I can’t pinpoint it, but somehow, when April Fool’s Day falls on a weekend, it seems to blunt the whole concept. Seems like too much work to erect a hoax on a day off.

Maybe others feel the same way. I’ve noticed only a small scattering of media pranks: Some British silliness, and a bit of tired techie-Web spoofs. Yawn.

I did see some highlight from yesterday’s “The Best Damn Sports Show”. Tom Arnold and Michael Strahan got into a fake bitch-slapping fight, from the comfort of their set chair. Since I never watch that dreck, I guess I missed out.

Maybe next year’s All Fool’s Day will be livelier for me.
