Ron,
And I thought MARVIN was bad! :evil:
Your fired!
JC, St. Peter will know the truth, when your standing at the Pearly Gates with your Bait Box.
Doug :oops:
THAT was dirty. YOU TOOK 10 YEARS OFF MY LIFE that I can’t afford(62yrs old). May the gods of fiyfishing put bread crumbs in your bed at 2 in the morning for 2 weeks. Now I need to change my pants.
Hokked me like a…Bass on a sucker minnow. Excellent job. Google is also up to their annual tomfoolery.

Just thought I would get your attention and get the ol’ blood pumping first thing this morning.
Not NEARLY as bad as what the government did to us though.
With daylight savings time embedded in all kinds of clocks and things, and supposed to be normally happening today, my alarm clock dutifully jumped ahead 1 hour last night.
Thought I’d overslept.
Check your clocks today, anything that did automatic time adjusts may or may not be correct. And don’t blame me for that one. I’m not THAT good.
And what REALLY frosts my ass is that I bit into this a whole mouthfull worth even after 64 years of suffering April Fools pranks. I GOT CAUGHT. GOOD ONE!!!
Ok, all you Michigan Fish-In’er’s…I say we MAKE JC go minnow fishing, WITH bobber while in Grayling! Might as well include LF…she was involved in this too!..OH!, & certainly Ron needs to be punished, & SEVERELY!
Mike
As much as I’d like to see JC get razzed I’m afraid that JC and LF had absolutely no idea of what I had planned.
NEVER give an IT geek the keys to the castle if you aren’t there to supervise the work.
JC and LF woke up this morning to a MUCH worse shock than most I bet. I mean not knowing what the heck is going on, and thinking that the site was hacked or worse… ROFL.
Good one. I have this vision in my head of JC Bait fishing in tails and a cummerbund with Ladyfisher beside him on the dock wearing a long formal gown and white gloves. Both of holding ugly sticks and casting a bright red and white bobber, worm fishing for suckers.
My best gotcha was way back in 1973. I worked at Princeton air radio station. Princeton British Columbia is 38 miles north of the USA/Canadian border.
We did the local surface weather observations each hour at the airport. The local radio station CKSP was situated in a windowless room in the basement of a local building. Ron Marapido the local announcer would phone us every hour for the temperature and sky conditions. Otherwise he would have to climb the stairs and go down a long hallway to look out so he could report conditions. We also would record the public forecast for him at 5am for re-broadcast at 6:30am and noon. It added some local color to get the weather from the airport each hour so we were happy to do our bit for the community.
Starting about 6 am on April first. I Read the forecast which was for clear skies and nice springtime temperatures. I added in that there was a storm in Seattle that had only a 1% chance of getting this far north.
The first hour I told him the temperature and that the sky was clear with just a tiny hint of cloud from the storm way off to the south over the United States it looks too far south to even affect us in any way but the Americans might catch heck from it.
At 7:00 o?clock I said the cloud was still at least 20 miles away and didn’t look to be coming our way.
At 8:00 O’clock I told him that the cloud was now looking quite black and very ominous perhaps we might get a little rain.
At 10:oo o’clock I told him that there were a few drops of rain but it probably wouldn’t amount to much.
At 11:oo o?clock I told him, Wow Ron you should see this storm it is coming down in buckets with thunder and more lightning and large hail than I?ve ever seen in my life.
At 11:05 I got a call from an out of breath and very Irate Ron Marapido who had put on a long record, run up the stairs, down the long hallway to witness the storm for himself. He flung the door open to a bright warm cloudless day. April Fool Ron!
The best part was, people phoned him up all afternoon and the next day to congratulate him for his wonderful Joke on the community. Several days later he admitted on air that I had gotten him good and that I was the April fooler not him.
