As the saying goes, "the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry." That was certainly the case this year as the staff attempted to plan the year's April Fool's festivities. What was our joke, you ask? Removing reviews. Attempting to be ahead of the April 1st skepticism, the changes were made (as you know) on March 25th, exactly one week ago. Taken aback, we listened and were embarrassed and appreciative of the outpouring of support given in the majority of the posts. We took a step back and decided that, yes, perhaps it was actually time to rid ourselves of reviews. The team shuffling that occurred during the joke will reverse itself to a large degree (Leda will return to her favored-blue) while the Review Staff will choose teams suited to their abilities -- these will be finalized in the next couple of weeks. While we return to the drawing board and begin planning a better prank for next year, it's time for you to share your April Fool's Day hijinxs. A Little Contest! Share your April Fool's Day story in this thread. A poll will be created tomorrow, and users will pick their favorite. The winner will be placed in the Competition Winners group for a week. Happy April Fool's Day! Locke \| TZ Administration

	I got a twenty dollar bill that says no one's ever seen you without make up, you're always made up And I'm sick of your tattoos and the way you always criticize The Smiths, and Morrissey And I know that you're a sucker for acoustic but when I say let's keep in touch i really mean I really wish that you'd grow up This is the first song for your mix tape, and it's short just like your temper, somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend, before you got too cool.

TZ Frequent Posts: 404 Group: Members Member #138,578 Joined: January 14, 2006	LOL. I have a story. XD. I went into school with some fake blood, and one of my friends with a fake (real looking) gun. He would knock hard on my classroom door and when the teacher opened it, he would shout at me and pretend to shoot me. When I fell, I would fall on the container that held the fake blood and it would break open on me. Why do I say this in the past tense? Because when my friend went into the school, the metal detectors went off on him (he had his keys in his pocket and forgot to take them out). He had the gun hidden in his hoodie, and they took him and me up to the principles office where we got suspended. (luckily we weren't expelled)...

Cogito ergo sum Posts: 6,734 Group: Former Staff Member #56,844 Joined: February 27, 2005 Latest Design http://zbthemezone.com/topic/5034253/	I forget what we did two years ago, but last year we made a fake employment forum with some resumes from the staff. Some of them were rather hilarious... wish I could see that forum again. I've never really played a prank on anybody or vice versa... thought about telling my boyfriend I was pregnant, but that wouldn't exactly work since he knows I'm not.

That's Travtastic! Posts: 10,581 Group: Former Staff Member #6,839 Joined: January 31, 2004	Wow, so are reviews coming back or staying gone? That's funny... cause I thought it seemed like a fair move when I read the original announcement.

Get some Confetti. Place it in the AC Vents of someone's car. (With the car off of course) Turn the AC on full/high/4/whatever and make sure the air is set to blow out those vents. When they start their car... Instant chaos. >D It also takes about 2 days for it all to blow out. Probably about the same to clean it >:D
