KatFrench says
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.

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. π Thanks, Brian!

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?

Janelle v says
lol- that was quite clever!
James Chartrand - Men with Pens says
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.
Robert Bruce says
Radical.
Janice C Cartier says
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…
James Chartrand - Men with Pens says
@ 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.
Janice C Cartier says
Bien Sur, Quebecois.
Sonia Simone says
James, you are a brave, brave fellow. π

Joseph Ratliff says
Brian…dude…
I just went on a Queen trip man!
Whoa…
Joseph Ratliff π
Claudia says
Oh a young Freddie mercury. What talent and dead like Jim Morrison.
What’s up?
James Chartrand - Men with Pens says
@ 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!
BG says
If this is an april’s fool joke, it really sunk with me π It’s not funny to imply illness/death. IMVHO.
Chad says
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.
Sonia Simone says
You could always swing over to my blog for a squeaky alternative that’s so earnest you may barf!
Chad says
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
Lisa Gates says
Oh you cynics…you think Brian’s kidding?
Chad says
Of course he is…this is his post from last April Fools: https://copyblogger.com/the-greatest-link-attraction-strategy-ever/
Brian Clark says
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. π
Lisa Gates says
I’m just pulling my tongue from my cheek.
Gotcha!

KarloPinoyBlogero says
Oh darn, you got me there. Lols.
Raja Sekharan says
That was evil Brian π
Prabu Rajasekaran says
@Brian ‘Not-so-funny’ Clark
Jokes like these are not for the faint-hearted. And there are faint-hearteds like me reading this blog.
