strangetomatoDid 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.

It was so long ago, I don't really remember what it looked like. But I remember how we caught it -- it latched onto some crab bait (a slightly rotten chicken neck) and didn't want to let go, even when we lifted it above the surface. Tenacious little bugger! And it looked like it belonged on the bottom of the ocean floor, with some luminescent dangly thing hanging over its massive jaws. Cute.
