It seems like I got one heck of a response yesterday from my April Fools Blog Post. I had one up earlier about accepting a job in California, but since I am in the middle of a new job search and am in contact with a few companies, something told me that may not have been the smartest move for a blog post. It was up merely 5 minutes and Michelle actually read it.
I then deleted it and changed direction to see if I could reel a few people in. Myspace is a feature that many members of my family use and use regularly. So, I come up with some hair brained scheme that they were going to start charging. I even threw in a little oxymoron when I said they were going to charge you for free downloads. I'm just glad everyone read the last line of the blog before anyone deleted their myspace accounts. I did get contacted by Val, Kim, Pam and Mom (women are so vulnerable) about the myspace charges.
I have pulled a few good pranks in my day, I even laugh at one I did about ten years ago when I used Kim's website to throw the possibility that Jeff Gordon was our cousin. I've pulled a few good ones, the one yesterday even though it was not very well thought out or written (on purpose) was still very effective.
Last night on ESPN's Pardon the Interuption they did a real nice one that was actually believable for a brief period of time.
However the best one I think I have ever seen pulled by the media was by George Plimpton and Sports Illustrated years ago when they published an article on Sid Finch, and his 153 MPH fastball (about 50 MPH faster than the fastest ever recorded pitches.
It was a good day.
