Testimonials

So many wonderful ideas! My teenage daughter was blown away with all the cool stuff in it. She doesn't know what to try first. Thanks so much. I enjoyed doing business with you too.
~Rhonda G.

Over the Holidays I purchased (3400+ recipes) from you and today is the first time I've had a chance to look at it. I can't believe how awesome it is! At work I'm able to print all the pages (there's lots of them) and get the recipes I'm wanting. This is going to be so helpful when doing gifts for birthdays, holidays, etc... I just wanted to say thank you for putting it all together, but also, for making it so cheap. There are just so many great ideas and I've enjoyed spending the time this morning searching the recipes. Thanks again. Take care! ~Cindy S.

Oh My God.....kick ass recipes...got it and its wonderful....thanks again ...I am so happy you did an excellent job on this one.....kiss kiss hug hug....

Stallion Store's April Fools Guide

April Fool's Day - April 1st, 2004

"The first of April is the day we remember
what we are the other 364 days of the year."
~By Mark Twain~

April Fool's Poem

"The first of April, some do say,
Is set apart for All Fools' Day.
But why the people call it so,
Nor I, nor they themselves do know.
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment."
~Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)~

This verse is recorded in Poor Robin's Almanack in 1760 and echoes the general feeling about April Fools' Day before and since.

A popular day, but really only half-day, for traditionally, jokes have to be played before noon, after which the victim was entitled to turn the tables by shouting,

April Fool's gone past,
And you're the biggest fool at last.

April Fool's Traditions

All Fools' Day as it was called years ago was, is observed in many countries around the world.

England in the Lake District, an April Fool is a - 'April noddy'.

April noddy's past and gone,
You're the fool an' I'm none.

In Cornwall, an April Fool is a 'guckaw' or 'gowk', another word for cuckoo (a bird). If a child succeeded in 'taking in' another, he used to shout after him ~ "Fool, fool, the guckaw." On the other hand if the person resisited the trick, he would say ~ "The gowk and the titlene sit on a tree, You're a gowk as weel as me." Titlene refers to a hedge sparrow (a bird).

In Cheshire, an April Fool is a 'April gawby' or 'gobby or gob'.

In Christow in Devon, pranks had to be played in the afternoon. The day there was known as ‘Tail-pipe Day', because it was a custom to pin an inscription ‘Please kick me' to the coat-tails of an unsupecting victim.

In Scotland the day is known ‘Gowkie Day' or ‘Hunt the Gowk'.

In the Orkney Isles, the pranks are transferred to 2nd April, which is known as ‘Tailing Day'.

In France an April Fool is called a 'fish' - 'poisson d'Avril' - and it is the custom to send friends a dainty present made up in the form of a small fish.

April Fool Poem

Small April sobbed I'm going to cry
Please give me a cloud to wipe my eye
Then April Fool she laughed instead
And smiled a rainbow overhead.

April Fool Smile :-))

A: Because they just finished a 31-day March :-)

April Fool Weather Watch

expect good crops of corn and hay.

April Fool Fun Idea

Color The Milk
Choose a bright color of food coloring to add to the milk. Buy it in a cardboard container so nobody can see inside. Make sure you are around when they pour it on their cereal. *smile*

Mealtime idea
Serve lunch or dinner in reverse order, the dessert first, then the main dish, and lastly the starter/appetizer.
And serve some of the food items in different dishes to confuse them further

Office/Computer fun
Use a small post-it note and place it under someone's computer mouse (covering the ball on the bottom). When they go to use the mouse, it won't do anything! Remember to write "April Fool!" on the bottom.
