November Tourney

The November fishing tournament was held today, and it was a carp-only tournament.

Roscoe: The fish for today is the majestic carp.

Robin had a bit of an attitude about the tournament. She said she hopes I have fun participating, because I don’t have a chance of winning. She felt like she had it all wrapped up!

Robin: I hope you have fun. Because I'm going to win, and that way we both get something out of today!
Don’t count your chicks before they hatch.

Roscoe had a funny line about the tournament, saying competition is what separates us from the…other animals. 😆

Roscoe: Competition is what separates us from the... other animals. Giddyup!

I initially caught two carps, but neither of them topped the high score at the time: Antonio’s 34.9-inch carp. I had caught about 20 fish and wasn’t finding many carps, so I decided to keep going until I caught a third one. But once I did, it measured at 37.1 inches; big enough to take over the top spot!

Chip: This could be a good one... Aaand it is! A new record! Gravy!

Chip gave me an orange chair for my prize. However, there was still a couple hours to go in the competition. I turned off the game for a while, but returned later. A letter was in my mailbox, congratulating me on my win! (Take that, Robin!) A silver trophy was attached to the letter.

When I spoke with Chip again, I noticed an error in his dialogue!

Chip: Ah! Oh, boy. We stopped accepting entries for the A carp Fishing Tourney at 6:00!

The A carp Fishing Tourney? I’ll have to include that in my next Typos & Mistakes video.

I then went over to the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Metal for me. 🤘

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

I should also point out that today is the 16th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release! I’ll be posting my annual slideshow of best screenshots in a few days, but I also posted a new City Folk Moments video yesterday. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

I’ll see you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!

Robin’s Hood

November is here now, and that means mushrooms are growing all around town. And one each day will be mush furniture in disguise, like this mush closet here.

WHOA!

I found a new house in the spot where Gabi lived earlier this year. Inside, I found Robin the…robin. However, there was no sign of Batman.

Robin: Well, the rumors are true! I am the newly arrived Robin that the whole town is talking about!
Welcome to the ‘hood, Robin!

Robin has lived in Forest before, back in 2012-13. And Robin’s presence has given new meaning to Midge’s greeting, “We’re all birds.” 😆

Midge: Oh, hello, pop star. We're all birds!

Admittedly, Midge and Robin are the only birds in town right now. But that greeting will start to look prophetic if more birds continue to flock to town.

When I put some bells into my savings account, my balance reached 65 million bells.

Your current balance is 65,000,000 bells.

Later on, I learned that Antonio locked himself out of his house. His catchphrase fit in quite well with his sentence, and he seemed to be asking if his key could be in a hole.

Antonio: I wonder if I dropped it when I was doing inverted fruit-bat squats outside... Could it be, in a hole?

Of course, the key is actually in a river, not a hole. And I didn’t bother going fishing for it. Sorry, Antonio. 😛 Maybe you can sniff it out yourself.

I walked over to the Roost and asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed Aloha K.K. for me.

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

When I rode the bus out to the city, I ran into Drift there (one of my current Wild World villagers). He wished that just once, he could meet a date in front of the fountain. That does sound nice.

Drift: If only once, I wish I could meet a date out in front of the fountain, brah!

I guess he’s hoping to make a splash in the dating pool.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!
