April 1st...

First it's da Kidling's birthday. Happy Birthday, Amber!

Second, I really don't care for April 1st as in April Foole's Day. No, I don't. This doesn't mean that I don't have a good sense of humor. It simply means that this is a form of puerile humor that leaves me cold.

I used to be married to a clown. You have NO IDEA how many stupid, moronic, sophomoric jokes I was the butt of during the 14 years of the relationship. Salt in the sugar, vaseline on the toilet seat, rubber band over the handle of the kitchen sink sprayer so when I turned on the faucet I got sprayed, egg in the bottom of a shoe (oh YES, that one went over really well...he had it dumped onto his desk!) and many, many others.

He never, even at the age of 40, stopped doing the 'opening the door against his foot but acting like it hit him in the nose' trick. ha. ha. ha. /sarcasm. So that once when he really did hit himself in the face with the door, I burst out laughing so hard I damnear peed my pants. Really.

We are NOT amused. Don't....just, please don't. This is simply fair warning.

*chuckles* Some of the gamer humor last night and today has been entertaining. Inevitably, there are some folks who walk right into it as well. ^_^

Well sure...but being one of the ones who inevitably walks right into it, it ceases to be funny.

One doesn't like to continuously be the butt of the joke.

The rubberband around the faucet ended up being funny though 'cause I left it on there and he got himself later in the day. He was SO pissed. THEN I laughed....

Oh.. this isn't anything particularly malicious. For example. Last year, the company I work for and another one who writes support product for us got together with a bit about

"We would like to announce the merger of our two companies. No longer will we be known as Troll Lord Games or Goodman Games, respectively. Our new company will be known as Good Lord Games."

More than a few people bought right into it.

A few game companies are indulging in similar sort of punnery even now.

*hehehe* Ok, that's funny....

Yes, it's different when it isn't malicious or damaging.

A few webcomics are having a little misdirection fun today.

our admin office put our front desk receptionists desk, computer, phone, files and everything in the elevator. she came in saw it, sat down and every time the elevator doors would open she'd answer her phone and pretend to be doing work.

she rolled w/ it really well and they managed to totally freak out the rest of the mundanes coming and going in the building for about an hour that day.

Gee.. they're 'elevating' getting 'shafted' to a new art form. ^_~`

Puerile is such a good word...... *LOL* Good on you for leaving that rubber band right there. BAD on him for being pissed off when the SAME JOKE was turned on him!

*hee* Yes indeed....
