Son of a....

Congratulations...you got me good! :shock:

This is the only joke I have fallen for in years. :mrgreen:

Good Show!

I will leave my earlier posts unaltered for future generations to read. :Brain:

Although this was posted on the 31st, I should have seen through the joke. I have seen other places start their joke a day early in an attempt to fool people.

I'm always too late to contribute to these... Puncheron would be displeased! Or maybe proud with his sense of humor?!

Joël, for the FoS

Ah Tarlyn... could you have just waited a bit more...

The original post did have fools and april italicized, together with expect (this one I didn't get), but they had that one line at the end that I think was precisely to let the joke hold one day :)


But yay! Very good joke, and completely unexpected too! I was looking around the forums for topic headers that might look like an April's Fool joke, and I never thought it would be this. I just clicked this one because it was the only written by a FoS member on April 1st (my time).

Hi AG, forgive my ignorance, please, but who is Puncheron? I know I've heard the name before, but don't know where.

He's from Book of Crypts, Death's Cold Laughter. He was an evil jester, who was in fact the living shadow of the king. He was brought back in a later book, trapped as a true shadow.

I guess you didn't see the part of the first message where he asked you not to mention it.

Perhaps links to pranks from earlier years could be posted for newer members to see. Or have they already been removed.

The "farternity" joke webpage was excellent, from maybe two or three years back. I remember coming to the site and thinking DEAR GOD WE HAVE BEEN HACKED... BY A HACKER WHO ONLY BARELY UNDERSTANDS RUDIMENTARY HTML CODING...

I didn't see any reference to not mention anything, just the fools in one place and the April in another.

Still a good joke!!!!!!!!!!

Hope no one bought any plane tickets or costumes. :) Now that the day has passed, I'm going to edit the thread title just in case..
