The April Fools thread

"Gaudreau demands trade"

[photon]

I was pretty sure someone would post a "Flames sign Backstrom to a 2 year deal" thread.

This April 1st garbage needs to die a fast and excessively painful death. Hate this crap every year.

Thank you for starting this thread. I'd rather have a thread like this where people can post joke ideas instead of clogging up the board with what they think are extremely funny jokes. We know the date. We know the thread is fake. Post them here and those of us who want to get a good chuckle will read them without making those who don't have to weed through to find actual news.

Flames talking multi-year extension with Hiller.

[IgiTang]

Last year my Chief Petty Officer First Class wrote up a fake posting message posting me to HMCS Victoria ( Diesel Submarine) right after she scraped the bottom of in Juan De Fuca Strait..

I thought it was a joke until the base commander sent me an email thanking me for Volunteering.. After a day of thinking "great, I'm gonna effin die in a submarine", my wife found out from another military wife before I even got home that day. My wife called my Chief and ripped into him. Because his wife and mine are friends, she told his wife and she made him sleep on the couch.

Needless to say, sometimes this April fools crap comes back to bite you in the ass..

Agreed, it needs to go. It's sooo stupid.

Mayor Nenshi releases a column that fully supports CalgaryNext. Avoids a press conference because he doesn't like giving media sound bites.

A couple months ago, someone revived the "Hiller signs 2 year deal" thread on another forum. So many heart attacks. It wasn't intended as a troll, guy had legit questions about Hiller. But I thought idea wise, it would be excellent as a prank.

Imagine if someone necro'd a Sureloss thread on a UFA guy everyone hates. Everyone would see it and just think they were late to the party for commenting.

I agree though, most April fools pranks are just bad. They aren't even funny.
