the worst April's Fools day i perpetrated on my wife was about 15 years ago when i called her while she was out of the house for a few hours, shopping in town ( i was on the road ) and told her our house was burning to the ground with all our pets in it....she was not impressed

Today in downtown San Francisco.

Saint Stupid's Day Parade: The Next Generations. Bishop Buzzy led the parade and repeated the stupid catch-phrases and parables. Bishop Joey rode with the Doggie Dinner Heads. Wavy Gravy was pushed along the parade route in a wheelchair with multiple changes of different colored clown noses. The unusual irregular assortment of top tier Bay Area weirdos turned out as always. Weather was unsettled, the times are very unsettled, and we are not going away.

 

The best one I saw was that Ben and Jerry's announced a new Goose flavor. Vanilla 

Or this one, "a murder mystery steeped in oat milk."

Rabbit Rabbit Fools!

April First is Saint Stupid's Day sponsored by the First Church of the Last Laugh. The church has only one wholy day a year, AND TODAY IS IT! Parade begins at the crack of noon at the Embarcadero, the foot of Market Street, San Francisco.

the XXXXVIIrd. Annual Saint Stupid’s Day Parade is happening. Noon, Wednesday, 4/1, Embarcadero Plaza , foot of Market, SF, Ca, earth, rain and/or shine!!! Bring socks for the s(t)ock exchange, pennies for the Banker’s Heart, losing lottery tickets for the federal reserve ,noise makers , costumes, signs . Attendance will be taken!!!

We will also tighten the lug nuts to keep Old San Francisco and Phil Dirt San Francisco snugly connected for another year.

Last I heard, parade disorganizers were looking for a big comfy chair so that Wavy Gravy can attend the proceedings with transport befitting his station. Be sure to bring your own free lunch, and join the crème de la crème of Bay Area freaks.

And by this time tomorrow my religious obligations will be concluded for another year.

 

Since nobody asked, I will tell you that the 47th Saint Stupid's Day Parade proceeded as prescribed, but even stupider than most years as nature rained on the parade! Bishop Joey, evolved into geezer hood, no longer walks along, rather his alleged grandson, Bishop Buddy (or is that Bishop Buzzy?} led the march for his 3rd year and recited the dogmas (and since I greatly suspect some Stupiders are also Discordians, catmas) at each Station of Stupid. Bishop Joey said since he is old and cool he got to ride the Doggy Diner Heads float with Wavy Gravy. Actually, Wavy was in the direct march, pushed along in a wheelchair by a sturdy fellow in the substantial rain. Wavy looked the legend that he is, a clown who has seen more than most people ever see, already outlived many contemporaries, and is about to turn 90 years old. I love that guy.

Anyway, the rituals were performed, including the Tightening of the Lug Nuts ahead of the Leap of Faith. We can all be assured that those lug nuts are good and tight and Old San Francisco and Phil Dirt San Francisco will remain snugly attached for another year.

Lots of chants, as always, including "No More Chanting!" "Get Back to Work!" and "It's Just a Little Rain!"

St. Stupid's Day (April 1, 2026) kicks off at Embarcadero in the rain! Where's Roarshock?
