If I’m not back again this time tomorrow, carry on.

You know, this is just further proof that it would be a good day to avoid my RSS feeds. And Twitter. And possibly all other human beings…
Have fun storming the castle.

April Fools!!! This is the 3rd or 4th April Fool’s post I’ve come across already this morning - no doubt, more to come!
#10 Deb Ng → 04.01.08 at 7:37 am
Bismillah! No! We will not let you go.
#11 Rebecca Laffar-Smith → 04.01.08 at 7:38 am
I love this song. You know, has actually been a pretty good day for getting through a few of my reader backlog. lol This entry for example took seconds to read and I could listen to the music while browsing elsewhere.
Thanks, Brian!

April fools is way too predictable anymore….
#22 Cynthia Morris → 04.01.08 at 8:24 am
I read the blog and recognized the lyrics - Queen! Ah, a man of my own era. Is Styx next? Or the Moody Blues?
I pulled an April Fools joke on my blog, too. Who knew it would be so fun to be foolish?
#23 James Chartrand - Men with Pens → 04.01.08 at 8:26 am
@ Mike - One does not ask when Brian leaves the helm. One takes.

It was a nice break. I needed that. Haven’t heard that song in yearrrrrrrrrrrrrs.
#29 john anthony → 04.01.08 at 8:58 am
Funny…I needed a little inspiration this morning and my favorite singer/band is playing ……
All the Best,
John Anthony
#30 Judy Rodman → 04.01.08 at 9:01 am
My mind couldn’t wrap its head around what it was seeing until it realized (finally) that its leg was being pulled…
Gotten.
#31 logosamurai → 04.01.08 at 9:17 am

#33 Janelle v → 04.01.08 at 9:34 am
lol- that was quite clever!
#34 James Chartrand - Men with Pens → 04.01.08 at 9:55 am
Hm. I just spoke with Brian, and it looks like the absence is real. Since I’m familiar with his blog and work, I’ll be stepping into Copyblogger’s shoes for the next little while.
That’s quite an honor, and I hope I have everyone’s support (and that you’re not too disappointed). Cheers.
#35 Robert Bruce → 04.01.08 at 9:57 am
Radical.
#36 Janice C Cartier → 04.01.08 at 10:42 am
I am such a sucker! Oblivious artist… Brian’s leaving???.. James in charge???…. it’s April? …returns to Pacific Northwest challenge totally had…but chuckling. And now that damn song is rocking round in my head…someone please, the antidote…
#37 James Chartrand - Men with Pens → 04.01.08 at 10:44 am
@ Janice - Well, thank you for your support. At least when you heckle me in the coming months, I know you’ll be doing it with love.
#38 Janice C Cartier → 04.01.08 at 11:02 am
Bien Sur, Quebecois.
#39 Sonia Simone → 04.01.08 at 11:18 am
James, you are a brave, brave fellow.
#40 Dana - The Writer's Blog → 04.01.08 at 12:11 pm
I think that Men with Pens fela aims to take over the world…LOL.
I also think I shoulda avoided the blogsophere and the twittosphere this morning
#41 Joseph Ratliff → 04.01.08 at 12:26 pm

I just went on a Queen trip man!
Whoa…

#42 Claudia → 04.01.08 at 12:43 pm
Oh a young Freddie mercury. What talent and dead like Jim Morrison.
What’s up?
#43 James Chartrand - Men with Pens → 04.01.08 at 12:45 pm
@ Dana - Considering the number of blogs that are being sold, being ditched or being given away today, I may just do that.
For now, I’ll settle for one legitimate takeover, though. Bear with me while I get my legs under me, everyone!
#44 BG → 04.01.08 at 2:13 pm
If this is an april’s fool joke, it really sunk with me
It’s not funny to imply illness/death. IMVHO.
#45 Chad → 04.01.08 at 4:10 pm
I’m amazed at how many people online have turned April Fool’s Day into Tell An Unfunny Lie Online Day.
Every blog’s April Fool’s Day joke I’ve read today today has been predictable and uncreative - we’re leaving, we sold the blog, or whatever else along those lines - pretty amazing considering all the bright minds out there.
#46 Sonia Simone → 04.01.08 at 6:00 pm
You could always swing over to my blog for a squeaky alternative that’s so earnest you may barf!
#47 Chad → 04.01.08 at 6:16 pm
The starbucks on the roof sounds funny - Darren’s was pretty good too - but my favorite was YouTube.com having all the feature videos link to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI
#48 Lisa Gates → 04.01.08 at 9:50 pm
Oh you cynics…you think Brian’s kidding?
#49 Chad → 04.01.08 at 10:20 pm
Of course he is…this is his post from last April Fools: http://www.copyblogger.com/the-greatest-link-attraction-strategy-ever/
#50 Brian Clark → 04.01.08 at 10:31 pm Copyblogger
It’s more fair to say I was making a joke about April Fool’s jokes. I was surprised you didn’t catch that Chad, because a lot of people higher up in the comments did.
I mean come on… I’m ditching the blog and telling everyone with the video for “Bohemian Rhapsody?” That’s farce, not a practical joke.
#51 Lisa Gates → 04.01.08 at 10:34 pm
I’m just pulling my tongue from my cheek.
Gotcha!
#52 KarloPinoyBlogero → 04.02.08 at 2:54 am
Oh darn, you got me there. Lols.
#53 Raja Sekharan → 04.02.08 at 8:42 am
