What Day Is It Today?

Wait for it . . . wait for it . . .

It's April Fools Day!

And my April Fools joke is that 

I don't have ANY April Fools memes!

Nope, what I've got for you INSTEAD

are some sick 'n twisted PUNS! 

You heard me, PUNS!

Happy April Fools Day!

Oh, I don't know about that.

Want some cake?

You deserve a sweet treat today!

Be a good sport though!

Here's the most important lesson of all --

Sure, kid, sure.

Unfortunately, this last meme is not 

an April Fools joke.

Double Holiday Fun!

And here's one from Dezzy of Hollywood Spy (or is he really just channeling HRH?)

But we all know who gets the last laugh today, don't we?

Happy Easter!

and

Happy April Fool's Day!

What the Frick Frack . . .

. . . is going on here?

Ohhhh, I see, the box says it all . . . .

Yes, it's that time of year again. Enjoy it!

Thought for the Day

April Fool's Day

Some pagans propose that April 1st with its tricks, mischief and practical jokes should be a sacred day dedicated to the Norse trickster god Loki, who has new currency at the moment because of Marvel's popular Thor and Avengers movies. Others object to honouring Loki in any way because the ancient Norse people themselves did not traditionally sacrifice to, commemorate or honour Loki in any of their religious rituals. This is because Loki is not just a fun practical joker or a sometimes-helpful agent of chaotic change but can be quite a malevolent figure, especially in the later Norse myths as the Vikings started to encounter and be influenced by the Christian concept of The Devil.

There is no doubt that Loki has The Devil's Own Charm (as does Tom Hiddleston who portrays him), so it's easy to see why Loki's new legion of fans want to honour him on April 1st. But if you do so, just remember that Loki is a two-edged sword and cannot ultimately be controlled. Not even by Thor and the other gods.

Be Careful Out There Today!

Surprise!!

May all your practical jokes be successful and well-received today, merry pranksters!
