It’s been a while since I’ve written for Geeks of Doom, but when they posted something about needing Onion style articles for April Fool’s Day…. I couldn’t resist. Here is the link to the article:

BTW, the picture is of my son’s band, but the article is fiction. What can I say? I needed an image and…where else was I gonna find such an appropriate bunch of goofballs?
hilarious 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome Marissa! 😊
LOL! Did I understand the right way? The whole article is fiction? Great job, Marissa!!
Yes, it’s satire. Do you ever see those Onion articles? Maybe more of an American thing but their articles are all over Facebook. Anyway, this was meant to be in that style.
Oh, I see! No, I never got in touch with Onion articles… and I have to confess that I am barely on Facebook either. But I enjoyed your post anyway 😄
Oh, well here is there web site, in case you’re interested. Some funny stuff for sure but no pressure if you have no time to read…http://www.theonion.com/
Oh, that’s cool! I will take a look right now… it’s now or never… lol!
Just went there. That is too funny how they make it this all in news style. So funny!! That’s absolutely you too. I would love to read more stories like this by you, Marissa!
It may be written as fiction….but I bet across the country it resembles a lot of stories…. 😉
Ha, ha! As a rock n’ roll supermom, I can attest to that!
I was laughing at the names alone!!
Thanks Syl! Glad you enjoyed!
You’re welcome, Marisa! Very much so!
OMG, Marissa! ROFL! Auditory Vomit? The song names, the nicknames… “Megadeth is probably going to need a new drummer sooner or later”??? Holding my sides right up to the contact email at the end. Well done. Maybe you should do Heavy Metal Comedy.
Thanks Joan! That’s pretty much what our family band is! Glad you enjoyed!
Time to call The Tom “Digital Drums: Tom
In metal??? Never! But you would make a great addition to the band!!
The names are so funny! Oh the language of teens, I think they learn it on school 😀
Thanks Lana! I think they learn it from their parents…LOL
Very well done.
Thank you April!
Love a good April fools and this is a great one. Love the names…and I’m hoping someone sent an email to that awesome email address!!
Ha, ha! Thanks BB! My son and I were wondering if that email address actually exists!
Well, you already knew I was a fool! Hahaha 😀 I liked the way the subgroups of. Metal bands are so diverse and geeky sounding at the same time, like high school kids just trying to be cool. Mom going down into the basement with cookies sounded real as could be!
Sorry, I was really good in February and probably March but missed all of April. Now, if I do a few extra fake Cheesebergens votes, you’ll hear about it. 🎵🎉🎆🎸🎹
I’m glad you are back and reading and that you enjoyed this one Robin!
The names you gave everything – the band members, the songs – were awesome, haha. 🙂
Thank you!
Very, very funny….because it’s completely true.
Thanks so much! I’ve lived pretty close to that so…
