natalie · 1 year ago

is this a joke? as in april fool's?

'cause it's not funny.

not. one. bit.

rob reed · 1 year ago

funnier than if the blog post read "Asaalam Alechem"

Rachel · 1 year ago

NO! Say it isn't so!

I believe you. Just as much as I believe Brody's going to jail for 12 days. (God, I hope that's a joke on his part...)

Chad Maag · 1 year ago

Seriously - you're going to have to try a _lot_ harder than this, give us at least some credit.

vagabondrunn · 1 year ago

So honestly, it's one thing to joke about someone being hurt, or to hurt me in a joke, but to even joke about taking away Ragamuffin is not funny.

Not to mention, we ALL know you cannot do it. You are a blog-a-holic, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Can't wait for your next post my friend.

larissa · 1 year ago

who cares.

Mocha · 1 year ago

It's about stinking time! Now finally I might be able to get some work done around this joint. Oh, can I have your traffic then, since you wont be using it? PLEASE :-D (see you tomorrow)

dionicio · 1 year ago

HAHAHA....That was a good one, you should have seen the look on my face when I read the closing remarks. You got me, I have been april fooled.

Think about it people, if it was closed you think you would be able to comment?

What a kidster..

dionicio · 1 year ago

Any ways, why do I like this blog so much? I check for new posts at least 10 times a day.....Crazy I know

This is a good april fools joke. but i don't think it beats the one i got from my boss! get a message on my table to call 'A.Lion' on a certain number. I call the number and ask for 'A.Lion' only to realise the number is the Sydney zoo!! good times!

I'm calling BullShit on this one... That's right I said it and if anyone accuses me of foul language I'll say April Fools and change it to Bullcrap...

Micah Foster · 1 year ago

that's ok, we can still follow your every move through like 30 different ways of communication

callmetravis · 1 year ago

at first i said crap. Then is said..CRAP.he got me.

Marnie · 1 year ago

You have to do something somewhat believeable for it to be a April Fools Joke. I like how you can still post although its "closed". Step it up a notch or I will sign Seanna up for a free bible too.

sarah · 1 year ago

okay...being a single mother, this was my little vice during the day that made me feel normal. i was SO sad, then realized after reading others posts that it is indeed april 1. this SO better be a joke (a very mean one at that). offended one too many? i am offended that you would even think the thought of shutting it down!!!

Skypilot · 1 year ago

I guess the joke is on you, because I know you are going through withdrawl as I write this. How long, O'Lord, can he last? Can he carry it even 24 hrs?

erin · 1 year ago

i agree with the above comments haha!! but it is so cute that you are so into this april fools things and went all out to make this page :)

Adam · 1 year ago

Today in blogdom, cheers went round the internets as a long time blogger otherwise known as Ragamuffin Soul shut down his site. Productivity went through the roof in many parts of the country as people no longer had to tab over in their browser away from the site when their boss walked in.

The day will no longer be called April Fool's and will heretofor be remembered as Loswhit Day.

A moment of silence.

Michael Harrison · 1 year ago

Through my tears and heartache I now understand that it really is April 1st. Only one time before have I been the fool, such a fool. It was some 20 years ago. Carlos, the grief I felt from the first reading will only be taken care of when you come to our church to lead worship, just once. Maybe I will laugh after the tears dry...
PS - loved the last BODADDY video. Thanks!

Brad Bretz · 1 year ago

Carlos did seem down today.
Something about puppy dying and blogging is useless. I tried calling him but... he just seemed, not himself. Normally in creative meetings he has like 15 ideas. Today, he had 11.
Weird.

alexsandra · 1 year ago

Maybe it's for the best.
I was at the watercooler at work and my friend had watched the link from my blog to the boodaddy #6. She asked me if ragamuffin and his wife had split up cuz he was on his own. I promptly said oh no she's just in Cal. at a wedding....
and I said... why do I know so much about these people from Atlanta????
Cold Turkey.
It's better this way.
We'll miss you.

Reid Greven · 1 year ago

No kids, it's gone...

Sitting beside him today in meetings I could smell sorrow and pain on his breath...

It was either sorrow and pain or a 100 calorie pack of Chips Ahoy - they smell the same.

Marcelo · 1 year ago

Hey guys... this this is serious. I've just met Carlos at Buckhead Church. He quit the church to work full time with the Drive Conference!!! Man... you'll be truly missed!

I guess I should've stopped by your office when I was over at the Wachovia Bank next door, getting cash for the toll ride on 400 up to I-285.... Maybe I could have smacked some sense into you in person. :) (and maybe I could have also avoided the hour I spent just sitting behind the protesting trucks on I-75 an hour outside Chattanooga....That sucked too.)

Dude, you gotta come back. The Internet is no fun without you.
