Which sense do you have in mind? The Stanley Cup playoffs would make the ice hockey sense relevant, but perhaps there's something going on in the cricket world I don't know about. Astral (talk) 12:25, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't watching this page for comments. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi each had just made a hat trick (in soccer/football) by scoring three goals in a single game, which is an exceptionally rare achievement, let alone to have two such events over a single weekend. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Have we got anything in mind for April Fool's? If not, we could move it to then... - -sche (discuss) 03:59, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I originally wanted to use (deprecated template usage) bazinga and had scheduled it, but Metaknowledge thought this was not an optimal choice, so I changed the word for that day to (deprecated template usage) jape. The meaning of floccinaucinihilipilificate doesn't strike me as especially April Fools-ish, and it's already been scheduled for tomorrow, and there have been less viable noms to work with lately. There's still plenty of time to discuss other ideas for April Fool's, though. Astral (talk) 19:12, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
