A Farewell
As you may have noticed, this blog is in a bit of a decline. Perhaps it's an inevitable result of the growing sense of familiarity I feel with you friendly internet-people, making me lax with my posts; perhaps it's because I've got other things to worry about. Regardless, it can only go on for so long. I quit. Like so many bloggers have done before.For me, it's been a good experience, and I hope it's been a good ride for you guys as well. Of course, since I won't be using the web space anymore, I'm open to suggestions for what to do with it - anyone need hosting? Obviously charity cases are preferred, though my old roommate has a stunning preliminary workup for "Florapolis: the center of the aquarium plant community". Little seaweeds and yellow fishy stuff like that. Send me an email.
[Updated 4/2/02: Look at the date on this post. Then read the first letter of each sentence. Then try to find the other clues - there's only two, and one is so lame it barely even counts, it's more of a so-brief-as-to-be-rude nod to the French.]

Gack! I'm keeping you on my sidebar for a while yet, just in case you decide to come back... Sigh. I'll miss your daily weirdness, really I will.

Hrmph.

Unexpected this is. And unfortunate. Miss you I will.

Wait a second! I just noticed the date on this post... April fool?
william · April 2, 2020 01:28 AM
This had better be an April's fool ... *sneer*
Rasmus · April 2, 2020 01:39 AM
No. No. No.

I occasionally wonder what I'll find to read when the many and varied students among my A-list must-read bloggers grow up and get lives and stuff. But I won't be in the least bit grateful if this turns out to be the start of the process of finding out.

Is this fooling, or is it not...?
francis s. · April 2, 2020 09:32 AM
Yes, it was fooling... I'm not that surprised no one caught the crostic (read the first letter of each sentence) but I hoped someone would get the anagram. *pout*
Next year, I'll try to be funnier, I promise ;)

Cripes! You're the only person to catch me with a 4/1 manuever like that. (At least I *think* you're the only one...)

Does it worry you at all that nobody bothered to contradict "...this blog is in a bit of a decline."?
:P
G · April 2, 2020 10:53 AM
Bah... I hadn't even remembered it was April Fool's day. And no one did anything good. Bleah.
Kat · April 2, 2020 11:00 AM
*plots revenge*
First time in *years* I've fallen for an April Prank .. you little, you little.. kumquat!

duh

Kat, did you read the Register's spoof on AOL buying up blogs? I thought the "absurd corporate purchase" theme was a bit overdone this year, but this particular instance was just too precious for words. Kind of like cuddly crucified Easter bunnies.
yami · April 2, 2020 02:45 PM
Florapolis... I feel so stupid.
william · April 2, 2020 03:04 PM
"cuddly crucified Easter bunnies."
Got any pics? I can offer a pic of a crucified Winne the Pooh (if I can find it) in exchange.
Tinka · April 2, 2020 05:02 PM
The Onion does an annual Easter kids' page... crucified bunny, hoppity jesus.

Hee hee. Well, for what it's worth, the basic April Fools element didn't throw me, although I too failed to catch the crostic. Big pat on the back to you, though. You're very clever.
Hm. Maybe you need to trade in your current readership for a smarter (or at least more observant) crop...? ;-)
