I've mostly alternated from being ambivalent about April Fools Day to outright hating it ever since 34 years ago on this date when I was the victim of a schoolyard shooting, but in a world where actual headlines for actual true stories make people stop and say "WAIT, WAIT WAIT! ... Is this satire?!?!", how is April Fools Day still even a thing?

I just noticed this morning on the 2019 calendar I picked up from my favorite pupuseria down the street from me, April Fools Day is listed amongHolidays & Observances. I've also noticed in my Facebook feed that perhaps the most standard hoax du jour for AFD 2019 is announcing that you are moving to L.A. I do quite like visiting L.A., but I'd sooner be believed to announce I'm dedicating my life to staying in Sacramento and running for mayor.

的要离开悲哀的发作aise of re-setting playoff expectations to "low" status--not to mention also the weight of the world--please share some funny stories of pranks that were actually funny, whether they happened on April 1 or not, as well as any tidbits, announcements, proclamations, reports of lesser-known sporting achievements and doping scandals, movie reviews, what new limited-time fast-food item looks interesting, interesting facts about Mort that we never would've expected to be true, etc., such as the kind we expect to read and share in ye olde junk-laden bureau chest of drawers.
