Bones Day

Yesterday, Goose challenged me to see who could catch a grasshopper first. It was already too late in the day for grasshoppers to still be out, so I declined his request. So naturally, he called me lame. -.-

Goose: OK, OK, I gotcha... I didn't know you were so... lame, oh cluck.
Hey Goose, ever hear of a chicken with its head cut off? 🪓

Butch was trying to move out of town, but I changed his mind for him.

Today, as I was starting up the game, I was treated to the sight of Deena falling into a pitfall! 😂 I didn’t even bury it there, it was just today’s random pit…so I could enjoy the show completely guilt-free! 😀

Deena, stuck in a pitfall: Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!

There was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest tonight, which included five or six shooting stars during my ~20-minute session. I wished on a few of them, even though you only need to wish on one to get a gift from Wishy.

Wishing on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

We’ll see what I get next week!

Today was Bones’s birthday, so I headed over to his house for his birthday party. For his present, I gave Bones a bath. Well, a bathtub.

Bones: Hmm... This must be a claw-foot tub! I'll treasure this forever!

In return, he gave me a blue tartan (shirt). Goose was also at the party; I hope he doesn’t try to turn my new buddy Bones against me!

I posted my latest Wild World episode today! It shows highlights from June 24th through Bones’s arrival last week. I hope you enjoy it!

Record Breaking Bones

Today, Goose informed me that Bob and Peanut were currently fighting. Goose thinks it’s because Bob stole some of Peanut’s flowers!

Goose: I'll bet it's because Bob stole some of Peanut's flowers!

I doubt there’s any truth to that, bud. 😛

I found a new house in town, and I was pleasantly surprised to find my buddy Bones inside!

Bones: Hello. My name is Bones, yip yip.

Bones and Butch in the same town? Pretty awesome! They’re two of my favorite dogs in the whole series (along with Goldie, of course). But the addition of Bones has more significance than just that: Bones is now the first villager that I’ve had in all five main Animal Crossing games! All five versions of Forest have had Bones at some point!

Bones currently lives in this town and in New Horizons. In City Folk, he moved out just last year. He lived in my New Leaf and GameCube as recently as late 2018. So he’s been in all five towns in under four years!

Over behind town hall, Goose and Olivia were having a conversation. Olivia asked if he was good at lifting things, and Goose bragged that he was the strongest guy in town. 😛

Goose: Yeah, I'm pretty much the beefiest dude in Forest, oh cluck!
I seriously doubt that, especially coming from a chicken.

Olivia then asked if he was good at mindlessly following directions like a robot. Goose proudly said yes. 😂

Olivia: Excellent. And are you good at mindlessly following directions, it's a lie?

So Olivia told him to come move some furniture…and even her entire house! The funniest part is that she called him a “manbot.” 🤖 Actually, I think that would make him a robot chicken.

Olivia: And while you're at it, manbot, just pick up and move the whole house.

Hugh’s Mistake

On Monday, I was disappointed to find a goodbye letter from Hugh in the mail. 🙁

So, Jeff... I can't believe I'm moving! Sorry, but I need to move someplace with a 24-hour buffet! See ya! -Yours, Hugh
He always did like to pig out.

Not many villagers have grown on me as much as Hugh did. When he moved into Forest just five months ago, I was very neutral towards him. But I started to like him more and more, and he had become my third-favorite villager in town (behind just Bob and Butch). I’m sad to see him go. He’s made a hugh huge mistake by leaving town. 😛

Peanut asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “nutty.”

Peanut: Nutty! Nutty! Nutty! Nutty!

Today, Saharah was in town (on hump day, no less), and she wanted me to make some deliveries for her.

Saharah: All my addresses...gone! My deliveries!

I delivered packages to Pelly (for Phyllis), Blathers, and Tom Nook. Even though three deliveries is more than the two she normally asks for, it was made easier because of where she was standing. If you imagine a triangle connecting town hall, the museum, and Nookington’s, she was pretty much right in the center. So all three deliveries were extremely short walks.

Blathers: Hoo! Indeed, hootie hoo! I shall hazard a guess... From Saharah, eh wot?

When I was done, Saharah offered me a tropical vista or a sandlot. I chose the wallpaper.
