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. 😛

No One Moves in Like Gaston

Curt asked me to find him some new clothes tonight, and I told him I’d help out. He said he knew I was the type who couldn’t bear to see a friend in need. I’m sure the pun wasn’t intended, but I appreciated it regardless. 😛

Curt: I knew you were the type who can't bear to see a friend in a pinch! Thanks a ton, fuzzball!

I ran into Gwen, and she told me she was going to get herself a deluxe tumbler. She said that spoiling herself with “deluxe” things help her pass the time between events.

Gwen: There aren't any more events for a while, so desiring deluxe things helps me pass the time!

Even though Wolfgang is gone, his house was still there! Well, at least there was a house in the same spot. It belongs to Gaston now! He may be fairly unpopular, but I like him!

Gaston: Huh? How did you get in here?
I hid in your mustache.

I rolled up a snowman, and unlike the one from last week, he was pleased with his appearance. ⛄

Snowman: Sniff... Snuffle... I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so emotional, but this is a big moment for me.

Maelle was enjoying some coffee at the Roost, and she asked how much cream and sugar I like in my coffee. I said “a lot,” and she had jokes. 😛

Maelle: So, you're really saying that you take your cream and sugar...with a TEENY amount of coffee?!
…but yeah, pretty much. 😂

When I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, he played Cafe K.K. for me and Maelle (and Brewster, I suppose).

K.K. Slider performs as Maelle enjoys some coffee in the background.

At the lost and found, I found a flame shirt. I took it over to Curt, and he lived up to his name. He got mad because it wasn’t a “subtle” shirt. He never said the shirt had to be subtle!!

Curt: Whoa, whoa, hold it! What part of this thing says subtle to you?

So I subtly pushed his butt into a pitfall.

Curt: Whaa! Why isn't the ground doing its job?!
You’re welcome.

Brainy Snowman

I received Wolfgang’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight. So long, ya big grump. I’m sure we’ll meet again, in one game or another.

Jeff, Well, I'm finally moving out of Forest tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, you're the only reason I stayed as long as I did. Thanks, pal. -Your pal, Wolfgang

I found a BB shirt in the recycle bin, and I decided to put it on. January is almost over, so I guess I can retire my New Year’s shirt by now. 😛

Jeff wears the BB shirt in town hall.

I immediately took the 2022 shirt and put it in my house. I didn’t want to accidentally sell it or anything…especially since I don’t think I used my other characters to get a spare this year.

There were two snowballs near Nook ‘n’ Go, so I rolled them up into an ugly snowman (on purpose). 😛 Mr. Frosty was not pleased with my work. 😂

(Misshapen) Snowman: NOOOOOOOO!

He should be thanking me for bringing him to life at all! Besides, having a big head makes him look like he has a big brain! 😉

(Spoiler alert: He doesn’t. But don’t tell him that.)

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. I asked around, and only Maelle and Lucky helped me out.

Lucky: So, sure, go ahead and take it. Between you and me, though, it makes a pretty tasty ice-cream cone.

Fortunately, I also had one old wallpaper left over in storage. So I took all three over to Saharah for some rare wallpaper. In return, she gave me a basement wall…which I was not thrilled about.

Saharah: here...a basement wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

I found two of today’s fossils, I caught a tuna, and I sold a few pieces of fruit. Once I sold everything, I had enough money to make my savings account reach 49 million bells.

Your current balance is 49,000,000 bells.

I took the bus out to the city, and the entrance to the Resetti Surveillance Center was open once again. But just like last week, there was nobody inside! Oh well.

That’s all I have for tonight, but I’ll be putting together the next City Folk Moments video soon. Keep an eye out for it, and have a great weekend!
