Strangetown Extras: April Fish!

[strangetomato]

Did you know that the practical joking element of April Fools Day was most likely started in France? In France (or French cultures, like in French Canada) the person being fooled is referred to as a poisson d'avril, or April fish. This originally had something to do with the zodiac, and the French traditionally celebrated April Fools Day by placing dead fish on the backs of their friends. (No, I'm not making this up!)

Fish fight!




Johnny: You're going down, Grunt!

Ripp: Ooooof!




Johnny: Oh, NICE! A direct hit!

Ripp: Owwww! Watch the face, Johnny!

Johnny: Fish in the face!




Ripp: I'll bet you'd fucking love that, huh, Johnny? A big face full of fish?

Johnny: Don't get it in my mouth! I'm a vegetarian!

Ripp: That doesn't count, John.




Johnny: Face your defeat, Ripp. You're no match for me.

Ripp: Yeah, you have all the fucking skills, Johnny. Nobody slings a fish around quite like you do.

Johnny: Good workout! Now I don't need to go for a jog.

Ripp: Why jog when you can play with giant fish?




Ripp: Another challenger, hey? You'll be sorry, Phi...

Ophelia: Oh, we'll see about that!

Ripp: *gets pummeled*




Ripp: You call that a fish slap?! You hit like a girl, Phi!

Ophelia: So do you!

Ripp: You'll pay for that remark!

Ophelia: Bring it on!




Ripp: It's easy to hit such a nice, round target!

Ophelia: Hey! Watch it!

Ripp: *thinking* Such a sweet, sweet target...




Ophelia: It's not THAT big!




Ripp: Nothing wrong with a little junk on the trunk, Phi. Nothing at all... *stares*

Ophelia: You're an April fool alright. Get your face out of there!

Ripp: This is my favourite day of the year. Fuckin' sweet...




Ophelia: You're in for it!

Ripp: Oh, that's right! Punish me.








Oh, and I almost forgot... the mod that turns your pillow fights into fish fights can be found here.

OMG... this is so funny! I think I'm going to d/l the fish and then take out my mod for no auto pillow fights... and then wait and see if and when my oldest daughter notices when she plays! :-P Wouldn't that be a hoot??? I already woke her up by saying school was closed for the day... APRIL FOOL!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Yes I'm easily amused, lol.

Sorta OT... I commented back to you from my LJ re: Simstorytellers and how to post there. I seem to be having a bit of trouble (blush). Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Hugs

It would be very funny if you did that. She'll have such a WTF moment. *snicker* (And I love auto pillow fights - they're so funny!)

Your daughter must have loved you for that joke. :P

Oh, I'm sorry about that! I must have missed it. An easy way to do it would be to click on "post" from your own journal and then select simstorytellers from the "post to:" menu. It should be included there if you are a member.

(I think part of the problem is that our new layout does not show the personal navigation bar right now, and the "post to this community" link is usually in that. We're looking to fix that soon.)

I hope that helped!
