Underground Pirate Lair?

Yesterday, Robin asked me for some new clothes. I checked the lost and found, and I grabbed an orange tie-dye that was in there. Robin said that I’m beginning to understand what beauty is…so I guess that means she likes the shirt. 😛

Robin: It seems that you're beginning to understand what beauty is.

She rewarded me with 510 bells.

Whitney was also talking about fashion, but not about shirts. She wanted a fashionable alternative to a backpack or tote bag…but a fanny pack was not an acceptable choice.

Whitney: Huh? What? A fanny pack? Um, yeah... That's a great idea, all night!
Whitney, continuing: If tourist from the sticks was the look I was going for!

Curt was telling me about dig spots, which is obviously something you learn very early on in any Animal Crossing game. This seemed like a very tutorial-ish bit of dialogue…

Curt: If the ground looks weird, there's probably something buried there, on my Wii.

However, it then took a turn. Instead of there just being a fossil buried, he said maybe it could be pirate booty or even a secret underground pirate lair! Wow!

Curt: Like a fossil or pirate booty. Or even a secret subterranean pirate lair!

Now that I’d like to see! 🏴‍☠️ Except that it would probably just be Resetti wearing a pirate hat. 😆

Today, Drift reminded me that Filbert’s birthday is coming up on June 3rd. That’s next Tuesday, so I hope I remember to play that day! Anyway, Drift asked me if a bottle cap is a good gift idea.

Drift: How's a bottle cap? Cool, in a pond? >Sounds good!

I told him it sounded good, and he said it didn’t matter what I thought!

Drift: Well, it doesn't matter what YOU think, after all.
Then why did you ask me?!

Caroline asked me to join her exclusive walking club…that does nothing but walk around, like she does anyway. 😛

Caroline: Hey, bunny, care to join my exclusive walking club, on my Wii?
The walk sounds a bit boring… I think I’ll skip it this time.

And over by town hall, Truffles asked if I’d like to help her recycle some of her old junk. I agreed to help out, but then she realized she left the furniture at home.

Truffles: W-what?! You wanna help? EEK! Well, actually, I left the furniture at home...
I’ll believe that when pigs fly.

And yet we couldn’t go to her house to get it. 😛 I think she was just lying about the whole thing.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week. Never Stop Crossing!

Flea Fashion

Curt complimented me on my house Wednesday, saying it was really impressive. He said the only thing I’m missing is a giant yard gnome.

Curt: If only you had a giant lawn gnome, your house would be complete!

I caught a flea that was on Robin, and she had an unusual reaction. She said that everyone has fleas…

Robin: Oh, thanks, la-di-da. What? Fleas? Everyone's got fleas! La-di-da!

…and she even said they’re a must-have accessory this season! 😆

Robin: Ms. Nintendique even says that they're this season's must-have accessory!
That’s the latest fashion trend? I’m not itching to join in.

I shot down a balloon present and found a free propane stove inside! That’s a hot deal! (But where can I buy some propane and propane accessories?)

Tonight, I ran into Tank close to the beach. He warned me not to pick up his shells.

Tank: Listen up, bunny! Don't you DARE go picking up my shells, a'ight?
Today I learned that “a’ight” is canonically in Animal Crossing.

He said that’s how he makes ends meet. And yet I’ve never seen him pick up a single shell. 🐚

Tank: this is how I make ends meet, snappy!

Tank may view that strategy as a “shore thing,” but I think it would only work at a snail’s pace. Well, good luck with that, Tank.

A new message posted to the bulletin board appears to have been posted by Pete! Instead of the usual “Talking to Myself” heading, this one says “Talking to Pete’s Self.”

-Talking to Pete's Self- Check your mail daily! If your mailbox is full, we can't deliver letters. Help us help you!

Whitney asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “snappy.” I wanted to tell her to say “at the moon,” but that wouldn’t fit. So I went with “all night.” She then asked if I like to go out and catch bugs, and I said no (just to see how she responded). She replied by saying she had no idea why she was even holding a net!

Whitney: I know what you mean. I have no idea why I'm holding a net...

She even said that she sometimes forgets what she is doing…which she blames on her ex. 😆

Whitney: Sometimes I forget who I am and what I'm doing.
Whitney: But this, too, is my ex's fault, all night.

On that note, I’m going to wrap up this week’s entry. Have a great weekend, everyone!

A Pile of Rice

On Thursday, Curt was talking about Tom Nook, and how he always looks so spaced out. He said it’s even rare that Tom gives him the correct change!

Curt: Giving me the correct change is a stretch for him!

Robin was also bad-mouthing Tom Nook. First, she said he’s not the best-looking guy. And then she said he’s really cheap.

Robin: But the biggest turnoff for me is that he's cheap! I can't stand cheapskates!

When I visited Truffles, she made a snout snide remark about me always wearing the same clothes. She asked if I had fresh clothes to change into, and I replied with “Fresh clothes?” She then freaked out because she thought I didn’t know what clean clothes are.

Truffles: EEEEEEEK! You don't even know what clean clothes are?!

Funny that all this is coming from a pig. Go roll in the mud or something, you sow.

Yesterday, Robin told me she was looking for a flea, on her Wii. I appreciated the unintentional rhyme. 😆

Robin: I'm looking for a bug called a flea, on my Wii.

Whitney was complaining about Gracie for some reason, and Gracie wasn’t even in town! Whitney said she can’t stand Gracie’s superior attitude, and Whitney said she knows more about fashion than Gracie does!

Whitney: I know just as much about clothes as she does... Maybe even more!

Saharah was in town, and I delivered carpet packages to Pelly and Tom Nook for her. I then claimed a shoji screen as my reward.

Outside of town hall, I listened in on a conversation between Robin and Filbert. They were talking about three-course meals, but Filbert kept saying that he just wants rice to eat.

Filbert: So, for me, a three-course meal would be rice, rice, and sparkling cider.
So rice, twice, will suffice.

As you might expect, Robin responded to say that’s not a three-course meal. She said it’s just a pile of rice.

Robin: That's just a pile of rice!

Even though I changed Caroline’s catchphrase to “on fire” last month, she’s back to using her previous one: “On my Wii.” Curt and Truffles also use it, so I’m getting pretty tired of it by now. 😛 I’m starting to think the chances of eradicating it from Forest are remote.

When I started up the game today, I was met by two characters outside of my house. I noticed that they have similar color schemes: Curt and Lyle.

Curt and Lyle meet me outside my house.

Caroline was having a good start to her day, and she wanted to share it with everyone. But there was a small problem…

Caroline: I wish I could feel like this all the time, yuck!

The “yuck” is not a catchphrase! It’s a result of a flea that was on her. But I got a laugh out of the juxtaposition of her good mood and the “yuck” comment from her having fleas. 😆

Yesterday, I posted my latest Wild World video episode, #76. I hope you’ll check it out!
