Federal Relocation Arc

 * ... that in the event of a flood, some United States government employees might skip Noah's Ark and head straight for the Federal Relocation Arc?
 * ALT1 ... that, despite preparing for a variety of situations, many U.S. government leaders remain vulnerable to BOOBs?

 * Neither of these hooks appeared April 1? Who's in charge around here?  E Eng  23:27, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You are. WP is edited by people like you, not by some mysterious force. LavaBaron (talk) 00:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for cluing me in.  E Eng  03:58, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I live to serve. LavaBaron (talk) 05:14, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * How unsatisfying a life it appears to be, then.  E Eng  05:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC) That was mean of me, but you really need to quit talking down to people without checking out their experience.
 * you really need to quit talking down to people without checking out their experience - If you don't want to be talked down to, don't present yourself as a target with novice exclamations like "Who's in charge around here?" The onus is not mine to check dick size before responding to nonsense. LavaBaron (talk) 05:37, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it certainly didn't take long for that anxiety to reveal itself. This isn't the only time you've had trouble recently with the distinction between humor and non-humor -- I wonder if even now you understanding that I was complimenting you on the hooks. As I usually say in such situations: please do be my guest and have the last word now.  E  Eng  12:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * you may want to consider dialing it back to about a 7; thanks LavaBaron (talk) 13:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Date, length, and hook check out, but I'd like a citation for that acronym ;) Not to deflate a joke, but for the flood hook to work, there also has to be some indication that this protocol is used for natural disasters as well. Sarcastic banter collapsed. Intelligent  sium  00:17, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Intelligentsium thanks, kindly, for the review. I've added a source confirming the veracity of the acronym. LavaBaron (talk) 00:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg ALT1 Date, hook, and length good to go. This is fine for April Fools' Day, though you might want to have a more serious one unless you want to wait 11 months. Intelligent  sium  00:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm okay to wait - thanks again for your review. LavaBaron (talk) 00:47, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
