Truffles Not a Pig?

On Wednesday, I came across a mistake in the game. Curt told me that “you’re house is impressive,” when he should’ve said “your house.” Shame on you, Curt. 😛

Curt: You've done good, kid. I have to admit, you're house is pretty impressive!
“You are house is pretty impressive!”

When I spoke with Truffles, she told me I have to take lost items to Copper and Bookier…even though that’s not even possible.

Truffles: You've got to take lost stuff to Copper and Booker!

I shot down a balloon present, and it contained a snowboard. I must’ve really shredded that balloon.

Filbert was being his usual weird self, telling me I was alluring like a soup bowl. 🍲

Filbert: You're so brilliant... And alluring, too, like a soup bowl!

Yesterday, Truffles was telling me about how she loves candy. Nothing wrong with that…but then she tried to explain that she’s not a pig! Oh really?? Since when? 😆

Truffles: Wait: I'm really not a pig. I just like candy. Is that such a crime?!

I’ve seen that dialogue before, but not from an actual pig. 🐷

Today, Drift asked me what was wrong with my face. But this wasn’t after getting stung by a bee or anything, so I don’t know what the problem was. I shouldn’t be any uglier than I already was yesterday! 😆

Drift: Yo, bunny! WHOA! Man... What happened to your face...

He followed it up with “Never mind. My bad,” without explaining.

I was playing in the morning, and Curt hadn’t even woken up for the day yet.

Sign on Curt's house: I'm catching some z's now. Wake me and REGRET IT!

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

Caroline: Phew! That stuff works fast! I don't feel like I'm going to pass out anymore!

When I ran into Drift again, he wanted to play rock, paper, scissors. I chose scissors, and he picked paper…which meant that I won. (Scissors cut paper.) But he didn’t see it that way.

Drift: PAPER IN YOUR FACE! War har har! I won!

He apparently didn’t know the rules; he thought he won because he had more fingers out than I did.

Drift: But I have more fingers out than you! That's not how it works?

After realizing his mistake, he gave me my prize: a microwave.

I posted my latest Wild World video today, episode #77. Check it out!

Flea, Catch, Phrase

When I played on Tuesday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 78,600 bells in interest this month.

Drift was wondering why Pelly and Phyllis never hang out together, despite the fact that they both work at town hall…and they’re sisters.

Drift: Weird. Pelly and Phyllis work at the town hall together AND they're sisters...
Drift: But you really never see 'em hanging out together, do ya?

It’s a good question, but I guess they get on each other’s nerves. Not only because of their very different personalities, but there’s also that whole Pete situation too.

It was Filbert’s birthday, so I went over to his house for his birthday party. I gave him a mermaid statue for his gift, and he seemed to enjoy it.

Filbert: Wowee! Hey, lemme guess! A mermaid statue!

As you can see in that photo, Tank was also at the party. He said he was about to do his “Muscle Hustle” dance!

Tank: Here comes my famous Muscle Hustle dance!

I got out of there before Tank did anything my eyes would regret seeing. But happy birthday, Filbert! 🎂🎈

Robin was sick with a cold Tuesday and Wednesday, and I gave her some medicine both days. By today, she was feeling better. She gave me a fancy carpet to thank me for the medicine.

I listened in on an interesting conversation between Tank and Truffles in the rain today. Tank had heard that Truffles wanted to be Forest’s official cheerleader, so he wanted to hear her cheer. It was…odd.

Truffles: Forest, it's the best! So get off your tush n' join the lovefest!

Those two sentences made up her entire cheer. Tank was not impressed.

Tank: No, no, no! Where's your spirit? Where's your FLAIR?!

Tank thought that he could do better, so he gave it a try.

Tank: Forest, can't be beat! So get outta your house and hit the streets!

But he was just getting started. His cheer had four page of lines, and to be fair, he really brought it.

Tank: Two, four, six, eight! What town is super great? Forest! WOOOO!
This part wasn’t odd, it was even.

Not only was his cheer longer and better, but he had much more enthusiasm. Truffles was speechless. I guess Tank is now Forest’s official cheerleader. 😆

You know how villagers’ catchphrases will be temporary replaced with things like “itchy” and “yowee” when they have fleas? Well, this is still true even when they’re asking for a new catchphrase. Caroline asked me for a phrase to replace “sheesh,” which of course wasn’t her catchphrase. I told her to say “stop it” instead.

Pick a phrase! >stop it!

Caroline tried to confirm what I told her, but that too was replaced by the flea-related “yow” instead. 😆

Caroline: ...So, you think I should run around shouting yow all the time?

If any players didn’t know fleas caused this, they would surely be confused by this whole conversation.

Caroline: From now on, you'll hear nothing but sheesh from me, eep.

But I then caught her flea to cure her speech condition…and she told me to stop it. As she should.

Caroline: Anyway, did you need something, stop it?

I don’t recall ever seeing that happen before, but it was pretty amusing!

I’ll see you all next week. Never Stop Crossing!

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!
