From the record All Fool’s Day.
The real Saints, prior to the departure of Ed Kuepper, were much better, but this is ok, and the record is a nice reminder, yearly, of our folly.

In ancient Greece, the first of April fell 12 days after the vernal equinox and was dedicated to gods Aphrodite and Dionysus. With this custom people wanted to "trick" one another and deceive the harmful forces. Its aim was the disinhibition & "blooming" of the spirit that coincided with the "blooming" of nature. Whoever succeeded would be lucky for the rest of the year.
So maybe today we should shoot uninhibited and take pictures as tricksters. Maybe we can be lucky for the rest of the year.
Today is my day! Oh, boy!
Today is our anniversary, boy did she have me worrying as I stood at the alter waiting.......
Thanks Helen, fun read.
One of my favorite April Fools day pranks was pulled off by BMW years ago. They ran a full page ad in a number of publications announcing their new sun/moon roof, claiming that it was so well designed by their German engineering team that you could have it open while driving in pouring rain, and you wouldn't get any water in the car, even if you stopped at a stop sign. Caused a big kerfuffle amongst the engineers I worked with at the time, everyone trying to figure out how this was possible. Turns out it wasn't. Ha!!!
