At least we can all agree that the Easter Bunny is real. ---

My parents will be in town, so let’s behave ourselves at least until they are gone. Don’t embarass me! ---

You’re smart. Just not smart enough to know how April Fools Day works. Actually, around here, we sometimes have a “Festival of Fooles” atmosphere, with everyone aware of what’s going on, and some lighthearted, well, foolery from anyone who feels moved by the Spirit to contribute some. To be candid, I can’t recall TPTB ever setting us up with a prank. ---

If the board honchos declare that ignorance has been successfully fought and that they are therefore shutting the board down at midnight Chicago time, then I think that might possibly be an April Fool’s joke. ---

Run every post through Google Translate so everything is in Esperanto. For, as the Esperantinos would say, “Bonvolu alsendi la pordiston, laushajne estas rano en mia bideo.” ---

I’d like April Fools to be observed on the weekend, so I can enjoy it without having to goof off at work. Of course, those of you who celebrate a holiday tomorrow may have other conflicts. ---
