April MCU Questions
This month, we'll be accepting...
LMWAY
In the Northern Hemisphere, April means spring has arrived and flowers are blooming. For this month's LMWAY, we want to know what is the most absurd place you can expect to find flowers.
Advice Column
It's almost April, which means April Fools' Day is fast approaching. Give us your favorite prank to use on friends and family this April 1st!

Where are you this month? Post your creative April- or spring-inspired location. Winners will be posted in the April MCU issue!
CBer Awards
Do you have a CBer you'd like to shout out for something like Best New Solo Write Idea or Longest Lasting Picturing Thread? Let us know by giving us their name, what you want to nominate them for, and why you think they should be nominated.
April Jokes
Give us your best April-themed jokes! (Puns and dad jokes and the likes, obviously, everything should be CB-appropriate.)

If you have a birthday, CBversary, or other important date in April, let us know! We'll feature these in the Important Dates section of the April MCU!
Well, that's about it. All responses are greatly appreciated. See you in April :)

LMWAY:
It would be extremely strange to find flowers inside a test tube in a school chemistry lab. Or in your dad's bedroom slippers. (Assuming he has bedroom slippers.) Or woven poetically through your uncle's hair.
Advice column:
Can't think of anything :/ Maybe I'll post some ideas later.
LotM:
Inside a Tulip!
CBer Awards:
I'll give a shoutout to everyone!! you all make the CB the wonderful, unique place it is!
As for individual shoutouts - I'll say The Egghead, whoever he/she may be, for starting the Egg Hunt, because it's a really fun idea and lends some excitement to checking threads every day :) Honestly, though, there are so many other CBers I'd like to give shoutouts to, probably too many to list here...
April Jokes:
Q: What flowers bloom on faces?
A: Tulips!
Important Dates:
April 1: April Fools' Day
April 9: Easter!

LMWAY: My mind went directly to the toilet tank, but I suppose within a dusty old attic where the sun doesn't shine might be an odd spot as well.
Advice: Sticking googley eyes on everything is a fun (and harmless) prank. Ooh, this year April 1st is a Saturday, so if one is dedicated and a relatively good actor, they could convince their housemates that it's a weekday. My brain has enjoyed pulling this trick on me on many a weekend.
Jokes:
Here's a classic.
Q: April showers bring May flowers, but what do May flowers bring?
A: Pilgrims!
Important Dates:
April 5-13: Passover
April 22: Earth Day
April 23: my birthday ;3
Also I joined the CB somewhere around the turn of March and April. Two years of lizardry! =D

Whee, another MCU! We haven't had any for ages.
LMWAY:
Well, it would be odd to see flowers coming gracefully out of a radio ;)
Advice Column:
To be Easter-themed, you could put eggs in unexpected places - in a lamp instead of the light bulb, for example.
Location of the month:
a vale of violets
CBer awards:
Well, the Egghead comes to my mind too, and Poinsettia and Flamarestii for starting the Magical Horses RP... but really, I'd say give awards to everyone on here, because you're all so inventive and amazing! Also I'd honestly give an extra-big award to all the admins, for doing such an amazing job here... As always, thank you so much, admins! :D
Thank you for remembering us, Amethyst.

LMWAY: I would least expect to find flowers inside a sock. Or any article of clothing, for that matter.
Advice Column: Try taking the batteries out of a TV remote, or computer mouse, or something. Then put a weight in there, if you think the person would be able to tell that the batteries are missing (nothing magnetic or metal, though. After the person realizes that it “doesn’t work”, secretly put the batteries in it, and brag about your genius in being able to “fix” it.
CBer Awards: I would like to award ~Amarillis~ the award of most guesses in an SI! In the Song Artist SI, she guessed me 17 times. They also got guessed a lot from me - 30 times. Also thanks for putting up with my incessant guessing.
April Jokes: This is a series of jokes. Be sure to tell them in order.
Q: How do you fit an elephant into a refrigerator?
A: You open the door, put the elephant in, and close the door.
Q: How do you fit another elephant into the refrigerator?
A: You open the door, take the first elephant out, put the other elephant in, and close the door. The fridge isn't that big.
Q: The king of the lions is having a party. All the animals are invited, including you! Unfortunately, you have to cross a river full of crocodiles to get there. How do you cross the river?
A: You just swim across. The crocodiles are at the party.
Q: One animal didn't make it to the party. Who was it?
A: The elephant that's still in the refrigerator. Hurry, let it out!
Okay, that was long.
Important Dates: April 5 is Deep Dish Pizza day. April 13 is Peach Cobbler Day. April 15 is World Art day. April 17 is Blah Blah Blah day. April 22 is Jelly Bean day. And April 30 is Jazz day.

LMWAY: The most absurd place, eh? I picture an open book with a worn green leather cover, colorful flowers spilling out of the pages. Or perhaps a pencil with flowers coming out of the tip, like a mini bouquet.
Advice column: If you are looking for a simple prank, head to the bathroom. Unroll the toilet paper slightly and draw a black spider on one of the squares. Roll it back up so the spider is hidden. I really scared my mother with this prank last year. >:)
Location of the month: Whirling in the rain.
CBer Awards: I know several people have already said this, but I would also like to nominate The Egghead. The egg hunt has been so much fun!
April jokes: Why couldn't the little flower ride a bike?
It didn't have any petals.
Important Dates: April 7 is Caramel Popcorn Day. April 11 is National Pet Day. April 28 is Arbor Day.

LMWAY
Probably the strangest place to find flowers would be in the void of space. Just, not in a planter, the flower itself is floating around in space.
Advice Column
Put food coloring in your family milk carton.
Location of the Month
Palm Springs.
April jokes
When do gorillas fall from the sky? During Ape-ril showers.
Important dates
My birthday is on April 14! I'll be 10 this year!
