Instead, I’m going to draw your attention to some other April Fool’s jokes I’ve come across today…

Broot alerted me to this one last night, being 16 hours ahead and knee-deep in April Foolery in New Zealand. (She also played a doozie on her facebook friends, announcing they were moving back to Canada. Brat.)

Air New Zealand announced “Standing in the Aisles” fares, where they could get an additional 89 people crammed onto each and every flight…

Then there was this one from George Takei, on Facebook;

Friends, I’m thrilled to share this news with you today. As announced at Emerald City Comicon, where I’m appearing this weekend, Paramount Pictures has green-lit a new Star Trek Movie entitled “Excelsior” in which I will play the captain. This announcement is part of Paramount Studio’s 100th-year anniversary campaign. The studio has acknowledged the fan enthusiasm for this concept ever since I appeared in command of the vessel in “The Undiscovered Country.” J.J. Abrams will direct, with Robert Orci again writing the screenplay.

My co-star in Allegiance, Paulo Montalban, has been cast opposite me to play the mercurial “Agha,” the grandson of Khan (played by Ricardo Montalban in the Second Star Trek Movie). Also featured are Gilbert Gottfried (playing a wily Ferengi First Officer) and Lisa Lampanelli (as a Bajoran security officer).

More to come on this breaking story soon. Thanks again for the years of support, and I’ll see you on the Bridge of “Excelsior.”

Finally, what would April Fools Day be without a good prank from Google? They went so far as to roll out an 8-bit version of their Google Maps, and called it Quest. Apparently it’s full of “Easter Eggs”, so you can spend some quality time-wasting and check out our world in “old-school” style.

So I’m going to go and hide out now, hoping that I won’t be further pranked by the fools in my life.

Here’s wishing any pranks played on YOU today are of the “good” variety!

 

I once had a Facebook amigo
Who posted and tweeted a huge flow
One day he ran dry
He looked up at the sky
And yelled “Hey… where did my whole adult life go?!!!”

Heehee… love you, Thom! XOXO

A real man is a woman’s best friend.

He will never let her down.

He will comfort her after a bad day.

He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do.

He will enable her to express her deepest emotions.

He will enable her to be confident, sexy, seductive and invincible…

No, wait. Sorry. I’m thinking of wine. It’s wine that does all that. Never mind.

I keep getting this sent to me (minus the pictures, which I stole from found on google…) and I love it, so thought I’d share!

Have a great long weekend!

It’s the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, finding out at age 43 that I’m pregnant!!! What am I going to do?????

How many times have I joked with my girlfriends that I’d actually jump off a building if I found out I was pregnant again at my age? How many times has the hubby nodded vigorously at that and said he’d help me over the edge? (Not even remotely funny now!)

What am I going to do? I’m too old to have another baby! We’re so far past that at this stage of our lives that I can’t even imagine raising another child. Having to deal with sleepless nights, diapers, temper tantrums, preschool and play dates?? I don’t have that kind of energy.

The worst thing about this though, is that after Wee One was born – she being the biggest shock of our lives to date – the Hubby went in for a vasectomy… so exactly how am I going to explain this to him??

“Um, Honey… maybe it didn’t work and we’ve been unknowingly playing with a loaded gun for the past 6+ years??” I think he’s smarter than that, even though he’d really want to believe it.

I haven’t told anyone yet. Not even him. I’m still trying to deal with the news myself, but I obviously have to do it before too long.

I remember the first year we were married, and I rigged up a little science experiment in the bathroom for him to find. It was almost 20 years ago, so pregnancy tests were not what they are today, and it looked pretty convincing, even to me. It worked for about 30 seconds, and he came flying out of the bathroom with saucer-shaped eyes. One look at the smirk on my face clued him in to the fact that it was… ahh yes, April 1st. And a joke. Just like this one. (That’s an adult heart ultrasound, in case you were wondering.)

I would seriously jump off that roof. And he would seriously help me.

Finally she sent me this link…

Before you click on that – I suggest you visit the potty. If you’re easily offended, maybe don’t go at all.

Just sayin’. Enjoy :)
