APRIL FOOLS

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

Very good one, my jaw dropped. A real W.T.F. moment there! I was wondering how many hors d' oeuvres I was going to need to make, and if I had enough lasagna pans.

Glen Ellyn is beautiful though, founded in 1834 by veterans of the War of 1812. There are many old historic homes in town, and the site of the old, um, maison derriere still stands.

Hehe, that one got me for a while until I saw "APRIL FOOLS" (this thread).

Although it is true my town is beautiful and my house is medium sized.

Bad thing is that airfare is almost impossible, the only airports that offer regular flights to Thunder Bay are,

Minneapolis, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Ste. Saint Marie, Toronto and Ottawa.

(Also a few small Northern Communities) (I guess you could fly to Toronto or Minneapolis then to Thunder Bay)

Ahahaha, I got a mid-heart attack, but then I looked at this:

Nice try, but I am invincible!!

Do you mean that im not hosting a party? But i made rice crispy squares and everything....

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I didn't notice it until I came here as I simply go stright to the CJ section when I come.

And the zip code is off... the zip code on the front page is for the University of Dayton itself, not the dorm rooms.

Odd... the image quality of my avatar was lowered when it appears on the front page notice.

Plus, how does one fit over a hundred thousand people into a dorm room? Or even just a hundred?

OMG I am going to kill you people!!!

I was like what? You made my jaw drop five feet!

But I have to say one great prank admins! I thought I would be getting all these emails and stuff!

One big LOL

I knew it was a joke even though I forgot it was April 1. Who in their right mind would want to come to my town??

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I was really hoping it was just me. That would have been a real boost to my popularity!

Hee, apparantly I live 2000 kms away from I actually live! And Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, is wrong...Its Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa...which is WAYYY more beautiful that jo'burg...

[Superchan 23]

[Cleaner475 150]

I haven't been on in months and it just so happens today is the day I have a chance to come and see what's going on. . . I think I pooped a chicken when I saw that.

Hats off to you guys for that one.

And wouldn't you know it, it really is beautiful here in Vegas today. . .

Nice One guys!

[atilla5 6]

like everyone else I had a mild heart attack, it really scared me there for a second!!!!!

Great Joke!!!!

[Mikeaut1 261]

HAHA Awesome!! I knew it was April Fools and Dirk and the admins had something up their sleeve like every year, just didn't know what it was. Very clever though! LOL

[Ntq€310 1]

lol, and I thought I was going have to try and give over 200 thousand users hotel info in a metro area that only has say 210,000 people not to mention that I think were going be swamped anyway for that week. But great joke, I thought it was real for a second!

[tankmank 853]

I nearly had a heart attack when i saw this as i completely forgot it was April fools and i even checked my Email to see if people had asked LOL

Mines might

Made me think, " I hope they like Deep fried Mars bars and being bottled by drunks"... I live about 80 miles from Glasgow anyway, so I wouldn't be able to make it if it was real (I could, but I'd rather drive through the Korean DMZ in a really slow, dayglow coloured golf buggy )

[Philadelphia 25]

I nearly peed my pants! I went to the chat freaking out until i checked the forums and noticed I wasnt the only one to experience the semi-heart attack and I finally got the joke. Good one Dirk. It made my day.

[Ryan B 35]

Very funny!

Mine said I lived in Webster, NY - which is actually about an hour away. I live between Buffalo and Rochester . . . Webster's east of Rochester.

Wrong side of the Pacific here.

I'm in Oregon on a campus wi-fi connection right now.

Ah, I thought I was actually going to host a party! Darn

[Abc987 3]

I freaked when I saw this! When I first saw it, I thought it was some sort of recognition for me (I'm so self-centered, ha ha). Then when I read it, I knew it couldn't be truly about a convention, but I still thought that maybe someone had hacked into the website and posted all my personal information for anyone to find. That's what really got me scared. It didn't take long for me to figure it out.

The best prank played on me for a long time!

[JakeMD 107]

I had a few PM me about this, then found out for myself. NICE prank dirk, very nice. Though it would be hard to host a convention for 200k + people.

I was freaked out for a couple of seconds, but after finding out it said my house in San Jose I figured it out. Best april fools joke in the history of april fools.
