Update (10:48pm CST):  Yes, Happy April Fools Day!  Why are you getting an error when viewing this entry from your Recent Updates and the Top Blogs page?  When you put 404 in the subject field of your entry, MindSay creates a URL for your entry (in blog view) that goes "http://yourusernamehere.mindsay.com/404.mws which causes MindSay to load the "Error 404: Page Not Found" page!  The unaware would REALLY think I deleted my blog. But....

I can't leave MindSay, I work here!

Last Year on MindSay: http://callmeroger.mindsay.com/?date=2007-04-01
I pretended that I was a totally new user, which involved changing my layout into the default theme, and default everything.

No Foolin'!

When this trip was just gearing up, I had my water heater melt down, twice, in Chattanooga.

On the trip, I had a dead battery in Iceland, another dead battery in Ireland, a flat tire in Scotland(oh, I didn't tell you about the flat tire!), a shower that didn't work (also in Scotland).

I pulled up to the house in Maryland to find my bimmer with a flat tire, an engine that wouldn't start, and a broken driver's mirror where somebody clipped it.  The tire got plugged, the mirror has been pieced together (though I need a new mirror surface to be glued on the old shattered one), and after 2 days, the Bavarian Motor Werks somehow readjusted its own idle and now starts and runs normally.

Then today at the house I noticed the refrigerator was humming for an awfully long time, and louder than usual.  Then my sister noticed the meat in the freezer wasn't frozen, and on inspection, I saw the ice cubes had all melted.  Not long after, the humming stopped, and so did the fan in the fridge!  We both hit the internet to see if we could find a bargain tomorrow but after kicking it a few times, turning it on and off (well, turning the thermostat off and on, nothing was happening), and then going to the pub for a few drinks, I came back and its humming again, the water is again ice, and the beer - THANK GOD ! ! ! - is cold. 

So I'm leaving tomorrow before my luck brings the house walls down around my sister and Mom.

 

I was supposed to go to PA and register my minivan since my TN tags have expired.  I finally decided to cheat, something I refused to do last year, and recruit my high school buddy to allow me to use his address to apply for my tags and title.  But PA changed the rules again and now I have to have a PA drivers license in order to get tags.  So I now have a minivan with dead tags that I can't register in the state where it is parked, cannot renew the registration in the state where it is tagged without spending $300 to drive it 1300 miles to TN and back, and yet am still paying $500 in insurance for. *sigh*.  So Tn and Pa have made me a criminal.  I will drive my blue marble illegally (but properly insured!) until A) it dies B) I get pulled over and the vehicle is impounded or C) I get the guts to drive it illegally 650 miles south to Georgia and register it at the Lazy B and then return it to Pa where I need it to commute from the truck terminal to the family house in Md.  Of course, Pep Boys has offered me $80 for it, but I'm not that hard up yet.

 

So.  Who's taking bets?  Did my toilet over flow in Chattanooga while I was gone?  Did my friend wreck my Dakota pickup that I lent them while I was gone?  Has Crete rescinded my job offer in my absence?

Did global warming melt Alaska taking away my next possible adventure?  stay tuned!bb.

It sucks that April Fool's Day this year falls on a Sunday.  The interruption to the normal workday usually works so much better than the interruption of a weekend.

But for those of you who want to play a prank on a loved one, a friend or a co-worker nonetheless -- here's your chance to do so.  It doesn't do any permanent damage and is a bit superficial, but it's fun nonetheless.

Requirements:  The person must have (a) a computer running Windows NT. 98, 2000, 2003 or XP (I don't know if Vista works); and (b) his/her screen left open so you aren't shut out without a password.

Go here:  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx -- Yes, it's the real Microsoft website.  Download the "BlueScreen Screen Saver."  Follow the instructions as to where you should put it per the operating system. Then -- change the person's screen saver to this one.

From that point? Watch the fun begin. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to April Fools, No one can touch "Shiny"

 

 

Oh and besides it's not Shiny's baby.....it's Nomad's.

 

YOU HEAR THAT DESI! IM HAVING HER BABY! 

(see bottom of the entry for what happened first!)
UPDATE:

I am leaving a note on her car. I wrote a note, but I am not going to leave it today. I don't need her coming after me right now. I emailed the police. But the note said:

I am asking your boss to transfer you.
I am asking the police to arrest you.
I am asking the towing company to tow your car.
I am asking my councilman to deport you.
Love,
SASCHA K.

And I drew hearts all over it. I swear, I am against throwing eggs at cars, or anything like that. But really, the police are good for nothing!!!!!!! I am going to alert them soon, giving them all her details and see if they will do anything. I had to investigate because those lazy police people wouldn't.

alright.

good day.

The car alarm went off twice this morning. Once at 6:30 and once at 8:36 am (as we speak). That means I go no sleep last night, as I went to bed after midnight. (This was after I warned the chick nicely-obviously she is a sadist and doesn't want me to be nice to her).

The chick works at a place that is known for not paying its employees well. She has a big SUV.  How can she afford it, when I am being paid a lot more than the minimum wage, but I am saving every penny for a much less-expensive car that will take quite a while to save up for....

She must be selling drugs...... I hope they bust her.
