April Fool

There you go. I just unleashed another April Fool's gag at my main blog. I do this every year and have done so for as long as I remember. For the most part it's not that effective anymore because people expect it from me. But someway, somehow, there is that one or two guys who just get conned. It never fails!

Last year's gag got a lot of people because the gag was grounded in reality. It was a little too real for some people. It was me trying to make an April Fool's gag that people didn't expect. Somehow, me quitting comics to become an actor for economic reasons didn't seem all that far fetched.

This year I take it up a notch, but at the same time, made the gag much more obvious. It's an elaborate gag that I put into motion weeks ago. I disappeared from most online sites I haunt like Twitter, Facebook, Plurk and most importantly, my main blog for around 10 days preceding April 1.

A few people started to notice that I was gone. One was worried enough to get in touch via the phone. One suspected that I was up to something foolish this April.

It's still early so it's hard to gauge what reaction I get this year. But it's the most elaborate gag I've pulled, and it's probably the farthest I will ever go. Most likely none will get conned, but it's nevertheless fun to have done it!
