Impossible Tourney

Last night (Friday night), there was a heavy meteor shower underway. Maelle said that the clear, starry sky allowed her to see the Big Veggie Chili and the Big Pasta Salad. I’m guessing those are supposed to be constellations (like the Big Dipper)?

Maelle: Oh! I think I see the Big Pasta Salad!

They’re not constellations that I’ve created, though. The game must use random food names for them.

I played again today, and it was fishing tournament day. Believe it or not, I was playing early enough to actually participate for a change! However, I got some bad news before I whipped out my fishing rod. Big Top boasted that he was the proud papa of a 74.6-inch tuna that was currently in the lead.

Big Top: The fish in first place is the 74.6-inch tuna.

You can’t get more deflating than that. I gave it a try, catching several sea bass; but they were all in the 30-50 inch range. My biggest was 46.5 inches. Sea bass just aren’t even in the same ballpark as a tuna. You need to get lucky with a very rare fish like a stringfish or arapaima…and most of those aren’t even in season right now.

Even Curt seemed to recognize the futility of competing in this tourney.

Curt: Does the competition this time around seem unusually tough, fuzzball?

I never managed to catch a tuna or anything larger, so I failed miserably at this tournament. 😛 But at least Chip ate well, I suppose.

Chip: BAAARP!

I found a total of five items in the recycle bin today! In the afternoon, I picked up a kitchen sink, a hamster cage, and a red clock. Then tonight, I found a barber’s pole and a fern fossil. It’s rare to get a haul that big!

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Update: I titled this blog entry Impossible Tourney, but now I’m wishing I would have called it Fishin’ Impossible (like Mission: Impossible) instead. Oh well. 😛
