Case pulled the "I'm pregnant" thing while we were dating. It wasn't really April Fool's but in retaliation for some goofy prank I played on her.

It backfired tho. I got all excited and started talking about moving in together and getting a nursery together and me getting a better paying job and all that. So she felt really bad having to tell me she was joking.

The you released your own punch line. You said, "I know".

Actually, I was upset. I went from 0 to "completely stoked" in about 1/10th of a second. Then from "completely stoked" to "utterly disappointed" just as fast.

This winter I saw two pictures of odd ice formations on Lake Superior and the Missouri River. I've been curious as to how they form, then today the Earth Science Picture of the Day site had similar formations so I got exited and read the explanation that refered several times to the three links; pancake ice, waffle ice and Pi ice.
Yeah, a big stack of pancakes with butter and syrup, Belgian waffle with the same and an apple pie. Hook, line and sinker.

I emailed the author telling him he'd taken me in completely and why. He sent back from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. what I wanted to know. Nice guy.

The tag line on his email - "...the appearances of nature are the truths of nature...it is through their show, not their analysis, that we enter into their deepest truths. What they say to the childlike soul is the truest thing to be gathered of them..."

I was only "got" once. By John DeBella no less.

It just happened that on the Friday before we changed the clocks ahead, I was starting a new job. I am not at my best early in the morning. These are given facts.

Now, he decided to play a prank on his listeners by telling everyone over the air that the clocks should have been set ahead an hour the night before, and kept up the pretense until nine o'clock. Unfortunately I got up at six, heard that, panicked without thinking, called my "new" boss, told him I'd be a little late due to the time change, dashed off to the job sans breakfast, arrived there to an empty parking lot and a locked door. An hour early. I was a good sport but mom was pissed enough to call the station and complain.

I thought the year that he switched around what hours he did things was much, much better ... they did the 9:00 bits at 7:00 and so on, and when giving the FCC mandated time marks, only gave the minutes part ...

I had to check my alarm clock three times when I heard the idi amin clock and thought I'd overslept by two hours ...

I see what you're writing and I can interpret it, but I wonder what you're brain thinks you're reading?
