The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHello, Democratic Underground. I'm Mister Scorpio's wife posting for my husband.
I've never written anything on this program before. My husband always said nice things about all of you. He let me know that you are all his friends.
Unfortunately, I have some bad news.
I'm very sorry to tell you all this, but he won't be able to to post his annual April fools joke this year. He asked me to tell you that and that he's taking a nap on the couch. One of his favorite things to do.
He said that he might give you something later when he wakes up. If he can stop being so lazy. I have to vacuum.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Have a nice day.
Bye.

(46,064 posts)Usually when someone posts for one of our regulars it's because something awful has happened to said regular. At least,you put "April Fool's" in there to clue me in.
Bad Mr. Scorpio.

(43,226 posts)Why should we believe you? How do we know you are Mr. Scorpio's wife? How did you login, or get to use his computer? Is he all right? What have you done to him? This just seems a little to casual and off-hand to be true.

(12,661 posts)He should at least have his laptop with him and refresh the screen to make sure he doesn't miss any emails or "chat messages" while he's on the couch or in bed.
Hell, at this week's Monday morning department MS teams meeting, one of my guys was on his work smartphone while apparently taking a long hot shower. It was raining, so he thought could fake it when he had to talk.
Mr. Scorpio has to at least go through the motions. He's being a slacker.

Are we so jaded by damn fools flaunting their derangement that there's no room for good old prankish humor?
And thank you Mrs. Scorpio for honoring this day!!
