Tweet Soviet April Fool's Day

[Mike Gebert]

Just wanted to store this somewhere, for the historical record...

It was a great one, Mike. You really did it up well.

Just out of curiosity, did any humourless Commie-baiting yahoos take it seriously and give you grief?

Like the great comedian she is, Greta nearly topped your entire elaborate hoax with her simple one-liner about the new Five-Week Plan.

All in all, a grand and glorious achievement. Your official Order of Moscow Heroes medal is in the Crackerjack box.

Watch out, I'll give you the same answer Stalin gave Lyubov Orlova.

"Sky Full of Bacon Goes to Latin America" sounds like a film in a series. Like "Mexican Spitfire Out West."
