Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue
HELLO EVERYONE! It’s your six-in-one source of fun Floof Industries! April is starting it's month-long reign (Get it?) which means it’s time for the….
MONTHLY CHECK-UP TIME!
As you all know, the old proverbs say “April Showers bring May Flowers.” Our leader Ella Starburst learned this the hard way, when her trip to a farm got rained on! This didn’t stop her from running anyway, and being tortured by wind. We pray that April’s tides will not turn for you as it did for her! Anyway, enough personal stories!

OUR LMWAY!
(Last Month We Asked You)
Last month We Asked You: Who is the new substitute Easter bunny?
Here are your best answers!
Rogue Wilding said: The new Bunny is Cricket, and he’s hiding future magazines!
Similarly, Aqua said the new Easter bunny is the whole gang, and their handing out small magazines!
Soren Infinity Said: A Yeeting ferretgoat would give Yellow Snow for Easter!
Kitten said: The tooth fairy, who is giving out toothbrushes!
Spiffycat said: Ugly bird is the substitute, and he’s handing out Stinky Socks!
That’s it for our LMWAY! Now, grab your translator book, because our next section is…
FUNNY CAPTCHA QUOTES!
Firstly, Spiffycats CAPTCHA (Hiya fren!) Empyreal said “crux”. OBVIOUSLY, they meant HORCRUX Spiffy. How could you be confused? (Just kidding, it’s a long run.)
Soren’s little guy Boo has a THREEFER for us; Yyed, eeop, and kkid! What does this mean? Well, Yyed we have no clue, and kkid is kinda a word? But EEOP is the equal Employment Opportunity Plans!
And last but absolutely not least, Ted said Borp. How can you MISS THIS.
Well, that sure was fun! Now, for our next section, get ready to rumble with laughter, because it's:
APRIL JOKES!
If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
Pilgrims!
(Submitted by Summer)
Knock Knock!
Who's there?
No one; It’ a ding-dong ditch!
Great jokes, don’t you think? Anyway, now it’s time for our Month-related advice bit! This Month’s theme…
PRANKS!
The following have been submitted by Agent Winter
Fake sponge cake: Cut a square yellow sponge in half diagonally. Glue a piece of cardboard to one of the pieces, then glue the other piece to the cardboard so it looks like a slice of cake. Then frost it to cover up the cardboard. I tried this one on my mom once when I was little, and it totally worked.
- Put food coloring in a full, opaque beverage container. (I dyed some milk yellow once, and my dad freaked out XD)
- Draw a spider on a roll of toilet paper!
- Put tape over most of a faucet so that when someone turns it on, the water goes everywhere!
- Hide a phone/iPod/iPad/whatever in someone's room, then stream an annoying song really loudly. Hopefully the prank's victim will go crazy looking for it. (I haven't tried this one yet, I'm saving it for April Fool's day this year)
How to turn your sibling invisible:
1. First, alert everyone in the house to this trick, and tell them to act like your sibling is invisible.
2. Pick a spot in your house to take a picture of.
3. Take your sibling to that spot and tell them you will make them invisible. Put a blanket over their head, mumble some gibberish, and take it off. Then, act like you can't see them.
4. If your sibling wants proof, pretend to take a photo of them, then show them the photo you took earlier in that same spot and act like you took it just then.
(Submitted by Summer)
Finally, for the part that no one submitted answers for, It is time for:
CBer AWARDS!
We have two awards to give out, so let's get started!
The first award we’d like to give out is the Floof Industries Patience Award, for being very patient with Ella’s forgetful self, we award to...
SPIFFYCAT!
Okay, This is from me.
I am SO SORRY I FORGOT TO POST MY CHARRIE SHEET! HONESTLY! I forgot about an entire RP I reserved a spot for! But you didn’t start without me, or even let anyone else start! No, you waited a HECKIN’ LONG TIME, risking your thread DYING, because I forgot to post my Charrie sheet! I AM SO SORRY! AND THANK YOU!
Next, the Kindness Award, for going above and beyond for kindness, even farther than Floof, is...
SOREN INFINITY!!
So, let’s get this straight: You posted your own Compliment Thread, WITH A TWIST, on Chirp at Cricket. You required people to compliment FIVE PEOPLE, And ONE OF THEM had to not been complimented! You Honestly deserve this award: Honestly, it’s becoming more successful than OURS.
That is all for this Month’s monthly check-Up! Now for our LMWAY:
Rewrite this sentence: April__ brings May __.
Leave your answers in the comments below, And we’ll put them in when it’s Monthly check-up time!
Thank you all for waiting for this and an extra big thank-you to our contributors! Remember to put May themed things in the comments!
Here is what we’ll accept:
Important dates
May jokes
Tips to a Perfect Mother's Day
LMWAY answers
Funny things a CAPTCHA said
CBer awards!
Until next time, have a great life, friends.
Sincerely,
Floof Indust-
WAIT!
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOOWE-
As you all know, we at Floof try our hardest to get this Check-up in on time. However, with only one real person actually typing it out, and that one person having a lot of other things to do, it’s kind of hard, which can explain why this is coming later than the first one.
We’ve decided that there is only one way to solve this problem, and it’s an idea that has been forming before. With Big Hopes and Expectations, we at Floof are proud to say…
WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW RECRUITS!
(yay)
Of course, you will be just an employee, and you will have six bosses, two of which represent my left and right brain, three of which are CAPTCHAs, and only one is real, but hey, it’s Floof!
Your job as a Floof Industries employee will be to collect info. Important dates, jokes, all that good stuff. You can do it from all sources: friends, books, websites, anywho, just make sure if you use a website or book, you include that source. Your quota is at least three things in your category; if this is not met by the date of the next MCU, you will be fired. You can be re-hired tho.
The profit of joining Floof will be helping a twelve-year-old girl finish assignments on time, getting to tell other people you have a job,always getting your stuff into the MCU, A cool Floof-brand nickname that can serve as your location( if you have none), twenty pinecones,a chance to add and take away new parts of the Floof Industries, a bear hug, and a weird thing Ted found in the ground!
Here’s your submission template:

Yes you can apply for more than one. But remember the quota rule.
Anyway, thanks for listening to this post that’s so long, It sometimes does not load into the page! Reminder that even if you don’t work at Floof, you can still submit! This is just to help improve efficiency and decrease the work we have to do!!
Thank you for listening,
Floof Industries.

2. Make her coffee and ask what sweeteners she'd like. Use her favorite mug.
3. Make sure Dad got flowers.
4. Wrap up her gift with wrappings of her favorite color.
5. Take care of your chores without complaint. Let her relax.
