Actually did and will be doing stuff for April Fool’s this year, but why mess with tradition:
Eggs, toast, and a slice of bacon walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry... but we don't serve breakfast here."
A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please... and one for the road."

Will autograph today’s StudLife [p.7] for Pepsi. Or any form of caffeine, at this point.
We regret to inform you that, after careful consideration, Washington University in Saint Louis is unable to accept your offer of rivalry at this time...
Danny is a sophomore in Arts & Sciences and likes Pepsi. He can be reached via e-mail at dbravman@wustl[].

“Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat.
Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there.
Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there and shouting, “I found it!”.”
Found the intersection of classics and math, tinged by linguistics and history- and it’s overwhelmed by a mess of philosophy. Again. Naught to do but follow the cat outside into the night, along a path that hopefully will diverge before leading back to the same location the following year.
“A round of applause for Plato: let him be right today; he can be wrong on Wednesday.”

Team Sean Preston Spears Federline became effectively Team Sean midway through Trivia Night, taking second place behind a quizbowl first place team. (The third quizbowl team took fourth, denying a sweep.) Winning second place merited a $50 iTunes gift certificate... per *player*.
Our $250 pales next to the $500 in BestBuy gift certificates the A team scored.
[And now to TN, completing for mere glory.]

Know Your Schwamm, half and half:
{introverted, self-conscious, sympathetic, witty, accepting, reflective}
{glum, insecure, lethargic, cynical, embarrassed, withdrawn}
(Honorable Mentions: {mature (in the sense of hating immaturity), violent (in the sense of AngryDestructive)})
You clearly need to be less adjective.

Null day, celebrating with a haircut.
No connection.
(Today is the null holiday I created, celebrating to preserve what little festive momentum there is from Pi Day and the Ides of March through until St. Patrick’s Day. I’m still considering ideas for such details as traditions, rituals, and a decent name.)
