I'm going to put in a couple 2 parters. And since I'm too lazy to see what number we're on I'll just number them from the beginning again.

1a. What's the funniest, or worst, April Fools joke you've ever played on someone?
b. Played on you?

2a. Are you superstitious in anyway? Something you think could happen even if you try not to believe in it?
b. What's the dumbest superstition you've ever heard?

3. How many, if any, online friends have you met in person?

4. Name one of the happiest times in your life... something you know you'll always remember and think about?

1. i'm not a big April Fools person, or much of a prankster in general. i don't recall any particular 'big' jokes played on or by me. :meh:

2. i'm not superstitious. i tend more to debunk such things. and i don't think any particular one is more or less dumb than another. :meh:

3. none, nor do i think it's likely i ever will.

4. i don't have any 'big moments' that fall into the happy category. most of my happiness comes from small ordinary things like spending time with my cats or watching a good movie. :^-^:

1.

Yeah can't really recall any hilarious pranks I was involved in on either end.

2.

a. One of my core beliefs is something some would probably consider a 'superstition', although I do not.

b. Dumb may not be the best word; perhaps awful and tragic. Some traditional healers (or similar role) in some African nations (a quick Google turned up Zambia as one example) have prescribed, as a cure for AIDS, having sex with a virgin. (This practice has since been roundly condemned by the majority of traditional healers.)

Apparently, for some of those who were unable to simply throw money at this problem and convince a financially destitute 14 year old to marry them, their solution has been to rape children.

So. Yeah.

3. A few I guess, although all of them lived in the same town I grew up in, and most hung in some of the same circles.

4. I dunno, I don't think back that often. I'm pretty darn happy with my life as it now, so I don't bother reminiscing that much.

i'm not sure what you mean by this. what problem are they unable to throw money at? AIDS? also, does a marrying a 14-year-old mean it's no longer rape?

Basically they promise their young bride financial security, which in some cases may seem like an acceptable trade off.

1. I don't play April Fools jokes, nor have I ever tolerated people playing them on me. One way to NOT be my friend is to play a prank on me. IMO most "pranks" are an excuse to do mean spirited, rude and hurtful things to other people and then be able to accuse them of not having a sense of humor if they don't like it.

2a. There's very little that could be ruled as totally impossible even if fairly improbable.

b. hard to top Chair's.

3. 0 - been thwarted on the few opportunities I've had so far.

4. Christmas as a kid, summer break as a kid. Those days of no real cares in the world.

1) Honestly, I cant remember April Folls really being anything I paid attention too. Maybe when I was real young we would pull silly jokes but nothing stands out in my mind as memorable.

2) Im not too superstitious. I wear a crucifix to ward off evil ( :D ) and I'll "knock on wood" so as to not jinx myself about something Im saying but things like Friday the 13th or black cats or whatnot dont bother me.

3) None.

4) The birth of my daughter.

Ah I forgot all about the knock on wood thing until you just mentioned it. I do that a lot I'm afraid.

Sorry if these were all a bunch of blah questions for you all. We were talking about these very things with some friends the other night and I kept them in mind...

Oh well... here's my answers.

1a. I use to play a lot of jokes on people. Most were caught on to before any actual 'foolery' but I did get my oldest brother once by telling him he got a reply to his ad (for a job) and left the number for him to call. The number was some girls he had a secret crush on.

b. Yeah, another phone trick, on me this time. They (my darling brothers) smeared honey on the receiver before handing it to me. :roll:

2a. Not really, although I also do the knock on wood thing.
b. I saw a kid get smacked once for counting cars on a train. The mother was hysterical saying that it means there will be a death in the family.

3. I've met 2. Ace is one, and we have a friend who lives in Australia that comes to see us. He'll be visiting again in March or April if things go as planned. I almost met Amentep once.. it would've been brief, at the airport because I had a 4 hour layover, but it didn't work out.

4. I have a lot! They all bring smiles to my face. The day I met Ace in person was fantastic! I'll never forget it.

Ooo, I forgot about that layover. I think I was at work when you were coming through? Or was I asleep? Darn I just really don't remember! I missed meeting another online friend while they had a layover due to a hurricane so I had a good excuse there.

I suppose sometimes I come off as harsh about April Fools/pranks; I probably shouldn't be but I've seen far too many "what were they thinking?" pranks pulled on other people (and when the victim gets mad a "why can't you take a joke?" attitude). I suppose there's an art to finding a fun and clever and inventive and harmless prank but I never seemed to know anyone up to that challenge, which I suppose has soured me on the whole thing.

a well planned, clever, or truly funny joke or prank that doesn't cause anyone to get hurt or severly pissed off is a good thing. but you don't see them too often. mostly you see 'idiot' jokes that range from unfunny to annoying to dangerous. my other objection is the idea of confining them to one day. everyone expects it so it's much harder to pull off, and the forced effort usually makes the jokes rather lame. why can't we play a good joke on someone on October 9th?

You were working. Oh lol, remember I thought you were married? I'd asked if I could meet up with you and your wife for a lunch somewhere. Funny, I don't remember why I thought you were married, probably misread a post or something.

Well as far as pranks go, I don't care for jokes that hurt people either. But you also got to know who to pull jokes on too. I highly doubt I'd ever pull one on you Amentep, simply because you don't like them. Bloggy, on the other hand, would be a royal joy to pull one on, even though he also hates them. :evil:

hmm... so you thought you were asking to meet a married man for lunch? weird.

i didn't say i hate practical jokes. i said i think most of them are ill-conceived and unfunny. i really like a well done prank, but they are rare.

why would it be such a joy to pull a prank on me, hmm? good luck with that anyway. i am unprankable. B)
