Spare Jackhammer

On Thursday, Pippy informed me that she was finally over her cold. She thanked me for all the medicine and she gave me a fireplace. She told me to enjoy it in a pond, but I don’t think it will work there.

Pippy: Here! Your favorite! A fireplace! Enjoy, in a pond!

Robin asked me for a new greeting to replace “Where’s Batman?” I agreed to help out, but I kept a similar theme…

Robin: Batman and who?

Over by Nookington’s, Truffles told me that Tom Nook and Sable have “some sort of relationship.” Of course, that’s not really saying much.

Truffles: Yeah, apparently he and Sable have some sort of relationship, snoutie!

Pascal was in town yesterday, so I had a chat with him on the shore. He told me that love is blind like an eyeless deep-sea creature. That’s oddly specific. 😛

Pascal: Maaannn, love is blind like an eyeless deep-sea creature.

He gave me a ship cannon…presumably to fight off any eyeless deep-sea creatures that may crawl ashore. 😛

When I visited Caroline, she offered me her spare jackhammer. It’s funny to me that a cute squirrel not only has a jackhammer, but has a spare jackhammer. How does a squirrel end up with things like this? 😆

Caroline: Hey, bunny, you want a jackhammer? 'Cuz I've got a spare.

Tonight, some snow flurries greeted me as I started up the game. It’s that time of year!

Snow flurries fall from the sky in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Curt is the latest animal to come down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon!

Whitney’s catchphrase continues to pay dividends. She’s been told that her skin looks like fresh snow, on a pig. 😆

Whitney: I've been told before that my skin looks like fresh snow, on a pig.

After making my rounds, I finished up my night with a concert at the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Cruisin'” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Cruisin'!

Just a heads-up for those who follow my Wild World video series. The first seven episodes originally used Youtube annotations, which Youtube stopped displaying in 2019. So they were left without my thoughts and puns for the past several years. But I’ve started to go back and re-add those, as well as add new notes and puns, and re-upload those videos. The first two are done, and more are on the way. Episode 1Episode 2

Two Slides

Yesterday, Truffles was very excited to tell me what she found…

Truffles: What, you ask?! It's a crack on the ground! Can you believe it? A CRACK!!!

A crack on the ground. But the dialogue didn’t have much of a point to it. She was just saying that you can dig where you see cracks in the ground to find what fabulous things were buried there. Just obvious, Day 1, tutorial type dialogue. 😛

Pippy has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday and again today. However, she said she’s still not fully recovered yet.

Today, Curt was being unusually nice to me. It was odd.

Curt: I don't mean to sound like a kiss-up, hon, but you're good people.
Curt: Hmm... Yeah, I like that you come over and talk to me! You're all right!

Even though that conversation felt weird, that was nice of him.

Robin asked me for some blue furniture, so I kept an eye out when I went to shop at Nookington’s. I spotted an elephant slide, which is mostly blue, so I decided to buy that for her.

An elephant slide for sale at Nookington's.

I went up to Robin’s house, but my heart dropped when I walked inside. She already had an elephant slide!

The inside of Robin's house, including her elephant slide.

I know in some games (at least New Horizons), they won’t accept a gift if they already have one. But I tried it anyway, and to my surprise, she accepted it! She liked it, and she rewarded me with a cowhide rug! But this begged the question: Would she display them both? So I left and re-entered her house…and the answer is yes!

Two elephant slides on display in Robin's house.

She even said it was weird to think about life without it!

Robin: Sometimes it's weird thinking about what life was like before I had it.

That’s such an odd thing to say, considering she already had one. 🤔 But hey, if she likes having two slides, that’s fine by me.

Frobert told me there was a lot of furniture he likes, but first he had to worry about his sweaty floors. Why would his floors be sweating? 😉 No, I guess he meant he had dripped his own sweat all over his floor, which sounds even worse. Gross…and an odd thing to say.

Frobert: But before I buy anything, I gotta do something about my sweaty floors!

At first I thought that was just (weird) random dialogue. But after I heard him say it a 2nd time, I wondered if he was actually asking me for some new flooring. So I went back to the shop and bought him some red tile (flooring). However, when I returned to him, he made no mention of the flooring in my pockets. I guess buying it was a waste of time (and bells).

At town hall, I found a birdcage in the recycle bin! Not sure who threw out a bird, but I guess they were trying to be Earth-friendly…you know: Reuse. Recycle. Re-tweet. 🐦

After selling some fossils and fruit, my savings balance reached 18 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 18,000,000.

Poseidon’s Palace?

On Wednesday, I received my latest house score from the Happy Room Academy (HRA). Thanks to Curt’s pic, which I added last week, my score is up to 296,900 points.

Filbert asked me if I was collecting shells in order to recreate Poseidon’s palace!

Filbert: Don't tell me... Are you trying to re-create Poseidon's palace?

He said it would practically make me royalty. 😛 And he would visit as Prince Filbert, ruler of the sea.

Filbert: Then I'd visit and pretend to be Prince Filbert, ruler of the sea!

I saw a weather bulletin on the bulletin board, reminding me that winter (and snow) will be coming soon. Oof.

-Weather Bulletin- Come November, mornings will start to cool down. We might even see now, so keep warm!

Yesterday, Whitney told me that it’s better to walk for an hour than to run for half an hour. She said she tries to make pleasurable things last as long as possible…on a pig.

Whitney: I like to make pleasurable things last as long as possible, on a pig!

Today, I found Pascal standing near the ocean. He told me that crocodiles can outrun horses on land! I have my doubts about that one, even if crocs can be fast in short bursts.

Pascal: Crocodiles can outrun a horse on land, maaannn. Just think about that.
What a croc(k).

He gave me a ship cannon before plunging into the cold sea.

Truffles asked me how she looked, but there was no option to actually reply. So I was quite surprised when she thought I said she looked like a total movie star! Yeah, I don’t think so.

Truffles: What?! I look like a total movie star? REALLY? DO YOU MEAN IT??
Maybe Babe.

Pippy was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Pippy!
