April Fools
I am sorry. I just could not come up with a really good April Fools prank for you.
I am not only letting you down, but am disgracing my family. My grandmother was the alltime April Fools Champion. Somehow she played it off so that my poor grandfather was caught unawares, yet again. One time she had him running down the street looking for imaginary thieves. I think he got about a block away when the date dawned on him.
Anyway, I can't come up with anything good, so you will have to make due on your own. Sorry.
I was going to post my tribute to Budweiser Beer (which is serious) only to leave you guessing, but thought better of it. I will explain why this underrated beer deserves a closer look later on, preferably when I can get my hands on some good caviar, which is the perfect match for ice cold Budweiser.
I thought of writing something to the effect of "well, when it really comes down to it, you can't taste the difference between factory farmed tomatoes in March and vine-ripened, organic heirloom tomatoes in September," but realized that the patently absurd does not work.
Maybe next year.
