April April

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

April April

I'm a little slow, but April Fool's is in full implementation on this site now. I'll let you all find what's what.

HA! Okay, my most recent post in the What Are You Watching Right Now thread makes much more sense now.

I'll be resetting things back to normal in the morning, so here is a list of the names that were altered in posts for posterity:

Goiter -> April Fool
Jubbers -> Finite Non-Fiction
Jubboiter -> Poopy Little Puppy
Dalty -> Money Bags
Adam -> Scandinavian Man
Mal -> Bene
Scarlet -> Navy Blue
Quasar -> Nebula
Neglet -> Black Belt
Space Tycoon -> Earthbound Worker

I only wrote your name out to see if Finite Non-fiction did something with it. She did.
The Swollen Goiter of God wrote:So has anyone other than Bene or Scandinavian Man seen the finale? I know that I, April Fool, have not seen it. I'm pretty sure Finite Non-fiction hasn't seen it, either.

Navy Blue? Nebula? Black Belt? Earthbound Worker? Money Bags?

I know Poopy Little Puppy hasn't seen it. I thought about watching it with her last night, but I read some H***o to her instead.

I'm so confused, but then, I'm now at the age when I April Fool's prank myself by forgetting about appointments and then remembering the wrong time, thus sending myself into a panic until my old slow brain finally remembers what's what.

The trick is to pick someone who has been out of the limelight for a while and wasn't that big a star while he was in the limelight. It helps if the person went and got relatively old without you realizing it. It also helps if you spend years establishing yourself as an authority on celebrity death, creating a template for reporting celebrity death, and then adhering to said template when reporting the fake death.

Still, I'm surprised anybody bought it. People are supposed to be on their guards on April Fools' Day.

Your time zones are irrelevant. The world only sits down to dinner when Greenwich tells them they are allowed.

So tell me, Dalty, are you going by GMT at the moment, or are you going by BST?

Look out, Greenwich. Your time is up. You thought your current time was mean? Wait'll you see what's in store for you. Whenever I get around to it, that is. I can bide my time.

It's OK for me to be late. Jubbers is the one we don't want to be late.
