    Oh, no. This doesn't touch the Michael Mejido thing for elaborate. Not even close. That was a week-long prank.

    One thing I think we learned is that there are a lot of premies using the non-premie skin. I had to switch from my beloved premium gray to see all the fun.

    I've said this a couple times around here today, but my hats off to Huss! That was a lot of fun once I quelled my fears. Special kudos to Greg Seltzer and the Soccer365 story. That was baaaaaaadddd. :D

    Dang, I feel like such a newbie again. Can someone give me the 411 on this story? (I've heard it mentioned today, but am not familiar with the plot).

    Of course. But it won't be on April 1.

    I'm still in touch with Pearson. We laugh about the prank from time to time.

    I remember the year you made Sekrah and SoccerTV mods of all the forums.

    Of course, part of me is remembering what Mejido did and thinking "Retire the April Fools stuff on a high note. Quit while you're ahead." Nothing will ever hold a candle to "An Open Letter To Kevin Payne."

    See, when you have people who react like that, the joke doesn't even need to be that funny. I honestly was skeptical, then I remembered the lack of perspective of your average Big Soccer poster and knew it would work.

    I was well and truly had. And I even made a note to myself when I woke up yesterday that it was April Fool's and to think about everything twice.

    Damn.
