The Mic Is On: We're Talking About April Fools

March 31, 2009 by Liz


It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Who’s Fooling Who?

It’s the one day of the year that you can’t be sure what’s true. People get a chance to tell the most outrageous tales of events, how things work, and personal experiences.

  • What April Fools’ stories do you know?
  • Have you been caught by an April Fools’ trick? What’s the story on that?
  • Are you planning an April Fools’ joke yourself?
  • Have you ever pulled off an April Fools stunt? What was it? How much planning did it take? Whom did you catch?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Oh, and bring example links.
