Someone visited this place tonight (or, technically, Wednesday night) via the following search string cheese:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv1-&ei=UTF-8&p=things+to+say+on+april+fools
Amazing, that I come up as #1 in that search (I am so proud), 'cause, like, I'm not saying anything today. At least not here.
So if I'm not saying anything, who is ?
Well, YOU are. That's right. YOU. You see, all day today, and only today, I am opening up comments on this post only, so you can say something. And in keeping with the spirit of this very important holiday, I encourage you to make a fool of yourself. But don't be a dick about it, or I will be forced to remove yours, even if you are not so equipped.
Remember, though: I am only keeping the comments open today. Don't get all excited, thinking the commenting feature which I disabled starting 1 December 2002 is making a comeback. It's not. So if you don't speak today, well, forever hold your peace, your piece, and know you are a fool.
UPDATE (2 April, 12:21 a.m.): April Fool's! The comments will remain open through Friday! April Fool's!
fresh-baked at 12:00 AMI just couldn't resist posting again. After all, this may be the only chance I have for the rest of my life. I don't have anything to say, but boy does it feel liberating to be here in this comment window. Have a great weekend!
Offered by: christine on April 3, 2004 1:19 AMYeah, what Deb said.
Oh, jeez, I'm such a follower except when I'm leading or walking side by side. I guess I'm not much of a follower anyway, huh.
Offered by: Enigma on April 2, 2004 8:05 PMSomething foolish?
OK. So if Donald Duck spends all the time in his cartoons, with a jacket, but no pants, why the hell does he cover his arse with a towel when get gets out of the bath? Furthermore, why the f*** does he take a bath? He's a duck! They live in water.
And another thing, it ISN'T reality TV, if appearing on it involves you eating worms or some equally bizzare thing. If it really was reality TV, they'd be eating burgers or pizza.
Offered by: Max on April 2, 2004 5:43 PMYou have dazzled me with your brilliance for months. You're fabulous!
Offered by: Elissa on April 2, 2004 5:28 PMWhat? This is quite an interesting development. I am gone for one day and look what happens. I miss something incredible. Oh well..my fault.
Offered by: Amanda on April 2, 2004 4:41 PMYour site is fabulous! I love your writings, your drawings, your photos, everything. Spending some time in the Jodiverse is always a high point of my day. Thank you!
Offered by: Julie on April 2, 2004 4:13 PMAfter your bleeding incident, shouldn't we emulate you and Carrie on?
(By the way, drinking your own blood doesn't remove your vegan status; You'd have to consume your flesh, ans if you were able to eat yourself, you'd be very flexible and no doubt able sell the video in the fetishist underground.)
Offered by: Thomas on April 2, 2004 2:26 PMAhhh. I see you are all playing very nicely. I must say I am very proud.
Carry on!

Offered by: Jody on April 2, 2004 12:37 PMWhahey!
So nice to meet you dear heart - at last :)
I make a fool out of myself every day--does that count?
Offered by: Adoresixtyfour.com on April 2, 2004 10:25 AMI'm late, as usual, and glad you're keeping it up till Friday. (Did I just say Keeping It Up?!)
So I managed to make a fool out of myself on April 2nd too. Yay me!
Really, I wish you'd leave comments up all the time, too. Sometimes I just want to say something. Like the time when Taxi was all upset about matador class and I wanted to send him some words of wisdom & comfort. (I can't remember them now.) Or when one of your food pictures looks tasty & I've not eaten yet. Or when you talk about some hairy guy at the gym and I want so share MY hairy guy story.
And I'm insanely jealous that I don't get comments on my website. I get hits, but no chatty Cathy's. Sigh.
Offered by: Kim Wells on April 2, 2004 10:23 AMYour shoes are untied.
Offered by: Sarah on April 2, 2004 9:32 AMyahoo, i feel lucky!
Offered by: Carrie on April 2, 2004 9:17 AMWow, comments. This reminds me of that scene in the Purple Rose of Cairo where all the actors come off the screen. It's like a whole new alternate universe without rules has opened up. Okay, I've had too much coffee. . .
Offered by: Graham Lester on April 2, 2004 8:47 AMWhat Kyria said. She's the second-wisest person you know.
Offered by: Nils Ling on April 2, 2004 8:14 AMJodi. Jo-di. Jo. Di. Leave your comments uuuuup.
Offered by: Kyria on April 2, 2004 8:08 AMJesusfuckingchrist! No wonder you turned off the comments!
I admire you SO much more now. Once again, you were right.
Offered by: Thomas on April 2, 2004 7:28 AMI really like your site....but who are you? Have I missed the "about" section somewhere?
Offered by: Michelle on April 2, 2004 7:14 AMIt's too early for me to be witty or interesting. Just want to say hello.
Offered by: Houston on April 2, 2004 6:26 AMI got nothin'. I will offer, however, a lewd wink and admire your newest footwear. Dahling, they are *too* divine.
Offered by: Tanya on April 2, 2004 2:53 AMAs I wrote upon the great wall surrounding His Graceland mansion in 1995, so shall I write now:
Tess was here. Finally.
This was much cheaper than the three dollar magic marker I purchased to write upon The Wall. Thank you for that.
Offered by: Cranky Chick on April 2, 2004 12:38 AMAm I still the PA around here? :)

Offered by: sleeping pills on April 1, 2004 5:37 PMOn behalf of Georgie Porgie and others similarly situated, consider yourself served.
Offered by: One resourceful lawyer on April 1, 2004 5:34 PMIt hurts when I pee.
Offered by: john on April 1, 2004 5:30 PMJodi - you make me happy. Like a bowl of edamame after a few too many martinis. You make my heart warm like a few shots of Makers Mark. You make me feel romantic and silly like a couple glasses of wine and a one night stand. You make me feel that the first step is admitting I have a problem.
Offered by: hot toddy on April 1, 2004 4:21 PMJodi, the one day I am speechless you enable comments? The world is SO SO cruel!
Offered by: sally on April 1, 2004 2:43 PMI don't have time to leave comments here. I'm too busy shopping for new cropped pants. Especially in pink polka dots.
Offered by: sugarmama on April 1, 2004 2:30 PMProve that I'm a fool, eh?
I've heard that a fool and his money are soon parted, yet I have my funds.
I've heard that there's no fool like and old fool, but at 33, I'm not yet too old.
I've even heard of tomfoolery, yet I go by Thomas.
My sole proof is that given by Elvis, when he testifies that "wise men say, 'only fools rush in'"; Jodi, in a similar fashion, I can't help falling in love with you.
Thus concludes my "shout out" to "mah GURL on da'East SZYDE!"
Offered by: Thomas on April 1, 2004 2:10 PMI believe this number of comments has passed beyond "group of admirers" and is fast approaching "wide-spread, dedicated following". And I think you know what Yoda would say, my darlin' ...
Offered by: Nils Ling on April 1, 2004 1:33 PMI love you more.
Offered by: christine on April 1, 2004 1:10 PMNo comment. But I do have a bottle of Manishevitz with your name on it. We'll drink something nicer though. Much nicer.
Can't wait to share precious moments with you again soon.
Offered by: bob on April 1, 2004 12:55 PMHow about a refreshing pun? Everybody loves puns! Riiight?
Acupuncture is a jab well done.
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
What's the definition of a will? (It's a dead giveaway.)
If you don't pay your exorcist, you get repossessed.

Oh, did I say *a* pun?...well, isn't it your lucky day!
Muahahahahaaaa. ha.
Offered by: Jordan on April 1, 2004 12:50 PMOh, happy, happy day! Comments from the peons again!
Offered by: zuchris on April 1, 2004 12:42 PMOh, happy, happy day. Comments from the peons again!
Offered by: zuchris on April 1, 2004 12:40 PMI like it better when the comments are off.
People sound like idiots when they leave comments.
Except for me. I am very smart and interesting.

Yeah, I know quotations are lame, but clearly Ms. Jodi has the entire blogosphere intimidated into aphonia...

Offered by: Scott on April 1, 2004 11:26 AMWell, Jodi
It sure feels good to be able to comment in the Jodiverse once again, even if it is only for this one, somewhat less than auspicious occasion.
Thanks, Jodi!
Signed,
Long-time visitor, first time in a long time commenter,
I cant really make a fool out of my self, but I can share a little diatribe about the best way to make a man freak out at 7 AM.
Stick a raisin in the end of his tooth paste tube.
When he attempts to brush his teeth, the feminine scream that escapes the bathroom is priceless.
Although I suppose I will be paying for it later tonight. Lord only knows what he has planned in retribution.
Offered by: Traci on April 1, 2004 11:09 AMJodi darling, you are far too fabulous for these plebes. Even me. *smooch*
Offered by: Eyre on April 1, 2004 10:47 AMOh wow, all this time reading and never being able to comment and now it's open for one day only and I'm completely witless today. Ok, I'm completely witless most days but I can dream can't I?
Offered by: R3n33 on April 1, 2004 10:21 AMHi Jodi!
Offered by: Michelle on April 1, 2004 10:12 AMHmmm, let's see, should I comment about religion or politics, or make inappropriate sexual innuendo? It's so hard to choose. I mean, she's shutting down the comments again after today anyway, so I might as well go for broke.
Ok, how's this? I'm in favor of gay marriage because I get turned on by two women doin' it, and anybody who disagrees is a Bible-thumping moron!
Just kidding everyone...except about, well, you know, the two women thing, but that probably went without saying.
Offered by: tim on April 1, 2004 9:47 AMYippee... an opportunity to comment! But now I have nothing to say! Darn.
Offered by: Kris on April 1, 2004 9:29 AMI love you.
Offered by: chris on April 1, 2004 6:45 AMI have absolutely nothing witty or clever or worthy of your comments to say, I just wanted to be part of the fun!
And I KNEW you'd be the first one to tell me the reasoning behind the cost of pine nuts. I swear I'd have looked it up eventually... ;)
Offered by: Renee on April 1, 2004 1:12 AMSurely if I were a fool I would not be reading your truly fabulous site?
On the other hand, I would have felt foolish emailing you just to tell you that I absolutely adored the exquisite picture of the bug you so heroically rescued... ;)
Offered by: sarah on April 1, 2004 1:01 AMHow democratic! Next, you'll have a plebiscite concerning your layout. From there to moderate socialism, and eventually a glorious Marxian revolution in which everything joyful is tossed out, save your shining face, then centered at the top, looking down scornfully at all us equalized peasants.
But I digress.
Offered by: G-Fry on April 1, 2004 12:33 AMJodi's allowing comments? Ha! I'm not fooled, not for a minute. Oh, it all looks plausible, sure. But I just know I'll go to type in something witty and urbane and zzzzip she'll pull the rug out from under me. I ain't kickin' that football, Lucy. You can't fool me. Not again.
Offered by: Nils Ling on April 1, 2004 12:21 AMI'm postin' just so I can say I posted!!! Hope your day is bright!!!!!
