Where is MMMs April Fools Article?
« on: April 01, 2020, 10:32:05 AM »
I was looking forward to an April fools article from MMM this morning. I noticed he also hasn’t tweeted for awhile.
Then I started to wonder if he is alright. Anyone in Longmont who wants to do a welfare check?

I can't answer you on MMM himself, but since Corona has hit almost everyone had agreed to cancel April Fools.

This is what everyone thought right after 9/11. Until The Onion came out with their "Holy F***g S**t" edition.  It was well done, and just what we all needed. 

Anyway, I can imagine that today MMM is planning to sell his bicycle and buy a rolling-coal F-350, so he can commute to his new 60-hour a week office job.

I think the current front page article arguing Covid-19 isn't a big deal is a pretty good stand in as an April fools article.

It did not age well.

Fun has been canceled until further notice.

No it hasn't.  You're allowed to quietly have fun.  As long as you're by yourself.  And nobody can see or hear you.

Having a positive attitude and allowing yourself to laugh with friends & family can help you stay healthy....as does eating healthy food, sleep, etc.

This belongs in the optimism thread. April Fools "jokes" are almost all trash and I'm someone who loves humor in all its forms.

I guess its in the eye of the beholder.  During a normal year I find some of them to be quite clever.  Sure, there’s a lot of junk, but I love the thought that many others put into it.

I've always liked the ones that take some thought.  Like this:
