April Fools

[Haruhi]

So, most of you know April Fools day is coming up.

I'm not going to forbid pranks or anything, but please do not post things that are blatantly inappropriate. That is all. Have fun!

[Fobb]

Temp ban everyone for the occasion and when they come back, be like "APRIL FOOLS!"

[DavenIII]

Temp ban everyone for the occasion and when they come back, be like "APRIL FOOLS!"

that is a hilarious Idea.

[Sushikins]

I don't know what I'll be doing for the day tomorrow, but I know I'm not looking forward to work, more than usual anyway.

[DavenIII]

There's a Guy at work who HATES when people touch anything on his desk, I'm gonna hide is chair and some of his stuff....

besides that I don't have any gags to pull, my sister is away at college and my brother...well...its hard to pull off any gags on him cause he really doesn't care about much other then his video games, I can't pull a Gag on my mother or father because..well...I've put them through enough during my short time on this earth :P

and I live alone so noone there to pull a gag on....

[Fobb]

I don't think I'll do anything. Maybe if I make a stupid mistake, I'll pass it off as a joke

[Caster13]

I don't know about any pranks, but tomorrow is the day that my dad's retirement papers are final. So basically, as of April 2nd my dad is done with his job.

Last year's forum prank was Levon getting "banned". That certainly pissed people off. But there would have been a full blown **** storm if it was Desslock instead of Levon.

[HSaabedra]

Too busy covering CTIA and catching up on the Encyclopedia.....

I may post a troll/bait thread if I have time...

Damn, and I was gonna have Bernard make a "genetic fluke results in a real life catgirl" thread.

[Gibb]

Mark everything in the store down to 1 penny, but when the credit card transaction goes through it'll be full price. Oh the laughs you guys will have.

[Mikosage]

I can safely say that if anyone does anything stupid to me tomorrow I'll carve out their heart with a plastic spork and feed it to my cat.

Sorry, but I've had it up to here with idiots and their antics. About five minutes ago I almost got in a really bad wreck because some moron wasn't excecuted at birth like he should have been...I'm still a little shaken up by it.

[goddessofanime]

Tommorrow will be another day. Maybe I'll troll..

[Caster13]

I think that tomorrow, at least one person will be banned. And we've already lost some big time people last week.

[Ken-Ohki]

Temp ban everyone for the occasion and when they come back, be like "APRIL FOOLS!"

I wonder if I can ban myself then say April Fools!

Shortest ban is a day though ...

That was you?!! Oh, that's it. Watch the rooftops, buddy...and stay out of the shadows. *fades into the darkness*

[Caster13]

Somebody should allow a banned member to come back, like, dare I say.......Evil Koala, sync or anomynous?

*runs from angry mob screaming like a girl*

[Trefellin]

You should take something from his desk, prepare it into some jello and put leave it where you found it.

[Justinian]

I think I'll start a marijuana thread and post links to all of my weed sites...

[DavenIII]

lol that would be funny, someone actually did something similar with my keys once...they put it in a bowl of water in the freeze I had to wait for this ice to thaw to go home :P

but I can't do anything over the top...the guy is like 76 years old :P

Why are you looking at me for???


*whistles*

Don't say that, G! Mikosage would be sad! :'(

[Caster13]

As would the rest of this board. And justin, do NOT post anything about drugs. April fools or not, you'll get banned. Remember the quote of brothalove5? "Hey kids wanna buy a crack?":lol:

Well I hope the mods will be more lenient tomorrow.

Really? Hmm...that's kind of weird. What's the big about drugs. Is it considered profanity by the forum? If so I can understand it.

[Caster13]

It's a big time rule.

However what I can't understand is that if someone links a site to regular porn they get in trouble, but yet we have a hentai section.

[Mikosage]

Really? Hmm...that's kind of weird. What's the big about drugs. Is it considered profanity by the forum? If so I can understand it.

It's so no one gets sued. Say a mom was walking by her kid and he was reading drug related content posted on the Animenation forums. Bam! Lawsuit waiting to happen.

AN is also running a business out of this site, so I doubt they want that kind of publicity.

EDIT: And Kenpachi, the rules in the Hentai section state no posting of pictures or links to real Hentai. It's meant as a place for mature discussion about the genre itself. Also, the huge ADULT CONTENT disclaimer probably frees them from liability.

[Justinian]

I see what you guys mean. That wouldn't fly to well with a lot of people and it could cause problems. But...I had a link to a cannabis site for about a month or so in my signature.

[Mikosage]

But...I had a link to a cannabis site for about a month or so in my signature.

If I remember correctly, the link said, "Above the Ignorance" or something, didn't it? If so, you most likely just flew in under the radar.

[DavenIII]

*whistles*

It would be one helluva way to get out of living up to your end of the agreement between yourself and prons...Don't think were gonna let that go :P

Yeah, G! We want pics!

Pics or you didn't happen!

Happy April Fools, you fools.

You sure know how to work a smiley face, Katayoku :elvis:

I think it's more of an epic coincedence. At least they updated the "Destination of the month," because it had Saigon as Destination of the month since 2005.

[Trefellin]

I'm I the only one you doesn't like this stuff? The only thing I thought funny was an article I heard about in a British newspaper. Something about flying penguins.

If you need a buzz kill, come straight to me.

[Toadsage]

LOL, yes, this has to be almost the best holiday of the year.

So far today: here are the pranks ive pulled off ^^

I set all the clocks ahead 1 hour, so everyone woke up early. If only they didnt have to wear watch's.

I "recived" a phone call saying the phoneline will be out from 2:00 to 4:00... my mom cought on to that one after about 15 minutes though. (She needs a phoneline for an internet connection) A letter from the mailbox would of worked better.

Finally, when my bro gets home today, Im going to hide behind our wall, and blast him with an airsoft gun. It shoots at 700 fps, so it hurts a lil ^^

And tomorrow morning, my dads, and brothers keys will be in a glass of frozen water. I have to try that one, Ill just make sure I do it before 12:00 today, so it counts.

Yup, Im going to be sore tomorrow

[Fobb]

I pulled a blue screen prank on my dad :lol:

[Samurai Drifter]

Well, my activities today consisted of pulling the old "take a screenshot of the desktop and then hide the icons" on three peoples' computers, followed by linking to the scary roll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwj0gLriTnk&NR=1) in every post I made except for one.

Richard Branson dupes entire wireless industry with Google on Mars gag

CTIA Wireless Speaking this morning (Tuesday) at the CTIA Wireless trade show in Las Vegas, Sir Richard Branson told several hundred mobile industry insiders that he and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will soon fly a solar-powered Noah's Ark to Mars.

And they believed him.

"I'm sure all of you here know Google. Google and Virgin have got together, and we've formed a new company called Virgle," Branson said, midway through his CTIA keynote. "Larry and Sergey put a considerable amount of investment in - and I put in a slightly lesser investment. The values of our companies are slightly different.

"Basically, what we're doing is building a giant Noah's Ark, a space ship that is powered by the sun, and it will carry 30 passengers."

No one laughed. So Sir Richard kept going.

"The reason we're calling it a giant Noah's Ark is that we're taking animals on board. We're taking beasts on board. And the idea is to head towards Mars with the plan - in our lifetime, hopefully - to actually put people on Mars and build a city on Mars."

At which point, several hundred wireless wonks broke into applause. So he kept going.

"But there's a catch for the people who are going," Branson continued. "They may not come back. But I'm sure that by the time we finish the work we're doing on Mars, it will be very beautiful for people to live there."

Then, after fifteen more minutes of Virgin-fueled speechification, Branson brought the lights up in the massive meeting hall and asked for volunteers.

At least thirty people walked onto stage for the chance to live on Mars / have their photo taken with Sir Richard Branson.

Meanwhile, Google has announced the formation of Virgle on its website, vowing to turn Mars into an "Open Source Planet." According to Google's "press release," the first Virgle flight to Mars will happen in 2016. That's nine years away.

A few words for all you CTIA attendees: Today is April Fool's Day. And Larry Page was married on Richard Branson's Caribbean island. ®

:lol:

[Haro!]

lol at the Virgin + Google.
What I found especially funny was that they referred to it as an Open Source Planet and Virgin was behind it and yeah. Okay I'll stop it there.
