Late April Fools Journal
14 years ago
General
Everyone, I have some bad news.
I am dead.
April Fool's.
It's kinda interesting how everyone all seemed to just get completely sick of it this year. Even I am for the most part. Is there some kind of anti-tomfoolery gas going around?
However, what is NOT FAKE is that sigmaweapon wrote some really smart, well-done Bartleby stories he wants me to plug. These ones take some interesting liberties with how Hell works, but I like that. What good is fanfiction if it doesn't add new ideas? :)
Elysia And Sipha, Part 1
Elysia And Sipha, Part 2
Also, if you liked my journal about nuclear energy, here's another good one at Inkbunny by SpearWolf
Aaaaaand JOSHI_the_Drako is interested in having an open discussion about zoophilia and the furry fandom. If you're interested too, then here you go.
Just to hammer it home, these are real links and there's no shenanigans going on. However, if you really want one... {CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE YOUR PENIS}

Q: Where did the Lone Ranger fuck Tonto?
A: In the butt, in the butt, in the butt butt butt
(Seriously; I once won a game by putting down eight Wild Draw Fours at once. We were playing with seven decks and about fourteen people.)
How about an anti-aprils fools day, a day dedicated to telling the truth without any bullshit, debunking myths and common misconceptions and in general steamroll over every bullshit-faory in the world?
That is an excellent point. I think a lot of people are feeling the same way.

I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH I WANT TO BLOW YOU.
MY PENIS HAS WILTED
... Anyway. I think the reason nobody likes April Fool's Day here is because their in-boxes get filled with what is essentially spam. If they open any of the submissions or journals, they can expect that it'll be an April Fool's Day gag, thereby killing it in its cradle (mmmm, baby-killing...). If they're not expecting an April Fool's Day gag, they just get pissed when what they thought was new porn turns out to be a "HAHAHA FUCK YOU" or a black screen or some other dreck.
Creating a day that is a designated "prank" day kills the unpredictability and spontaneity of pranking. "Huh... April Fool's Day. I just know somebody's gonna fuck with me..." When you expect it, it's not nearly as fun for anyone involved.
Sure, you can still derive amusement from it, but by that point, it's devolved to mere trolling
Really? My penis enlarges when I look at Rick Astley.

I think the sollution is *better* pranks instead of the ones we've come to loathe so much. A good prank should make both the pranster and the prankee laugh at the reveal.
>When you expect it, it's not nearly as fun for anyone involved.
On the other hand, if you can manage to pull one off on April Fools Day when people's guards are up, it feels fantastic.
Case in point: My friend and I went out to a movie yesterday (Limitless. It was better than expected!) and afterwards went to a little coney island for dinner. After we get the check, I reach for my wallet, then think, 'I wonder if I can possibly get away with this?'. I patted the other pocket, then got this horrified look on my face. Without even saying anything, he started to react. "Um... My wallet's gone." The instant he started getting up to help me look for it, I grinned like a bastard and he realized it. We LOLed. :)
Part of pulling a good prank is knowing when to let them in on it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAXDDDDDDDDD. [that was a Your Face Is A Saxaphone reference, by the way] [http://yfias.com./]
However, once I got suspicious, I clicked ahead to see if it would notice I hadn't clicked any answers. It didn't. After clicking a while and realizing there were upwards of one thousand questions, I deduced it might be a fake.
The internet tends to ruin April Fools because the best jokes are repeated ad nauseum and people from other countries don't know it's April Fools so they take it completely seriously, and then you don't know if they're only pretending to take it seriously as a counter april fool's prank or if they're actually upset, and it's frustrating.
I've gotta admit though I liked the voice activated copying machine gag that was going around on Reddit.
One last thing, I really don't think that Rick Astley song is that bad, never have. If you want to link people to a terrible video, try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCPSh47gHz8
Just be sure to crank it first.
Also: I like it how it looks like the middle chick is peeing at 2:10. I mean, sure, it's her skirt-ties, but... STILL.

That they do.
>I've gotta admit though I liked the voice activated copying machine gag that was going around on Reddit.
Sounds interesting. Imma look for it.
>One last thing, I really don't think that Rick Astley song is that bad, never have.
Hey, I like the song myself. But it's tradition. Also, I figured the only way to get people to take the other links seriously was to put in a real fake one.
...What?
>Just be sure to crank it first.
ACK. That's a terrifyingly shitty remix. The original song is far less obnoxious and even kinda fun.
Try this YAHHURRR on for size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5SNOAcD3ak
God, I'm a musician and I wanted to commit seppuku after that brain-bleaching awfulness. My question is who signed off on that mess? Someone had to.
And it just had to be about something I like
This gets all of my hate: FOOORRRREEEEVVVVVEEEEERRRRR

Because last year, everyone did one. And the year before that. Because (and this will likely piss some people off, but what do I care) everyone thinks that they're a comedian and, more to the point, *funnier than everyone else*. So everyone tried to come up with something unique, hip, and edgy. And sure, some good stuff happened, but in all reality, comedic talent is like musical talent: unless you're born with it naturally, you have to work to be good at it. Sadly, not everyone is a good comedian.
So, naturally, this year we're all sick of the "I'm dying/my life is bad/say byebye to my archive" malarkey. Sad news is that there may have well been good jokes somewhere in there, but they got lost amidst everyone just not giving a fuck because this was the year that most viewed it as cool to not give a fuck.
Oooooorrr I could just be sleep-deprived and chewing on my own bottom lip now because I have nothing better to do. Either or, really. My view of humanity and it's intrinsic bullshittyness is kind of messed lately. </shrug>
