April Fools-Foolishness


I know its been a long time since I've posted... yada yada yada...

Anyway, I wanted to post something in recognition of an oft-overlooked tradition - the April Fool's Joke. I'm not much of a Foolster (definition: The person pulling the April Fool's prank), but I do get a kick out pranks. So far, I've been a witness to two pranks. Well, kind of a victim in the second.

First - I was drafting a fantasy baseball team last night, and after a rival player picked Scott Kazmir, my friend Dave made a comment that Kazmir broke his arm earlier in the day in his final spring training outing. The panic that ensued was quite comical.

Second - Ok, I have to admit, I latched onto this bait like a pre-spawn largemouth bass. I was lured by the offer of free broadband internet service. And since the offer came from Google, I was intrigued. After all, they have an impressive list of software applications out there, many of which are unrivaled in their geeky coolness (ie. Google Earth). I immediately caught the foul stench of April Foolishness after I dove a little deeper into how this product works. See for yourselves: http://www.google.com/tisp/

You can access this link straight from the main Google webpage. Its right there, under the search form. I've been had. Happy Foolin'!

I made that analogy with you in mind, and what I'd give to hit up a good old southern lake with you for a day!

Hopefully I'll get to see you this summer when Heidi Anne arrives!

I went a little link crazy on that post, but the picture of the Bass nailing that tube was worth it!
