I for one think all the fun has gone out of April Fools Day.
There is so much raw material in the craziness department it's not really worth the effort anymore making s**t up.
Beck, Rush, Billo, Sarah, Benedict XVI, etc. spinning like crazy 24/7 and their echo chambers passing the latest assault on common sense along don't allow the fun-loving amateur a chance to participate on this once great day.
But seriously(?), I agree with Arthurstone: it seems as if we have been forced to celebrate a fools' day everyday for the past several years. So when it comes to the actual date, it's just no fun anymore. Any pranks and acts of premeditated silliness pale in comparison with our unscripted reality.
(Still, the frog with Kermit's photo is adorable.)

Hmmm. What day is it today? Let me guess:
ReplyDeleteIt's the day people believe that Sarah Palin will be elected president in 2012?

I forgot it was April Fool's Day today...just goes to show that Arthurstone & Elizabeth are right...it's a fools' days everyday anymore.
ReplyDeleteI like the bus cartoon the best because it shows more fools waiting for someone ELSE to do the right thing or take the first step. **sigh**
The picture of Palin is a Photoshop job. I'm surprised we haven't been trolled on that one.
ReplyDeletePhotoShop or not, Its April Fool's Day, and the occasion called for one.

ReplyDeleteIt is?! Damn, it looked so real.
But, Octo, surely the moneyed firefighters are the true thing... right?
And don't tell me the Kermit photo is a fake, or I'll have to suicide by a balloon (being Pisces and enough of a fish-out-of-water already).
P.S. It's Great Friday, guys, the day when (some) recovering Catholics get silly. ;)
Marvelous pictures...
