The Only April Fool's Day Post That Matters

This is a holiday that was way less irritating before the internet.
Now, you can't set foot outside your virtual door without every single site in the world making some lame "joke", with maybe one out of every 200,000 being mildly amusing, and usually two out of the entire earth's output being genuinely clever/amusing/funny.

I propose we create an Alternate April Fool's Day, held on April 2nd and featuring only the finest examples of the online wank-fest for the enjoyment of discerning interphiles.


In the meantime, here's a highfalutin' literary list from McSweeney's, William Faulkner's Favorite April Fool's Day Pranks.

1. Get a high paying Hollywood job. Move to Hollywood. Get paycheck. Stay three weeks. Move back to Mississippi! Gotcha!

Good times, good times!
Also, 'prank' is a badly misunderstood and all to often mangled word- a hearty thanks to the author for giving is a majestically appropriate setting.
