April Fools...Who Fooled You?
 
So, it's time to bring out the gullibility and be proud of it. What's been done to you today?

1) The google storage thing went up, and I really thought it was doing it just like that and got alarmed and almost sent an email to support about it

2) I got convinced by someone that we have another spring break next week

3) About 20 461 tattoos were placed by some freinds staying at my house...right onto my stomach while I was asleep. How on earth they got them onto my stomach I'll never know, but I just know I woke up and I had a lot of 461 tattoos on my stomach. Team Pride! Yah! What's scary is I dunno where they found those...probably at MWR.

On an online game I play, they changed the map so that the post/pillars/whatever spelled out, in braille, "April Fools."

That's the extent of it. :)

--EDIT/PS--
They didn't tell us what or where the messege was, just that their was one. I'm rather proud that I found it. :)

I woke up to my mom telling me I didn't have school, so I went back to bed and was almost late. She's evil I swear.

I was on my way to school to leave for the GTA Regional. On the radio, the DJ said "Breaking news this morning: there is an end to the NHL lockout!" He said there would be a round robin tourney starting next week and there would be a Stanley Cup, I was too tired to think and I believed him. That's 2 years in a row now.

Teammate told me that there would be no free food at Team social here in SC, which I just got angry over cause I don't much like the team social anyway. But there was. So its all good.

My fiendish friends woke me up early by ringing the door bell than just left me at the door as they drove away

I never got fooled...I was at youth group, and our youth leader, Jordan, gave us all these index cards with a joke to play on everyone. Mine ended up being this: "You have to limp--get someone to ask what's wrong and tell them you wrecked your bike when a mail truck accidentally ran you off the road." Oy that Jordan.

My friend Rebecca almost fooled me. She had to cough hysterically, and when the person got her water and came back, she'd cough and say "Thanks, but--April Fools!" =D Was funny. I didn't believe her, though she really was good at it.

No one else could get me. Only Rebecca became close.

Also, my friend RJ from Team 173 attempted to pretend to be a robot on my voicemail, and try to tell me there was a tornado coming into my town. >_<; what a nerd.

Lets see who fooled me (just a couple of Message boards, but I wont give out names)

MB #1. Gave users the chance to have custom avatars for one day (probably the most cruel of them all).

MB #2. Inverted the colors of the entire message board as well as having a picture of Dr. Wily (from Megaman) in a bikini (sick! sick! sick!)

MB #3. Made up some lame stories of Playstation2's getting recalled due to the recent lawsuit that was brought on them as well as made false stories of an upcoming Phantasy Star 5 and Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst coming to Gamecube.

As you can see, I really am sick of April Fools after dealing with it for 18 years of my life.

i didnt get fooled but my dad tried...
you see i had diyed my hair pink for competition (w00t) but my school isnt very fond of non-normal hair colours...so i had to dye it back...and when i got up my dad looked and said pink roots were coming back...yea...sure...the only problem is that my hair isnt naturally pink so it wouldnt grow in pink lol...

The Palmetto refs fooled our alliance in our first match yesterday pretty hard.

(Actually, it was just a scoring mistake--the other alliance scored sixty penalty points, which were erroneously attributed to us. We got it fixed, though. :D)

My Co-Workers hung my tool box from the 20-foot-high ceiling... (I seriously don't know how they got it up there...and I haven't gotten it down yet...:()

They got their just desserts...:D

team222badbrad got me pretty good last night. We were on IM and we were talking about Nationals. Just out of the blue he gives me the bad news that camtunkpa (our drive team coach) would not be attending nationals due to work issues. I was flippin' out jumpin' all over the place. Now, I wasn't having a good night in the first place, but five minutes later I realized that it was April 1st. :D Good job Brad! ;)

My mentor fooled me. He and the drive team decided to get a hotel near the venue by themselves because the team couldn't afford the hotel thing this year. He called me about 8:00 and in a slurred voice, told me the they were all drunk. The phrase freaking out doesn't even begin to describe my reaction...

Being the most gullible person on my team and the fact I forgot it was April 1st I believed Dave when he said that the teams who had been at the WMR all years would get automatic entry... gah... I need to work on that gullibility factor... and there was the fact I was still semi asleep...

Auto entry into the elimination rounds, for clarification. He had me going for a minute too, as I wondered how that would work! :p

The pit announcer at Vegas convinced us that the pits were closing in 5 minutes, and this was at 3:55, so we started to pack up. Then realized that the pits closed 2 hours later, evil.

Re: April Fools...Who Fooled You?
 
in my english class, we had this one student ask the teacher to make and enlargement of this thing on the photocopier. While she was gone, everyone in the class had turned their watches 30 mins ahead and we turned the clock on the wall 30 mins ahead and we even went as far as turning the clock on her computer 30 mins ahead as well.

when it was time to go (or so the clock said) we all left, walked around the school, and then came back (cuz she could've gotten fired for letting us out that early) and we all said in unison "April Fools".

lol :D it was so good!!

Did you hear about what happened at the Tokyo zoo? The zoo director at the Ueno zoo in Tokyo dressed up as a giant penguin and walked around the penguin area. No one, including the penguins themselves, was fooled, but it was a hilarious prank nonetheless!

Here is a link to the article and a very funny picture.

I think he had a lot of the teams going a little bit when he said that... but I was ready to tackle him when he said April Fools...

While I'm not French, I prefer to celebrate Poisson D'Avril instead of April Fool's Day. Anyone can play pranks and make stuff up, but it takes a lot of work to tape fish to people all day.

You missed it :) Poisson D'Avril is just the French version of April Fool's Day. It's on April 1st, too.

Now that is just cruel. Don't worry about it tho I would have fallen for it too...and I would have been so $@#$@#$@#$@# excited I would have dusted off my 30' Maple Leafs flag and hung it proudly in our pit.

on the friday of the GTA regional...my two best friends caroline and harriet told me that they could only stay until 2 that day and couldnt come at all on the saturday...i was so shocked that i started screaming (and thats hard to do at 6:30 in the morning)...caroline started laughing and shes like "APRIL FOOLS" im like "you realize im not awake at this time...dont do that to me" ugh it was so mean...oh and about the end of the lockout...if that was true then I would have put my Toronto Maple Leafs flag back up on my dads car and he really hates it when its up because it makes alot of noise :D:D
