On Tuesday, Pascal popped up to ask for a scallop I caught. He then spouted some dizzying logic, wondering why dinosaurs are bad drivers if dinosaurs turned into the oil that powers cars?<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Pascal:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Who says they are <\/em>bad drivers? Is this about Yoshi in Mario Kart? This is not one of Pascal’s better quotes, in my opinion. Unless I’m just missing the joke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Wade the penguin was camping at the campsite. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Wade,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I did not recognize him, because Wade is a villager that I’ve rarely seen before. I might <\/em>have seen him in a friend’s town on New Leaf, or possibly in a dream town, but those would’ve been many years ago. And it seems that the only time I’ve even mentioned<\/em> him on this site was when I listed the new and returning villagers in Welcome Amiibo<\/a> in 2016!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At any rate, he is cute, but I did not ask him to move in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Peanut asked me to visit her house, and I agreed to stop over. She talked and talked, wanting to know everything about me. It was a bit much.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Peanut:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But I chatted with her repeatedly, I used her workbench, I watched cartoons on her TV, and I played a game of High Card, Low Card with her. I lost. After about five minutes, I left her house. She chased me down in the doorway and gave me a copy of “Forest Life” on my way out. It was kind of cute how it went down.<\/p>\n\n\n

Today, I listened in on a conversation between June and Peanut. Peanut was talking about fashion, but June didn’t understand a word. Peanut said she was just trying out some small talk, so June gave that a try too. Except she <\/em>was talking about how she thinks mermaids really exist. \ud83e\udddc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n

If mermaids are real, that makes me wonder where Pascal is getting the mermaid’s clothing that he sometimes gives out! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, I listened in on another Peanut conversation. This one was with Louie, and he told her how he’s going to start signing his autographs once his pro surfing career takes off. It included a catchphrase I taught him a while back. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Louie:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But Peanut liked it so much that she’s going to start using it too! This is what she plans on saying when she becomes a pop star:<\/p>\n\n\n

Silly villagers. \ud83d\ude06 Anyway, here are a few other quick notes about this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
