Fool Me Once, Shame On You...

Or maybe I have...

I'm very happy to announce that my epic April Fools joke about Travis Rice retiring from snowboarding to become a professional skier fooled a grand total of....... three people. Well, three people that I know of for sure. There could have been more, millions more perhaps... But I think it's pretty safe to say that only three people were fooled. I have to admit I was expecting a little bigger response to the hoax, more than 4 comments, so one can reasonably deduce from the lack of response that either:

A) You knew I was full of shit after reading the first sentence
B) You thought it was a feeble attempt at an April Fools joke and didn't even so much as smirk at it and wanted to vomit instead
C) You didn't read the post
D) You're best friends with Travis Rice and he told you I was full of shit
E) A, B, & C

I'm going to go ahead and throw out a wild guess and say.... E. I thought it pretty funny while I was writing it and expected quite a few people would buy it. WRONG. An anonymous commenter stated, "Really lame attempt at trying to be funny." Really?? Not even a little funny? Even if you didn't buy it I think it would've made you at least chuckle a little. Oh well, maybe some dumb schmuck will stumble upon it in the future and shit a brick after reading it... That would be awesome.

One person in particular, a close shred pal of mine who shall remain nameless in order to avoid complete humiliation, who's name is Tom and can be seen here, totally bought the joke and sent out a few text messages to his pals saying, "OMG WTF T.Rice quit snowboarding and is going to be a skier!!" Including one to me feverishly asking if it was a joke. I woke up to that text and was very pleased with myself.

Maybe next time I play a joke on the blogging world I'll try not to suck. Dig it.
