No Clocks for Curly

Another fishing tournament was held today, and I got the news from Chip (after the tourney was over, of course). He told me it was a black bass-only tournament, and Roscoe was the winner with a 22.2-inch catch.

Chip: Roscoe from here in Forest! Solid fishing! But not so much for you. Nyuuk nyuk!

At 8:00 tonight, I dropped into the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. K.K. performed K.K. D & B for me; that’s the song he played for me in New Horizons last week. (But the song title is spaced out more in this game.)

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. D & B.

Curly asked me to look for some clocky furniture for him, and I agreed to help. So he told me to go on and “get into gear.” πŸ˜† I don’t know if this pun was intentional or a coincidence, but I appreciated it all the same.

Curly: So, I'm taking you at your word, OK? Go on and get into gear! Thanks, nyoink!

But even though I intended to help Curly out, I was having trouble locating a clock. I checked the recycle bin, the lost-and-found, and my house. (The only clocks I had in storage were ones belonging to seasonal sets, that can’t be reordered. And I didn’t want to break up my collection for a simple favor.)

However, I knew there would be two items hidden in trees, so I went around town shaking trees. But when you deal with trees, you also deal with bees. I caught the first one I encountered, but the 2nd one stung me. As for the furniture items, I found a tiki torch and a reel-to-reel. It looks like Curly won’t be getting his clock any time soon.

When I spoke with Tom, he reacted to my swollen, bee-stung face. He told me not to run into an angry swarm of bees, or Jerry. πŸ˜†

Tom: Here's a hint for the future: try not to run directly into the swarm of angry bees, or Jerry!

It’s been months since I gave Tom that catchphrase, and I think this is the first time it truly worked out well. Better late than never!
