Snake Slithers Into Town

Last Friday, I received Samson’s goodbye letter in the mail. I can’t say I’ll miss him.

Hoo-ha, Jeff, I'm moving. I have my reasons. No worries, yo! I'm sure you'll remember me fondly. Keep pumpin'! See ya! From Samson

Monday was Goldie’s birthday, so I bought an iris chair from Nookington’s for her birthday present. I then headed over to her party and gave her the gift.

Goldie: Check it out! You got me an iris chair!

She seemed to enjoy it, and she returned the favor by giving me a cradle. By the way, Cyrano was the other villager at Goldie’s party, even though he wasn’t in the above screenshot.

Today, I spotted a new house where Big Top used to live. Inside, I found Snake the ninja rabbit. He even called himself a ninja, even though that was just a coincidence; the “chugging ninja” dialogue is something any of the jock villagers can say.

Snake: I'm Snaka, aka the Chugging Ninja! I just moved here.

I’ve had Snake on GameCube and in City Folk before. He’s alright; he’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t dislike him either. However, I do think he’s a slight improvement over Samson.

Cyrano was talking about vagabonds, and he said we’ll truck through Forest to cover every inch of town. I just smiled and nodded, and then ran away.

Cyrano: All right, sunshine, follow me! In my nose!
I am not going in there.

When I spoke with Goldie, she was trying to tell me that she saw Snake furiously stomping around the beach the other night. Considering he just moved in today, I found her story a bit hard to believe.

Goldie: Guess what, sunshine! The other night, Snake was so mad...

If you haven’t seen my latest video, here it is. It includes highlights of events from October 1st through November 17th.

Scraggly Cat, Moving Mouse

Yesterday, I got to listen in on a conversation argument between Olivia and Roscoe. Roscoe told Olivia that she looked scraggly and her makeup looked bad. 😂 Yes, he was being quite rude, but since Olivia is often rude to me, I found it rather amusing. She got a taste of her own medicine. 😛

Roscoe: I gotta say, Olivia, you've got a scraggly look going on today...

Of course, she got mad…and Roscoe just stood there laughing in her face. 😂

Today, I found a note in a bottle, and it seemed to be someone’s tax form! Interestingly, they made more in overtime than they did in salary.

Miscalculation. Salary: 28,200 bells. Overtime: 32,600 bells. Income tax: 15,700 bells. Total: 45,100 bells. Keep up the hard work!

Dr. Shrunk was in town, and I decided to ask him for a new emotion. I asked him to teach me fear, and he told me a story about going to the doctor and watching the doctor put on rubber gloves. My new fear replaced my existing blankness…and I’ll never be the same. 😛

Shrunk: Anyhow, you've now forgotten how to express blankness...

When I went in Samson’s house, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out. I decided to let him go. He’s not exactly one of my favorites, and I’ve already earned his pic, so I’m fine with letting him move out.

Samson: And to do it, I've gotta move to another town, slacker!

I spoke with Bob, and he told me that he just loves sea bass. And he wasn’t even being sarcastic!

Bob: I'll show you just how much I love the sea bass!

He wanted to have a competition to see who could catch one first, and I agreed to the challenge. Not only are sea bass pretty easy to catch, but even if you catch a large ocean fish that’s not a sea bass, then you’re probably catching a fish that’s worth a decent chunk of change.

And that’s exactly what happened: In my first two attempts, I caught a red snapper and a football fish. They’re both semi-valuable fish worth at least a couple thousand bells each. I then caught a sea bass, and Bob gave me 510 bells for it. Not bad. 👍

I’ll see you all next time. Happy holidays! 🎄

J-Monkey, Missed UFO

Last Friday, Cyrano wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a pill bug first. I banged some rocks and caught the bug, and Cyrano said he was rewarding me with a plunger…in his nose. 😂😂😂

Cyrano: A pill bug? very cool! here, take this plunger...in my nose!

However, he was joking about the plunger. That’s actually not an item that’s in the game. 😛 So he gave me 510 bells instead. But his jovial attitude quickly shifted to rage! He said he hates losing to losers like me! 😮 This dude has some anger issues.

Cyrano: I am not that man. I HATE LOSING TO LOSERS LIKE YOU!

So I hit him with my net a few times. *whack*

Goldie was feeling better after suffering with a cold for a while, so she thanked me for the medicine by giving me a citrus carpet.

On Monday, Phyllis continued to complain about Pete.

Phyllis: A stupid guy is after me, and I've had about as much as I can handle.

Not only is she annoyed by Pete, but she’s also irritated by the fact that Pelly is supposedly “in love” with him. She wished Pete would just fly away, except that his flying isn’t very good. 😛

Bob is the latest animal to come down with a cold. I gave him medicine on Tuesday and Wednesday, and he was already feeling better by Thursday! That was unusually fast! He gave me a cowhide rug for helping him out.

Bob: I can really count on you... Thanks for attending to me in my time of plague!

Today, at the first x:x7 (which was 9:27 p.m.), I checked for the UFO as usual. It didn’t come. So I tried getting a few things done before checking again at 9:32. You know, banging some rocks, looking for fossils, and so on.

As I was starting to head up north for the next possible fly-by, Bob pinged me and gave me a new nickname: J-monkey! That’s an odd one that I don’t think I’ve heard before.

Bob: Whoa! It sounds even cooler when I say it out loud, J-monkey!!!

As the conversation was ending, I heard a UFO! I was nowhere near the northern part of town, so I was in trouble! I grabbed my slingshot from my pockets, which takes precious seconds, and then started running to the northwest (since the UFO was flying east to west). It wasn’t going to be easy to catch up to it, but my chances crashed from slim to none when I fell in a pitfall. Yeowch.

Falling into a pitfall.

I still tried, but it was well gone by the time I reached the river. It’s actually been a long time since I failed at a UFO crossing. It was totally Bob’s fault for pinging me. 😉 But I’ll try not to take it out on him.

I really struck out with special visitors this week. Saharah didn’t come to town, Redd didn’t have what I needed from him, and then I failed at shooting down Gulliver’s UFO. Oof. Maybe I’ll have better luck next week.

When I was visiting Roscoe, I noticed that he bares a resemblance to his black knight. 😛

Roscoe stands next to a black knight.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back again next week.
