    Default Favorite Cafe April Fool's Day News

    Here is a a link to past Mandolin Cafe April Fool's news:

    Just wondering what your favorite is. Mine was the Cabela's partnership with New Millenium to create a camo, carbon fiber mandolin that I fell for. (Two of my favorite hobbies are hunting and mandolin.) Having seen how camo is applied to gunstocks and other other items, a carbon fiber mandolin would be no problem. To this day such a mandolin is on my top 5 list (if and when I win the lottery).

    Anyone else notice the Bill Monroe tribute movie was directed by Mel Brooks? Spaceballs plus great mandolin music anyone?

    My favorite non-mandolin April Fools was the the article in the paper saying the $650 million lottery winner got hit by lightning in his backyard. I splorted my coffee on that one. The best in a long time.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.
