April Fools '07

Color Printer · **Posted:** Wed Mar 28, 2007 1:58 am

April Fools '07 will be all up on us on sunday. And naturally, we'll all have some kinda prank or two just waiting to be pulled on someone.

What kind of pranks will you be doing on the Day of Fools '07? Don't tell us anything involving the forum/wiki...wouldn't want to spoil the surprises.

Speaking of which, another question I'd like to bring up...what are TBC planning for this year on H*R.com? We can only wonder...

I'll be pulling out a new one this year: The "Our Computer Doesn't Work" prank. I'll just make a file that'll display some technical jargon, like this:

Code:

BIOS Error: 4PR1L-F0075
Could not start system.
DOS shell activated for debug.

Yay for DOS batch files!

I won't be here on sunday. Sucks. But have fun without me! I doubt anything worse than Pwnday can happen.

You should make the error message say "User Error: Replace User."

I actually joined on Fool's Day. It'll be my Forumday.

Well, I just hope the Homestarrunner prank is something new to see. Last year's April fools was very dissapointing. Just flipping the toons wasn't much of a prank.

They better not do something cruel like fool us into believing that level 10 is out when it's not. Or reverse psychology, where they make us believe that they are pranking us, when they're not. That's my guess.

---
What pranks am I doing? Considering it's on a Sunday, none. Probably the usual

"Hey you!"
"What?"
"April Fool!'
"Huh?"
"I wasn't really telling you anything."
"Oh."

One year, I emailed this pic to a bunch of people I know. My mom actually thought it was crashing her computer.

Oh dag, I have a piano CM test on that day...>_> Crap, haha.

Watch, the judges will be like, "Congratulations! You passed! JUST KIDDING!"

If old people have a sense of humor like that anyway. Haha. XD

Remember the Wiki's last Joke?

Epic.

The Tavi skin? Ugh. The Fanstuff at least had a better prank than the reverted Tavi skin. Joshua (or some sysop) pretty much vandalized all the main templates, the navigation links, and the links at the top. Like he changed my watchlist to "People you stalked". I do remember a lot of Eekdancers around.

There even was a message saying: "If you have any complaints, disscuss here." which links you to your talk page. Heh. I remember The Noid jokingly complained on his own talk page.

Somewhere there was a link to a page saying April Fools, and you sign your name.

Of course, the only people here that remembers that is Color Printer, The Noid, and Joshua.

Yeah, epicly annoying. I should have shut my mouth, and maybe things would have gone by better...

Now THAT was hilarious. I didn't fall for it, but it was pretty funny. I assume something similar will happen this year.

Oh, and don't forget the yearly trolling of Wikipedia. *groan*

it sucked.
flipping the wiki upside down, that would be notable.

BazookaJoe · **Posted:** Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:32 pm

The wiki prank was good and you know it.

A new skin for everybody and it didn't sacrifice functionability? That was amazing. Many of you believed it. Look at what happened to our daily reach on that day. Success.

It's my anniversary! ^^ I have to come up with plans quick though. Maybe just dinner at some fast food restaurant.

Didymus · **Posted:** Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:04 pm

At least make it a good fast food place.

Well, of course. Like, Taco Bell or Subway or something. Maybe even one of the taquerias downtown. We have, like, billions of 'em. (Totally the best thing about living in a town with a large Mexican population. ;D MEXICAN FOOD FTW!)

Agree'd. Papa Chanos is a chain of Mexican joints where I live (they might have some up by you, I dunno) but some of their stuff is crrrrrrrrraaazy cheap. Me and my friends can get a bunch of stuff plus free chips and only pay like 5 bucks. Or after a bunch of people see a movie, we can walk down to this place, order a gigantic $10 plate of nachos and all pitch in like 75 cents.

*wishes he had Mexican food right now*
