April 1st and Racing Legends/WSC

We're now a week away from April 1st, also known as April Fools day.
Should we establish some type of protocol for the inevitable 'Racing
Legends released!" posts?

-Is it permitted to make such a post on the March 31, or is April 1st
the accepted norm?
-What title would generate the most attention?
-Is it acceptable to post without a body?
-What are the acceptable responses for these clever, clever folks?
-Can we throw eggs if spotting one of these shucksters in public?

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm looking forward to the RL
hijinks of 2003.

Personally I'd be extremely offended if there were any jokes made of RL on
April fools day.  My favoured protocol regarding April fools day posts on RL
is for there to NOT BE ANY POSTS MAKING FUN OF RL AT ALL come 1st April!

There's a specific hour on April 1st, where everybody on the globe is in the
same day.  That's the time slot required ;-)

Breaking news! GPaL = WSC!

Well, you at least need a head.  Ok oerhaps not, sometimes some post seem to
be from people who have none ;)

"it's no GPL"

Not eggs, teddy bears!!!

Ouch; before you know it, we'll be posting April Fools' jokes in
february. Here, X-mas starts right after Easter, it seems sometimes.
;-)

Chris West abducted by aliens! Brings back superior technology!

I'd say not. Typing without a body seems very X-Filish.

I'm guessing you'll be extremely offended, then...<g>

   Surely we, the enlightened denizens of RAS, can let one day in April
pass without resorting to such childish low-brow cretinish behaivor...
   Come to think of it...he most likely WILL be offended.  :)
