Well, it fooled me. Shame on you, Saeed! Taking aqdvantage of an old man! I faithfully answered each question. (Reminds me that on April Fool's Day, when I was about 10 years old we would call up local tobacco stores and ask: " Do you have Prince Albert (a pipe tobacco)in a can?" After hearing the afformative we would say:" "Well, why don't you let him out?" -laugh hysterically and hang up. I hope,Saeed, you have become sufficiently mature not to do that.(Damn!, but it does annoy me that I fell so easily for the gag)

My favorites over the years were the ones where AR was going to a pay system, and there was a menu to select from with nomad, bedouin, sheik, mullah etc., with a certain number of views and posts allowed based on your paid membership level. Then the post 9-11 'we are being shut down by the feds and all information on members has been subpoenaed'....I admit for about 5 seconds I was taken by that one. But not since. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

Fortunately we are a day ahead here in NZ so it is the 2 April here when I logged on this morning and as I got cought yesterday I was all ready for you after last years pay per view trial.
Ya, You got me too. I started a new post complaining (not really complaining but a statement) about a certain Poorlitical (spelling is correct in my opinion) individual currently residing in the White House here in the U.S.A. (But don't get me started on that). Good joke though! I'm glad I'm prior service and don't have to call him my Commander in Chief.

we used to call the corner grocery store and ask if they had pickled pig's feet. When the butcher said yes, we told him to just keep his shoes on and no one would find out!
I'm dying to read what some of those taken in by this actually wrote in for responses! I was just cracking up thinking to myself that if anyone here seriously wrote in any names for the question 'names of friends in militia' or responded to the 'unregistered guns' question, well, man, they don't make militiamen like they used to! Didn't even have to threaten with jail time or even ply them with booze; they just folded like a wet dishrag in order to remain on AR! Damned hilarious.

Originally posted by DRG: 381 actually replied to the survey.
Some truthfully.
Some quite humorous.
I'll try to put together a top ten list this coming weekend.
And to those that asked, every one is digitally signed with the submitters IP address!!!!
Comparing it with the AR log is quite enlightening.
Nothing is anonymous on the web.
Don
Right, but what gets me is that some would actually respond (the ones who were really serious). That to me is a seriously frightening, if hilarious, statement in and of itself! Can't wait to see the donkey list, er, what the results were like.

Well, I bit hook,line and sinker. The sad thing is that ATF would require this info if they were allowed: hell, they still think that they were correct in Waco!

You won't have to wait to see the name of at least one "donkey". I faithfully answered each question. Hey! I'm proud of the fact that despite the fact that I knew of a certain Bosox fan, I didn't "give him up" as a member of any militia. (Hmm! You are from MA. and didn't those guys make a bit of a fuss once?) Yes, I'm shocked that I bought the gag -right on its face. My only excuse is that since what has happened in the country since the November '08 election has left me almost prepared to answer anything,anytime. (A couple of Canadian Club shots may also have had something to do with it)

I almost deleted the bookmark! GOOD ONE!
