Got up on Tuesday and started auto-piloting my way through my workday breakfast routine. Opened the box of eggs in the fridge and found myself staring uncomprehendingly at....

April Fools 2014

The wheels turn slowly in the morning. I found myself wondering if I might have forgotten that it was actually Easter (no, can't be that. If it were Easter I'd be at Minicon) and finally remembered that it was April Fools Day. I laughed heartily and then commenced looking for the real eggs. Found them and proceeded to the frying pan. Lifted the cover and found...

Well done, Thorin.

Excellent. This is the sort of April Foolery I appreciate because it's just silly and harmless and fun.

Yes, exactly. Thorin excels at this. His tricks are never mean or messy or even anything that would make you late for work. They always make me laugh.

One time he set up the stereo to endlessly repeat "Fool on the Hill" (and it took me quite a while to figure out why that song seemed to be running in my head. I'm not too alert before my morning coffee). Another time he replaced all the substantive content in the Sunday paper with sports sections (knowing that the first thing I do when I open up the paper is discard the sports section).

Very cute.

A person can get six pounds of Gummi eggs for around thirty bucks. I'm glad he didn't get that much. :)

Awesome!

The wonderfully colored eggs, are those actually salt & pepper shakers? I think I'm seeing holes in the tops.

They look to me like they might have been strung together for some sort of Easter ornament.
