A big thanks to all the fools on this board

I tip my hat to those of you in charge of the April Fools changes on the board this weekend - very fun and very clever!
I particularly love the little clickbait tags under each board.
Plus, I really needed a new, beautiful avatar, so thanks for that, too.

The best part is seeing the board members getting into the spirit of the occasion. Thanks everyone!

This always takes extra work by the Admins, not to mention the insane creativity involved, and they do it with such glee! Very very fun, everyone. Thanks for all the zaniness.
Until next year!

every one of us contributed something to the overall effort. We had a lot of fun creating this year's April Fool, and it was great to see some folks play along.
Every year, when we start planning, we realize we've set a very high bar from previous years, and we're not sure we can come up with something that will be funny (and maybe fool a few people) without being insulting.
So thanks back to everyone who joined in the fun!

Whatever 'normal' is, lol. 
However, I'm up against an uber-mega-massive deadline early next week and it's been all work and no play for me. I'm shooting to do it this weekend as a break from RL.

You're not going to make me give up my avatar, are you? It has become *precious* to me...
Hope real life settles down a bit for you, Altaira!
