Something in Common

This was posted on the bulletin board. Nook has a rare common painting on sale today.

-Nook Special- This just in! We just received a rare piece, common painting, in our showroom! -Nook 'n' Go
Wait. If it’s common, how can it be rare?

I went to the city to see what Crazy Redd had for sale. He had a Mr. Flamingo, a scary painting, and a tea vase.

Mr. Flamingo, a scary painting, and a tea vase on sale in Crazy Redd's shop.I started watering my flowers, finding one new black rose today. I then made my way back around to Nook’s and decided to check on my Nook point status. I’m a gold status member and I still need 1,836 points before I become a platinum member. That’s still a looong way to go.

In order to reach the next level, you need 1,836 points.Bob asked me for a new greeting.

Bob: I am the Koopa!!And then in Able’s, I saw a shirt that didn’t look familiar. It was the uncommon shirt. If a common painting is rare, does that mean an uncommon shirt is actually common? Maybe not, but it is uncommonly ugly.

Mabel: That's an uncommon shirt. Yeah, that item costs just 360 bells.

Silver Trophy

The fishing tournament results from yesterday were posted on the bulletin board. It confirmed my win with my 18-inch monster. Wait…monster?

*The Tourney Results* Jeff has won the 1/19 Horse Mackerel Fishing Tourney with a 18-inch monster!And I got a letter in the mail from Chip, with my silver trophy. I put it next to my other trophies:

My bug and fish trophies on display in my snowman-themed house.It was my first time earning a silver trophy, since I usually ignore the fish/bug tournaments. But contrary to what you might think, the silver trophy is not for second place. To clear up any confusion about the trophies, this is the breakdown:

  • gold trophy – for winning a general fishing tournament, where any fish is eligible
  • silver trophy – for winning a fishing tournament where only one specific fish is eligible
  • bug trophy – for winning the bug tournament

I have no idea why Nintendo chose to make the trophies gold and silver, because gold and silver are typically used to represent first and second place, respectively. And why doesn’t the bug tournament have two types of trophies? Only Nintendo knows.

Anyway, I then went around town to water flowers. Robin approached me, asking for the K.K. Slider DVD she supposedly lent me. Say what? But then she realized she lent it to Amelia instead. Yeah, like Amelia’s ever going to return it.

Robin: You know, that DVD K.K. Slider: On Tour...Once I finished up in Forest, I checked in on my Bananas town. Unfortunately, Iggly apparently became the first resident to move out of town. It’s a shame, because he was the same Iggly that lived in Forest before. Now he’s left me twice.

Iggly's goodbye letter in ACCF.I found today’s money rock, dug up some fossils, and sold some fruit. In total, I have about 225,000 bells of the 400,000 I need for my fountain. So maybe in a couple weeks I’ll have enough.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and come back again soon!
