the laundry I told her that it had snowed so much her university had canceled all classes. Since she had been in the basement all morning she hadn't looked outside to see that it hadn't snowed at all. Just when she looked like she might believe me, I told her it was April Fools. She thought it was pretty funny and I thought it was a pretty harmless, but amusing joke.

I read that as "April Fools Gay Sucks."




Mean-spirited pranks are... mean , but I love like Googles and Blizzard's. Especially since Blizzard's are usually a sneak-peek of new content masquerading as a joke .

You would read it that way...

So many people seem to thrive with it.
With every single day filled with liars and fools, where is the need for a special day?

Good one, Sloww! You really had me going there...

Think about it. New Year's Eve, and rookie drunks everywhere.
Church? Seen attendance at Easter and Christmas?
Ditto, April Fool's Day. All the rank amateurs, getting in the way.

And another thing, am I the only one concerned that Cartimandua keeps her sister chained in a basement?

I'm sure she did it, months in advance, just to make the school-cancellation joke more believable.

[Cartimandua]

Yes....she has been there in the basement for months

If it helped her to come home before 3 in the morning I might actually consider it. As it is she wakes me up every night! These darned college kids...I just don't know what to do with them.

Wow, that makes me sound so old!

If there are that many liars and fools in your life, appreciate that you're the centre of it. You attracted them to you. And why have so much hate? I see it in your posts everytime on OT but for what purpose? Why not try to be a nice person and offer the world something positive for a change?
