What about NY Observer Hopes People Still Read: http://gawker.com/374525/ny-observer-hopes-people-still-read? (Unless that one was actually real!)
Well Leon’s Pub Crawl column turned out to be real, so maybe the ORB is, in fact, true??
I’d rather see the film version of Flann O’Brien’s THE THIRD POLICEMAN. (Starring Sylvester Stallone.)
[…] Ed Champion’s April Fools Day blog posts […]
Ed, you fool me half the time no matter what the date. Your perspective often, not always, leaves me wondering: uh, why didn’t I know that? Or, wait, maybe it’s a comic presentation.
But these? Too funny even for you, even though one or two strike me as not entirely unlikely.
I’m watching Jeopardy on April 1st. For one quick shot of Alex Trebek asking us to stay tuned for the following commercial messages, he had a mustache again. Before that shot, and after the commercial break, the ‘stache was gone. Did anyone else see that?
For the amount of time I watch Jeopardy, I did indeed catch the mustache thing with Alex Trebec! LOL too funny, I am currently watching it and it brought back that memory!
