Fool's Day Q&A

Questionable Illusion

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to a very special April Fool's edition of the Q&A. As someone with a penchant for mischief, I've always considered this to be the most important holiday of the year. Way more so than Christmas, which kind of sucks in terms of prank potential. You can only hide the baby Jesus from the manger scene so many times before it gets boring. April Fool's Day, on the other hand, filled to the brim with potential.

Q: Who do you like to prank?

A: My favorite pranks are based in the real world, where I usually prey upon my friends and loved ones. You'll find that gaining someone's trust gives you a blank check for mischief. Don't get discouraged if your family moves away without telling you their new address. That just means you're an effective prankster!

Q: Has anyone ever pulled a prank on you?

A: Not in the real world. Those types of pranks only work well if the mark loses his dignity. I have no dignity, so I'm virtually unprankable. You could throw pieces of shit at me, and I would catch them and thank you kindly for the free shit.

Q: Why are Internet-based pranks becoming increasingly popular?

A: They're only popular amongst the neckbeard IT geeks who run our favorite sites. In past years, April 1st has been used as an open excuse to rattle Internet users. Fark's Haxxor Pigs have frequently been an April Fool's Day fixture, though I did not see them make an appearance this year. My favorite Fark-related prank from years gone by had to do with redesigning Fark to make it more like Facebook. Though it wasn't as funny when Digg did it for real.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you had a great April Fool's Day. If you're still looking to get pranked, please check out this link to a humorous video I enjoy.

Stay tuned for more dated antics from the Doctor!
