What? No April Fool's Day prank to catch my toaster oven on fire?

Nope, I have been "officially demoted".

Does this mean you are no longer employee of the month either?!?!?!?!?

My ongoing employment status will depend largely on the HR Director's sense of humor regarding today's upcoming Work Prank...

I am not hopeful.

:-D Awesome. I especially like the Finders Notes Required. I may just plant more and better boxes if people beg, schmooze, give me 5 out of 5 score, and put me on a pedestal.

Considering the merger will be complete by tomorrow, my guess is yes. We all know that mergers are never that smooth and there are usually tears involved.

If true that would explain why there are not moose antlers all over the place.

give me 5 out of 5 score

I have mixed feelings about that part of the changes made with the merger. I mean that just because people get their feelings hurt by not getting rated 5 on every box that they plant doesn't mean that GT should make them automatically receive a 5 rating. That will make every box a Purple Diamond and make the status totally useless. It's just like when every participant getting a 1st place trophy now days.

I'm sure that he's edited that out by now so that no one else complains about that change, but he shouldn't have put it in the list of changes in the first place. I guess that it is his web site though so he can make everything get a 5 rating if he wants. I'm sure Kelsung will have a problem with this change too.

You'll be relieved to know that the Office Prank went off PERFECTLY! Mayhem! Chaos! Gasps Galore! My employment status is, strangely, still intact.

More on this tomorrow (when photos and video are available)...

That is a contradiction of terms.

Nope, I have been "officially demoted".
Ryan says the merger is for "the good of the hobby" and as such, I guess Choi talked him into being "a little more responsible". Meaning, of course, "Don't let wassa fool around on our site anymore." They took away my feather...

Not really happy about that, but I've had a good run, and I appreciate that I have been able to have fun up to now. I probably won't be posting quite as much, since I suspect the "new Moderators" will not be as forgiving of shenanigans. And certainly, now, we have seen the last of "WassaQuest". And I doubt I'll get any more free calendars. sigh....

Even the funny post widget has matured into interesting posts...
:D >>> :|

I guess it really is time to grow up ::sigh::

There are rumors that you're looking to buy up geocaching.com as well. Any truth to that?

No, we're developing an alternative that we expect to take the world by storm and put them out of business.

Finally, so we can replace the sorry looking gcs with neat looking 'lettercaches'

Can you give us a hint about what this 'alternative' to geocaching is?

I shouldn't really say anything, but it's called 'lettercaching' and involves trading letters, numbers and symbols written on cards the size of LTCs. You try to find the necessary cards to spell out words or phrases and win prizes when you succeed.

Finally, i can dust off my Magellan eXplorist 300 and win a worthwhile prize

We know you're hopeful. Very hopeful. *nodding*

What's all this I hear about Letter boxing anyway? Who would want to hit an innocent little letter with their fist? And what type of person would pay to watch this happen in a ring?

It just sounds very cruel.

Emily, Emily, Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with "treasure-hunts" in parks, forests, and cities around the world. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by cracking codes and following clues. Small boxes are hidden in various locations--usually outdoors, though many are planted indoors as well--and the creator of the box will release clues so others can go out and find them later. No one is trying to punch a letter.

Panicked when I read the headline. Then I realized what day it was and I laughed. The only April Fool's joke that worked on me today! Good one.
