april fools with xkcd

I know he's going to do something. Last year going to xkcd.com sent you to Dinosaur Comics (having loaded all my comics in tabs at once, I didn't notice, alas) which I guess is funny? Anyway, I'm just going out there right now and saying I Know You're Joking, Munroe! can't pull that shit on me.

i bet it's going to suck.


update: wait, did he not do anything? did he just blow my mind???

  1. Ok... and? You've noticed that April 1st is tomorrow, and xkcd also updates tomorrow. I doubt you're the first.

    I just don't see why this post is necessary. It's not like Randall is the only person planning something....

  2. There's no need to tell race car drivers to hit the gas, either, but if Carl wants to throw some chum in the water before us sharks tear into some Randalfish, then he has the right!

    Or are you the EPA of "____sucks" blogs? If so, our license is at home, just give us a sec and we'll-- *tires screech, engine roars*

  3. I'm hoping for something nice and clever, but why do I suspect that he'll do something related to the time honored, time tarnished Rick Roll?

  4. I much prefer this version of the Rick Roll, but I doubt Randall is actually as Internet savvy as he pretends to be, and so he is probably unaware of the "with electronic sounds" meme.

    Nice. Then there's also this gem for the nerdier ones among us.

  9. Carl, I think this just happened to you.

  10. Huh.

    Like, the only webcomic I read that did anything for April Fool's day was Overcompensating (and Dinosaur Comics did one /about/ April Fool's day).

    I'm a little disappointed.

    In the meanwhile, well! I wrote a blog post about how I won the lottery and am very disappointed in my friends.

  14. What, I was on the forums that day (as I am every day...) and I didn't see anything...did everyone like, write something original instead of just "OMG I was just thinking about math GET OUT OF MY HEAD" and "funniest. xkcd. ever. i want to marry it"

    Amazing super powers: but who would check it on a wednesday?? there would be no new comic!

  15. Something about "echo chamber" inserted in the forum url, I think. Not sure how that's funny?

    Seriousy, who would talk about that "only everywhere"?

  16. But the forums are an echo chamber every day...
