What are you doing for April Fools Day? I'm moving to Mexico to live on the street and teach myself guitar by busking for change and burritos. Or perhaps joining a feral cat colony to live as a feline.

I'm preparing a vegan dinner to accompanied by non-alcoholic beer while listening to some synthpop on NPR.

Then I'm going to an anti-pornography rally, right after I get my nails done and jog.

What else? Hanging out on MeCha.

I'm pretending to sell my metafilter account.

Seriously, does anyone have any good pranks planned? Or have you done any in the past? I guess that should be its own thread.

Me? I'll be going to church, then running a marathon, after which I'll have incredible lesbian sex before I announce that I'm moving to Argentina.

Oh, and I'll cook dinner. Without drinking.

Signing copies of the self-help book I wrote sharing my great insight and understanding of personal growth and human relations.

When I get home I'll sit around, profoundly bored, wishing I could think of something, anything, I wanted to do, and bemoaning how long and empty each day seems.

I have a couple ideas.

Gardening!

I'm going to spend about ninety minutes eating hot sauce. Just hot sauce. Well, the sauce is going on tortilla chips, but that's about it. I'll be eating enough sauce with chips to call it a meal.

And then I'm going to kiss my fiancee.

Oh, wait, I see. We were supposed to joke.

I will be painting my toenails. All day! And then I will exfoliate!

"Or have you done any in the past?"

Well, there was that time I disconnected the building's fire alarms, opened all the trash chutes and set the dumpster on fire so the smoke filled the hallways.

Actually, that was Courtney and none of my other personalities have let her out to play since then. She gets back at me by screaming "Die, motherfucker, die", generally in my left ear. Of course, Sue thinks that the height of hilarity and once she starts giggling, she can go for hours.

I've told you all about Courtney before. She was my transvestite persona when I hung out at bars outside Fort Gordon near Augusta, Georgia.

"Oh, wait, I see. We were supposed to joke."

Yeah, the joke part of my story is that the dumpster fire was in midsummer, not on April 1.

Hey, I was young, I was crazy, I had just got out of the Marines...

My day job at the time was keeping inventory for the security detachment that guarded processed plutonium for nuclear weapons at the Savannah River Site.

posted by mischief 31 March | 22:36

The background investigation interviews for my security clearance were always quite entertaining. They couldn't deny me clearance because I didn't keep anything a secret.

Well, except the fire...

Until now...

heheh

... and no, I was not a prostitute! I never charged anybody anything.

posted by mischief 31 March | 22:56

Beside, handjobs aren't really sex anyway. I know cuz that's what the MP told me. Afterwards.

posted by mischief 31 March | 23:01

Thinking back on that period of my life, those Signal Corps boys must have been really lonely. Or, maybe it was because I had more teeth than the local girls.

posted by mischief 31 March | 23:08

After all, swapping spit with someone missing a front tooth (or two) is really pretty gross.

Goodnight, I'm headed to Polly Ester's in the Stratosphere!

posted by mischief 31 March | 23:11

I am going to find you all hilarious.

I'm taking a hit off mischief's bowl and then watching jonmc as I get used to my new "wendell" persona.

posted by arse_hat 01 April | 00:27

In addition to the usual refusal to kiss during the act, i will now charge money.
