Eh, maybe later. Anyway -
*Add that to the list, Sammy.
Wait, what? What? What list.
***[Ahem] Last week, Nelina asked you to add her on ClipSnip. You still haven’t done so.
Well -
***Additionally, you still need to get Rapshider’s phone number and not just his ClipSnip account.
I -
*** A group chat with Bie, Boonoo, Birezi, and Prehherea, another with Juma, Keshi, and Shakawatha, and one more with Ziataaman and Ziakarar, the twins, have not been replied to in a week.
Ehhh -
*Whoa, look at the time! It’s about time for
THE LMWAY!
(Last Month We Asked You)
Last Month We Asked You: What would you hide inside eggs instead of candy and money?
Dolphin said: I would host a pool party at wild waves with all the junk food you can eat, and donate the rest to soldiers. Ways to honor soldiers: well, I play the violin, so maybe make an online video of the Star-Spangled Banner. Or donate to organizations that support soldiers and veterans. And cards!
Luna-Starr said: have the best neighborhood street party ever. There'll be hot dogs and burgers, lemonade in dixie cups. sparklers and tiny flags. People could sit in lawn chairs and talk and remember all of our brave military personnel. Kids could catch fireflies and play with those little pop-its you have on 4th of July. Overall it would be a really good (and rather inexpensive) time.
Alex said: Make the best... most awesomenest.. PARTY TO HONOR THE SOLDIERS EVER!!!
ok sorry that was a little overboard...
Majestic Mary said: Well, assuming we are no longer in quarantine... I would go to the pool, because my pool opens on Memorial Day, and I would buy pizza for the ENTIRE pool. I would also buy more soda for the soda toss, so there would be less face-kicking and underwater fighting for a single can of off-brand soda. Then I would buy everyone ice cream, and then, after the pool closed, some of my friends would come home with me and we would have a huge party with all the most unnecessary things.
Strawberri said: I'd put flags up all over my house, order potato chips (original, barbaque, sour cream and onion, etc) hire a live band to play outside my house, sitting 6 feet apart, give 200$ to the wounded warrior project, get 40 hot dogs, 50 hamburgers and buns for both things, give anything left to the WW project
Summer said: Let's do a traditional barbecue! Hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, all the condiments, and, if there's any cash left over, maybe some lawn games. Like hula hoops and stuff.
***Zulgeteb could be asking you about the homework, you still haven’t responded to Zulbajin even though no one in your family has trouble sleeping, Tzane asked you about Seshi that one time so she could be asking you again -
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHh
MAY JOKES!
Q: What do you call a female horse after dark?
A: A nightmare!
(Emekittycon K)
Why do pilots hate May?
Because of May Day!
Why are the military the best secret keepers?
They’ll never tell a soul-dier!
Why should you play Bohemian Rhapsody on Mother’s Day?
MAMAAAAAAAAA, oooo-o-o-ooh,
What do you call the grave of the unknown soldier’s mother?
A military mom-ument!
What do you say after you compliment a soldier?
I hope that major day!
***Nuenvan’s birthday was three months ago and you wished him happy birthday on SnipClip but what if you didn’t do enough -
SAMMY! SHUT UP!
***Rude.
*No, she’s right. All you’re doing is pointing out her flaws, but she’s still done many -
**No, she’s evil now.
*What?
**She’s a monster. A shapeshifter. A swamp demon.
*...it’s times like these I regret that humans were gifted with emotions.
Let’s move on, shall we!
HONORING THE SOLDIERS WHILE IN QUARANTINE!
To honor the soldiers while in quarantine, make cards! If you have a family member in the military, send it to them, and they will definitely appreciate it. You can also make a video thanking the soldiers and post it online - never underestimate the power of social media, especially in these trying times!
(Submitted my Majestic Mary)
Well... Let's see.. you could call them and thank them.
(Submitted by Alex)
You can honor our soldiers by posting a video thanking them on social media, or if you can't do that, you can hang up a poster thanking them in your window!
(Submitted by Luna-Starr)
Well, if you know any personally, a thank you letter would work. Something to let them know their country appreciates them. If you are honoring people who have passed away, you don't have to do that much. A silent thought thinking about what they have done for your country can be enough. If you want, you can also be crafty with it, creating pictures of the soldiers in battle or something else, as long as its not disrespectful.
(Submitted by Dusk S.)
Make a Zoom party for them. And send flowers to everyone. Daffodils represent respect.
(Submitted by PygmyOwl)
**Itqanne once called you up thirty times in the same day while you were eating dinner and you didn’t call him back -
***Alnotassa once sent you a meme and you haven’t sent one back for a month, which is a three on the payback scale -
**Basically we’re saying that you’re the worst person to ever walk the earth.
I am LEAVINNNNGGGGG!
*Wonder what she’ll do in the conviently placed garage that will probably never be mentioned again and whose existence will most likely be contradictd?
***Beats me. Anyway...

Top!
(May 2, 2020 - 5:22 pm)
June 12th is my b-day! It's also Kitten Appreciation Day, too!!
(May 3, 2020 - 11:46 am)
Actually I think July 10th is Kitten Appreciation Day. Though I cld be wrong. June 22 is my dad’s birthday! June 1st is Milk Day, and June 3rd is Bicycle day.
(May 3, 2020 - 7:28 pm)
@Agent Winter, that is so weird, my dad's birthday is on June 22 too! (Illuminati theme plays)
(May 4, 2020 - 9:22 am)
my dad's b-day is June 20th. my friendas is June 24.
(May 7, 2020 - 2:31 pm)
so you are a few days older than me! cool
(May 7, 2020 - 2:29 pm)
Thank you so much, for putting this together, I really enjoyed reading it! I'm glad to hear those aren't the actual names of your friends.
(May 3, 2020 - 8:30 pm)
My sister's b-day is the 13th of June and my aunt's b-day is the 15th of June!
(May 4, 2020 - 7:29 am)
Hmm...let's see. You can do a lot with a beach ball...but I'll fill it with water and freeze it.
(May 4, 2020 - 11:43 am)
I'm so sorry I couldn't get the awards in! (I'm not fired, right? I like my job...)
Imprtant date, my birthday is the 1rst!
For the beachball, I'd probably get a whole bunch of people to sign it, add the date, then carefully put it in a chest and bury it somewhere. An MCU time capsule.
For funny things my dad has done... I guess I'm not sure what would be the funniest. He does lots of really memorable, goofy things, like makes funny faces, lurks in the backs of family pictures, talks to the dog in a funny voice, and does really long rasberries. But, owing to the fact that he has an extremely weird relationship with our dog, he once landed himself with an upside-down dog literally on top of him while we were watching church on the couch the other week. I don't know if that counts, but it was definitely funny!
And a loation of the month: Summer Stay-cation!
(May 6, 2020 - 2:29 pm)
Luna-Starr, my birthday is the first too! wow june birthdays are COMMON
happy almost birthday to you and me!
(May 27, 2020 - 5:57 pm)
Is it just me or are there a LOT of perople with birthdays in June? Just sayin'
(May 7, 2020 - 2:33 pm)
*says a little quietly because I'm a teeny bit embarassed to say this*
June 24th is my birthday.... (I turn 18... which means I"m officially an adult. *gasp*)
(May 7, 2020 - 3:20 pm)
Wow! This is the really cool thing about the CB. Kids (or adults) of all ages can come together to talk about stuff. i'm pretty sure that if some of you met me in person, I would probably look like an immature 'little kid'. No offense to anyone, by the way. But on the CB, everyone can come together as equals. Age dosen't matter as much.
