Did anyone play an April Fool's joke on you? If they did, what was it? ;D

No, but I got pulled into this one...

(http://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/JLee-AprilFool-TrekXI-Ent-1280.jpg)

It was released to be a replacement design for a new Star Trek Movie to feature Kirk et al with modern actors.   What they call a reimaging.

I was on the horn to CBS Paramount...and exchanging emails all day (much in the same way we do the like here)

I knew it was a hoax...but the side debate on fiddling with Star Trek rivaled our uniform discussions.  ;)

Nope, but our squadron Deputy commander (who owns a flight school) absolutely hates the PA-38 Tomahawk. So I sent him a drawing with the old trauma hawk in a CAP paint scheme as the new CAP ES liaison patrol  aircraft.

[darn], and I thought I was a Trek geek  :D

(Frighteningly enough, I wound up getting interviewed in WSJ regarding Star Trek and Star Wars right before SW Ep. I came out...)

My birthday.   :P

Apparently, my mother thought it would be a great joke to play on the family to have her son on April Fool's Day.

If you did that with Photoshop, could you send it to me?  There's a guy I know here with the same animosity toward that little airplane.

Did it with MS Paint. You should be able to import it into photoshop and mess with it. Watch your e-mail.

No one got me, but I got a few...  Put post-its on the bottom of their mice, changed the keyboards to Dvorak etc.

No they're double trick candles.  They go out, but when you lick the frosting of the bottom, they re-ignite.  very tricky, you go first.

Reminds me of an old BD card I bought in quantity cuz it was so funy.

Front has an alien creature on the front. Text sez: "Hombly Borgeek to you, Hombly Borgeek to you..."

Inside sez:" But the best part is when Sproggles tries to lick out the candles."
