MCU Prep -- October
Here's the prep thread for the October MCU, as promised. Rora did a great job hosting for the September issue, but we were really short on time, and didn't have all the submissions.
Let's try to have the LMWAY & Advice Column questions out by the 15th so we can post a thread asking other CBers for their submissions. :)
Also, I can host this month, if that's okay with everyone else! :D

:( Sorry, pangolin!! I'm kind of pressed for time and I'm not really allowed on the internet by myself, so I'm afraid I can't do important dates after all. But I could do quotes if that's okay!

I'd love to do important dates if you can't, Poinsettia.
However, I've never participated in the MCU before, do I do one per day or just the ones I think are cool?
(October 9, 2022 - 7:21 pm)
can I help? I haven't helped to make any MCUs yet, and I thought, hey, might as well start now!

Here are the quotes!
Funny CB quotes:
"If two slices of bread were dropped on opposite sides of the earth,
would that mean the earth was a sandwich, even if just for a moment?" -Starrzle, Random Thoughts/Things thread
"I am high in a tree where nobody can get meee and I will stay here with the crown for entenityyyyy" -Hawkstar, Last to Post thread
Inspirational Quotes:
"The world is but a canvas to the imagination." -Henry David Thoreau
"Very little is needed to make a happy life." -Marcus Aurelius
Book Quote:
"...Surprising things can happen to any one who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place." -Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

I can probably do Important Dates if you need it. It's for November, right?
(October 16, 2022 - 3:51 pm)
I'd love to do CBer awards
(October 17, 2022 - 7:32 am)
I'd love to help, but I'm new (ish) to the CB and I've never done one before. Still, I'd be happy to do anything you need me to (just maybe explain WHAT to do)

November is known as Adopt a Turkey Month or Banana Pudding Lovers Month. Most of the days are from an online site.
Nov 1: Author’s Day! Celebrate books you’ve written, or are planning to write, or books other people have written.
Nov 2: Deviled Eggs Day!
Nov 3: World Jellyfish Day!
Nov 4: Common Sense Day! I need some of that…
Nov 5: World Numbat Day! To be honest, I didn’t know these existed.
Nov 6: Daylight Savings! We get an extra hour of sleep (:
Nov 7: National Hug a Bear Day! (Teddy bears, preferably).
Nov 8: National STEM/STEAM Day!
Nov 9: Chaos Never Dies Day! This is my day!
Nov 10: National Vanilla Cupcake Day!
Nov 11: National Origami Day!
Nov 12: National Pizza With the Works Except Anchovies Day!
Nov 13: International Tongue Twister Day! (How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood—although why it is called a wood chuck if it can’t chuck wood is beyond me, and wouldn’t the answer just be however much wood a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Have I lost you? Good.)
Nov 14: National Spicy Guacamole Day! (Because obviously we need that distinction?)
Nov 15: National Camp T-Shirt Day!
Nov 16: National Button Day!
Nov 17: World Philosophy Day!
Nov 18: Mickey Mouse Day! (It’s his birthday).
Nov 19: National Have a Bad Day Day! I feel like I celebrate this way more than once a year.
Nov 20: National Absurdity Day! Also my day!
Nov 21: Odd Socks Day!
Nov 22: National Cranberry Relish Day!
Nov 23: Fibonacci Day! (That took me way to long to spell…)
Nov 24: Thanksgiving!
Nov 25: Blasé Day! I kind of hate that this rhymes—
Nov 26: National Cake Day! I’m making myself hungry…
Nov 27: Turtle Adoption Day!
Nov 28: National French Toast Day! Yum…
Nov 29: Square Dancing Day!
Nov 30: National Personal Space Day! Can this be every day?
Nov 31: Unless you live in a parallel universe, this is usually called World December First Day.
