Tabby’s Tongue-Twister

Remember how Static talked Midge into wanting a pet mosquito? He’s been up to it again. This time, he got Midge wanting a tarantula!

Midge: I was talking to Static, and we decided it was a great idea for me to get a pet tarantula!

While visiting the city on Monday, I noticed that there were four squirrels there! Was GracieGrace handing out free nuts or something?

Four squirrels in the city.

Last night, I did some bug-catching and fishing. Some of my most valuable catches included a goliath beetle (6,000 bells), cyclommatus (8,000 bells), scorpion (8,000 bells), atlas beetle (8,000 bells), giant beetle (10,000 bells), and three rainbow stags (10,000 bells each)!

I caught a rainbow stag! Someone tell me, already! Where's the rainbow?!

Midge asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “buzz off,” so I told her to say “in my nest” instead.

I listened in on a conversation between Tabby and Kabuki on the bridge. Tabby was trying to get Kabuki to say a tongue-twister: “Six slimy snakes sell seashells by the seashore.” But Kabuki couldn’t do it.

Kabuki: Six scummy steaks... Slick stormy spats... Stinky skeleton snot...!

In all, I earned over 125,000 bells on the night. It would have been more, but I spent much of my time trying to catch a freshwater goby for Drift. But despite playing for over an hour, I never found a single one of them!

Tonight, I got a letter from Kitty. She thanked me for the medicine I’ve been taking her lately, and she rewarded me with a snowboard.

Static told me he was thinking of moving away! Is he nuts? Sorry squirrel-friend, but you’re not going anywhere!

Static: And moving's such a hassle, anyway. All right, you've convinced me. I'll stay in Forest!

Just a side note: Tabby seems to be very clumsy lately. Falling into holes, running into nets. Hmm, what’s gotten into her? 😉

I posted my latest video the other day, and it features my favorite Animal Crossing villagers for every letter of the alphabet…from Agent S to Zell! Here’s the video; I hope you enjoy it!

Midge’s Mosquito

Last Friday, Midge told me that Static helped her decide that she needs a pet mosquito. Hahaha, he trolled you, Midge.

Midge: I was talking to Static, and we decided it was a great idea for me to get a pet mosquito!

I pitfalled Tabby because…well, it’s just what I do.

Tonight, Midge asked me to join in a game of hide-and-seek. Even though she disguised it as an exercise program…

Midge: I shouldn't get suckered in by fad workouts. I've really been into the hide-and-seek exercise program...

She gave me ten minutes to find her, Drift, and Maple. About 30 seconds into the game, I found Midge hiding behind a tree. She told me I still needed to find two other people…

Midge: Keep trying to find the other two people hiding, buzz off!
I think I have a good idea where one of them is…

Drift was also right there, so I was making quick progress. Maple took me a bit longer to find (she was behind the empty house by the river). But I still finished with four and a half minutes remaining. Midge congratulated me for winning the game, and she gave me a quazoid as my prize.

Midge: Well, it looks like I have a present for today's winner! Here it is! A brand-new quazoid.
By brand-new, do you mean freshly dug up out of the ground? Because that’s not exactly brand new…

There was a new house in town, so I went inside to meet Samson’s replacement: Drake the duck.

Drake: Eep! My place still isn't ready, and neither am I! I'm Drake, and I just moved here today.

Pascal was standing on one of the bridges in town, and I gave him a scallop. In return, he handed over a ship cannon. He also uttered some words of wisdom:

Pascal: Life is just what you dream when you're dreaming, maaan.

Kitty was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

After I was done in Forest, I checked in my other town of Bananas (version 3.0, which I made two years ago). I mainly just wanted to see what villagers lived there now. They are: Tiffany, Peanut, Moose, Rasher, Caroline, Margie, Apollo, Gwen, Iggly, and…Drake. So I have Drake in both towns. 😛 I won’t be playing in Bananas very often though. But I did have a little chat with Iggly…for a video I’m working on.

I’ll see you next time. Have a great day!

Samson Leaves, Bugs Arrive

On Wednesday, I saw Tabby and I said hello to her. With my net. So she called me a Neanderthal.

Tabby: OUCHERS! You are SUCH a Neanderthal! Why don't you go, like, make some stone tools or whatever?

At Able Sisters, I bought a dragon suit and put it on. When I visited Samson’s house nearby, I saw that he had all his belongings packed up in boxes! He’s moving away.

Samson: I decided to ake my awesomeness on tour, and I was bummed I wouldn't be able to say bye to people.

Clyde thanked me for the medicine I gave him recently. He then gave me a kiddie couch for my trouble.

Over by the town fountain, Midge gave me a blue tie-dye shirt. I may have worn it, if I hadn’t just bought some new clothes. 😛 Maybe another time, bird brain.

Today, I got Samson’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Yo, Jeff, It's time for me to bail on Forest and take these biceps on tour! They're just too big for one town. Don't worry, you'll see 'em again! Peace! -Samson

I also received a punny letter from Mom. Interestingly, she used the same stationery as Samson.

Dear Jeff, Your dad went fishing the other day, and the freezer is packed to the gills with fish! HA HA HA! See what I did there? -Mom

According to Clyde, I missed out on a big fight. Midge and Tabby were throwing coffee in each other’s faces, and slapping each other. Wow! I really wish I could have seen that! (Go Midge, Go Midge!)

When I visited Static, he asked me to toss a good shark his way! Wow. Would you like a golden throne while I’m at it? Keep dreaming, squirrel.

Static: Do you mind tossing a good shark my way, buzz off?

I spoke with Opal, and she told me she always rolls around in flower petals on Sundays. She’s an odd one.

Opal: I always roll around in flower petals on Sunday.

Later on, I went bug hunting. July is here now, so all of the valuable summer bugs are out now. I caught an elephant beetle, a tarantula, a scorpion, a couple of goliath beetles, a couple of cyclommatus beetles, and more. I earned about 70,000 bells from the bugs I caught.

I caught a cyclommatus! Aw, it's so pretty!

Static, not content to just ask me for a shark, also wanted the goliath beetle in my pockets! He only offered me a gelato shirt for it! Go away, greedy squirrel.

Static: J-boo! Where did you get that excellent goliath beetle in your pocket? And can I have it?

The bug season is just beginning, so I’ll be sure to have more bug-catching nights over the next two months. If you’ll be doing the same, good luck on your bug hunts! And I’ll see you all next time. 🙂
