HRA Score: Zero

On Thursday, Curt wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a crucian carp…with legs! I don’t think anyone is going to find one of those with legs! 😆

Curt: Who can catch a crucian carp first, with legs?!

Yesterday must have been Dharma Day, because Nookington’s had both the regular and mini-dharmas!

Timmy: Ah, yes, yes. That's the mini-dharma. Very nice. ...very nice.

Filbert was complaining about his latest Happy Room Academy evaluation. Apparently, his score was literally zero! Wow! You can’t get any worse than that!

Filbert: ...my room's a mess! I can't believe that coordination earned me 0 points.

Whitney was talking about La-Di-Day, and she wished that it ran longer than just one day. She wanted to sing until dawn, on a pig.

Whitney: They should at least let me sing until dawn, on a pig!

As for La-Di-Day, today was the day. Truffles said that once her song is chosen as the town tune, talent scouts won’t stop calling her.

Truffles: The talent scouts will swarm this town and won't stop calling me!

She said it’s hard being a chart-topping pop star. Wow.

Truffles: Sometimes it's hard being a chart-topping pop star, you know.
I wouldn’t know. And neither would you.

Since my town tune isn’t that old anyway, I didn’t ask anyone to sing me any new options this time.

When I went to visit Filbert, I saw that his house was completely empty! And all of a sudden, his HRA score of zero suddenly made sense.

Filbert's completely empty house.

He was planning on moving out of town, and villagers will usually pack up their furniture in boxes. But apparently, he didn’t have any furniture! The last time I visited him, he only had some fish and some clothes on display. I knew fish and bugs wouldn’t be packed up, but the same must apply to clothes as well. At any rate, I talked him out of moving.

As I walked near the river, Curt surprised me by giving me his picture!

Curt: Here... This is, uh, my picture, with legs. Here's hoping you like it.

I took it home and put it on display in my Gulliver room. His favorite quote is on the back: “I’m watching you!” 👀

Frobert’s Hot Abs?

On Wednesday, I found Pascal standing near the shore. He was wondering what it would be like if the ocean was filled with pepper instead of salt.

Pascal: Oh, maaannn. What if the ocean was filled with pepper instead of salt. Whoa.

This is a line that I’ve seen before, but I’m not surprised that Pascal is still worried about it. Having pepper oceans would really spice up his life, in a bad way. It would be nothing to sneeze at. 😉 But anyway, Pascal gave me a barrel before jumping into the salty sea and swimming away.

I ran into Frobert outside (for a change), and he commented on the eight-ball shirt I gave him last week. He said his abs look much better now, though according to him, they were already hot to begin with! 😆

Frobert: My abs look WORLDS better! And they were already hot, fribbit!

Caroline mentioned that the flea market is coming up again on Saturday, and she wanted me to show up at her house before Truffles gets there.

Caroline: You have to promise to show up before Truffles gets there...

Why? Because she doesn’t want to sell anything nice to Truffles! Wow!

Caroline: That's one person I don't want to sell anything nice to, stop it!

Today is November 1st, and I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 88,550 bells of interest this month.

The flea market was today, and I did indeed attend Caroline’s sale. However, I wasn’t interested in buying anything this time. This left her disappointed in me.

Caroline: I see how it is now...

I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Dixie” for me.

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

I posted my latest Wild World video episode today. Here it is:

See you all next week! Never Stop Crossing!

Sore Winner

Yesterday, Whitney was speaking very highly of the Able Sisters. But interestingly, she even said that they do a good impression of Blathers! Now that I’d like to hear! 😆

Whitney: They're knowledgeable, and so funny! They do the BEST Blathers impression!

Moments later, Whitney was engaged in a conversation with Curt. I listened in…

Whitney: All that matters in this world is money and appearance, on a pig!

Aside from saying all that matters is money and appearance (on a pig), she also said the value of your house matters too. Curt was insulted by this, and he said Whitney seems to be getting more snobbier every day.

Curt: You're becoming snobbier and snobbier every day, aren't you?

But before I could take Curt’s side in this argument, he called me a weirdo for listening in! How rude!

Curt: I mean, just look at that weirdo staring at us, with legs!

Curt eventually said he respected me? But the damage had been done. This weirdo is offended. 😆

Filbert gave me a new nickname, “J-bot.” That’s one of the rare nicknames that I actually like.

Today, Frobert asked me for a new shirt…so I checked the lost and found. I was surprised when Booker told me there were 15 items in there, because the maximum is usually ten.

Booker: I mean, we definitely have 15... I think.

But I soon understood why there was a discrepancy. The five extras were rotten acorns that I had left on the ground after the Acorn Festival (after I filled the recycle bin). When Gracie showed up at the plaza last week, the acorns must’ve gotten moved to the lost and found before I could properly dispose of them.

I also found an eight-ball shirt in there, and I took that back to Frobert. He promptly changed into it.

Frobert: Hey, no sneaking peeks at this bod while I do, OK, fribbit?

He liked the shirt, and he rewarded me with a baseball shirt. I don’t know why he didn’t just wear that, though. 😛

Another thing about Frobert, is that he always seems to be indoors! Since he moved in a month ago, I think I’ve only seen him outdoors once or twice! You’d think a jock frog would be outdoors more than that!

My other F*bert also had a request for me. Filbert wanted to compete to see who could catch a sea bass first, and I handed one to him immediately. He said I must really hate losing, and he called me a…sore winner? 🤔

Filbert: I'm not saying you're a sore loser... It's more like you're a sore winner!!

He rewarded me with a cabin rug, and he said that next time, he’ll actually try to win. But he can never win if I only accept the challenges after I already have what he wants. 😆
