April Fool's threads we should have had

[Opti]

As I'm reading DarkHonor's thread it seems there are some threads that should have been created yesterday. I'm thinking things like:

Doxie starts a thread on giving up her vehicle for a used Honda Civic. As icing she reveals she's terminated her Iphone contract and went to a pay as you go phone.

Caiwau starts on thread on how they decide to buy the house anyway as DW is pregnant.

PBP starts a thread on how Florida is too liberal and is looking for suggestions on places to move in Texas.



Any other thread ideas?

Phil posts that he cashed out his S&P 500 holdings and is buying gold and ammo.

[Virgil Showlion]

I had an idea for a prank that will have to be deferred until I have some more time.

Too late Virgil, we feel unloved now.

You forgot the parts about how she sells Herbie, kicks the boytoy to the curb, drains the koi pond and rehomes the dogs, cuts up all the credit cards, starts cooking dinner seven days a week, accepts a job paying $50K/year (no degree necessary) just blocks from home and commits to carrying her lunch to work every day. And hires a nanny/housekeeper willing to drive her DD to school daily and pick her up as well.

Anyone in EE posts that they have given up alcohol due to a religious epiphany.

MidJD has thrown it all away to become a pole dancer in Vegas.

Thyme left Phoenix to become a hippy in Big Sur.

Swamp leaves NY to join Thyme's husband in a bankruptcy practice because she's sick of the water.

Old Tex sold off the crystal collection and moved to Santa Cruz.

Dark gave up micro brewing to become a Mormon.

The Onion publishes an article that people who post on chat boards are smarter and richer than those who don't.

Moonbeam posts that Proboards has loosened their rules and we are now allowed to talk sexy talk.



Proboards is forced to shut down the site 6 minutes later.

Loony starts a thread that everyone can understand announcing she agrees with everyone and will take their advice.

A good April Fool's thread really has to be believable though.  I would have totally bought the Carl idea.  The others I wouldn't have believed as real on a normal day, much less April 1.

"A good April Fool's thread really has to be believable though."

Good point.
I guess my idea of a combo Tloonya store Apples to Oranges
where she sells produce and works on Apple computers wouldn't have worked.


What about Mennonites that supply really good Turkeys?

I'd have believed if sheilaincali announced she felt so sorry for Jimmy that she'd allowed him to move into her basement until he got his feet planted.

[sheilaincali]

Ah Thanks Virgil- but I'm not that much of a glutton for punishment.  I ran into Jimmy the other day at Walgreen's.  He is now planning on being a Beauty School Dropout.  He starts classes in a couple of weeks so a few weeks after that he will likely drop out if his past history is any indication.

[Chocolate Lover]

You should totally start getting your hair done at the beauty school.

Looney starts a thread with "you all are right, banks aren't evil, I deserved all of those fees...."

[Sum Dum Gai]

Caiwau starts on thread on how they decide to buy the house anyway as DW is pregnant.

Honestly, I'm surprised they've waited this long.  I've been expecting that thread for a while.
