In celebration of April Fool's Day I shared a true anecdote over at Monkey Goggles that I experienced while designing a catalog for the S.S. Adams prank and magic company- Feel free to check it out!
three months later I'll respond to these historic comments...
Todd- Ha, I'd love to see that too. Maybe someone will option the article for a film.
C S Adams- Brilliant! I wish I had known that word before I wrote the article!
Jon- That means a lot since it's at least the third time you've heard it.
blalock- I just heard that the combined weight of all the ants in the world is equal to people. Ant overlords indeed.
Megan- thanks so much for the encouragement!
designer t-shirts- Thanks! (unless you're spam)
Max- that is really great to hear. I'm honored. thanks!
Pixie- thanks so much, I look forward to checking out your blog too.
Dave- my prank seems to have made the ant situation worse around here. They are trying to have revenge this year.
Skizo- I'm so glad thanks
Mr. Stranger- Thank you! hopefully there will be more of it to read soon.
Anonymous- Thanks for noticing my absence! It's been WAY too long and hopefully I'll be back at it soon. This is what happens when a guy's wife breaks her ankle.
Looks like I just missed you. Got a couple of personal questions for ya :) 1. Are you married? 2. If not will you marry me? 3. If you are married, do you know someone who is just like you I could marry? 4. Do you have a facebook?
Wow, the new facebook marketing campaign is getting really aggressive.
Gen- I'm very flattered and very married. But if I ever start a waiting list I'll let you know. Thanks for your encouraging words and I'm glad you're enjoying the blog!
Now I want to see the animated film short of this story! Funny stuff!!
ReplyDeleteThis may be the first ever myrmecological practical joke ever performed in recorded history!

ReplyDeleteNice article, Kirk. It's about time someone stuck it to the ants!

ReplyDeleteHaha great post!
ReplyDeleteOnly occasionally do blog posts make me laugh out loud. Your anecdote did, and I'm grateful!
ReplyDelete(Now I'm imagining Edmund Gwynne and James Arness pranking the gi-ants of THEM!)
