How about that! The only way I can get my name in a story by Bill Monroe is on April 1. Way to go Bill! Oh well as they say, "any publicity is good publicity".

Just kidding Bill.

Well done everyone. Funny stuff!


We do have the power! If only I could find a way to truly make a difference. I've tried the usual tactics, but feel I /we need to crank-it-up several notches. Otherwise, looking at pics and shooting the bull gets old and is only selfserving. I'll rise to the challenge.

...anyway

I've been giggling about this for the past week. It's the first time in a long time, I've actually enjoyed doing web design, again!
I kept the mods in the loop, and assorted other writers, to do some of the input. Thanks to David King, Bill Monroe, Pete Morris, STG Rule, and BOE for contributions.
About the first of March, I start thinking of just what I could do... With all of the gossip on here, this seemed only fitting!
It was fun making the graphics! In fact, the whole thing was a kick in the pants. However, some people are actually taking it seriously, and writing to me, "WHAT HAPPENED??? ARE YOU OK?"

LOL... More than OK! I'm having a blast!

Jen

I opened Ifish jaut like I do every morning after I have taken care of my morning emails. I couldn't figue what was going on. I read several of the articles and then it dawned on me. I'd been had! April Fools.

Good one Jennie. I took hook line and sinker.

Knew it was a hoax right away when I saw the Jim Martin story.

1. There was no mention of beer or Jack Daniels involved :tongue:

2. Big fish have never been threatened by Jim Martin :grin:

From personal experience, I can think of several other much more likely ways for him to expire.
