the meanest april fool's joke ever?
Those of you who know me from the Xbox.com forums GamerParents thread probably know that my son and fiancée (yea, we're still not married ;>) have been visiting "the in-laws" (so not actually in-law yet...) overseas since early February. Not wanting to be away from my son for so long, I even visited them for two weeks at the beginning of March.Anyhow, she went on a one-way ticket, because she wasn't sure how long she would be staying. I've been nagging her pretty constantly ever since I came back to come home because I miss them so much. My parents have also been bugging me pretty constantly as well as they haven't seen him for two months.
Yesterday, she called me to tell me she'd be home this Friday (!). So when I went home I scrambled to clean the place up...empty pizza boxes, a kitchen full of dishes, laundry everywhere, a full stack of 360 games in front of the TV - let's just say that if you visited, you'd think my place had been ransacked by a burglar.
Later that night, I got a call from her and she put her sister on the phone, who asked me if I was excited about them coming home so soon... and then asked me if I knew what day it was.
Anyways, I ended up eating at Pizza Hut that night, because I got PAZONED. I'm still not sure when they're coming home, but hopefully it's around the 15th. To everyone out there: please don't toy with your partner's emotions in this way! Anyone else have any stories about really cruel or funny April Fool's jokes that they pulled or were pulled on them?
Hey Man-
Love the site... been frantically searching Ohio's nearby writing jobs and especially game editing/writing jobs for 10 days now.... then I see this arsehole doing what I've always wanted to do.... Just kidding, bro, keep up the incredibly good work.... I always appreciated your voice of reason in the forums.... damn, now I have another site I have to check every day...

That's not a funny prank, that made me a little sad. I'm sorry, I'm sure you were plenty excited too.

Thanks JD. I was a little sad, but she'll be home in the next couple weeks anyway. A slight silver lining is there's a going away party for a close colleague of mine on Friday that I would've had to miss.
Hey Cosmic, you've stumbled over here, eh? Don't worry, I don't get paid for this! (Wish I did ;>)

Nice site! I'm interested in creating my own site and was just wondering how much is it to maintain a site like this?
