I don't know about the joke for this site, but I just read about a great one. One of our local stations played a big joke on all of their listeners. I did not hear it, but just read about it on our local news site. As everyone knows, the Superbowl will be held here in Jacksonville next year. Well the radio station said that there had been a secret meeting last night and that the game had been moved to New York. I read that right afterwards, that hundreds of people called in asking about this. Finally they admitted that it was a joke. It also mentioned that the station has been contacted by the NFL and the Jacksonville Superbowl Host Committee about the joke. Don't know if they will get into trouble for it or not, but it seemed like many people believed it.

 

Steve used to change the main page to the site to something funny every year for april fools..

maybe he can post links to all the old april fools jokes?

 

On another forum I go to, the word "the" was banned :P

 

I havn't noticed anything yet

 

Anyone have any good ideas for a prank to play on my GF?

I'm completely stumped this year.

 

A few years ago, they switched the DJ's between a Classic Rock & a Country station here in town, & allowed them to play whatever they wanted. Shoulda heard the commotion on both sides of the fence! I listened to both sides all morning

 

Didn't BMW announce a new feature called "heated tires" (for those slippery frozen roads) for their 7 series a while back on April 1?

 

do you have a kitchen sink with one of those sprayers on a hose?
use a rubber band or black tape to hold the lever down on it so that it will spray her when she cuts the faucet on.. lol

rub her toothbrush on a bar of soap then put it back.. hehehe

get some boxes & pretend to pack your stuff up (or her stuff), and when she gets home, sit her down and say "we need to talk".

 

Sorry, but I didn't have the time for one this year. If I've learned anything as a new parent, it's that the free time you once had simply no longer exists.

Here's an archive of three out of the four April Fool's Jokes I've played, sorry I could not find the 1999 joke, I think we were shut down for trademark infringemet, or something like that:

I like April 2000.

When I was surfing archives.com(I think thats the site) I actually thought April 2001 was real instead of a joke

 

The first one in 1999 got nearly everyone, because it was the first one Steve did, no one was expecting it. The Site was shut down by Ford due to Copyright infringement. Everyone was outraged and it took a couple of days to calm down and realize Steve had got us good.

This one in 2000:
https://www.f150online.com/april1/april2000.html
concerned me because it was done a little too good.
Too good for someone with no experience in putting something like this together.

 

wasn't the one in 1999 right about the same time another site had real trouble with ford making it even more believable?

yeah the trucks and tramps one got me bad. i slammed it shut at first then peeked again to see if it was still there. then caught on. ah the good ole days.

BTW steve i totally understand the time for parenting thing as most here do i'm sure.

 

brooks, you are so evil.

 

lol
