The Latest Gossip

Last night, I started up the game and left it sitting briefly. I was checking something before I picked up the controller. But the game quickly captured my attention when I heard a UFO flying overhead! I grabbed the controller and chased it down, but it was too late to get my slingshot out. One of these years, I’ll shoot it down again. 😛

Gulliver's UFO flies overhead in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

You know what’s weird, though? I get occasional UFO sightings, but I can’t even remember the last time I saw a balloon present in this game! In fact, it’s been almost three years since I’ve mentioned a balloon present in the blog! And if I shot one down, I almost surely would have mentioned it.

I played again today, and Big Top was talking about how Benedict and Antonio are such close friends. He said that they were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday. But that wasn’t true at all! I even checked my recorded footage from yesterday, and they were wearing completely different outfits. 😛

Big Top: They were wearing matching wallet-print outfits yesterday!

He said it was lame of them. It sounds like Big Top is just jealous of their friendship.

Big Top: It was sooooooo, well, lame, actually!

Katrina was in town, so I entered her tent to get my fortune told. She dealt the “midnight” card and then started talking about a fox with a knack for art. I started seeing Redd when I realized I paid 100 bells for this nonsense. 😉 As far as I could tell, her fortune didn’t mean a thing. She’s a con artist just like Crazy Redd. 😛

Katrina: A fox with a knack for art paints images on a piece of litmus paper...

Today’s gossip came from Bunnie. She said that Big Top called Margie by his ex’s name, and they’ve been fighting ever since.

Bunnie: So the whole fight started when Big Top called Margie...

Bunnie: his ex's name by accident, tootie!!!

My next Wild World video episode will be up in the next few days, so keep an eye out for it!

Clean That Pigsty!

May has arrived, and Mom sent me a nice letter talking about the warm May sun…and sandwiches! 🥪

Dear Jeff, The warm May sun and gentle breeze make me want to dust off the picnic basket. Sandwiches for all! -Mom

The flea market was held today, and Rolf couldn’t wait to buy my stuff. When I ran into him near town hall, he ordered me to clean my pigsty of a house!

Rolf: I'm gonna shop for stuff at your house next, so you'd better clean that pigsty!

He seemed a bit angry…though I’m not sure why.

Rolf: I'm gonna be a guest in your house, dadblastit! Grrrolf!
No you’re not.

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t care for flea market days, because animals in their homes only care about selling you things. They won’t just talk normally. When I told Margie I didn’t want to buy anything, she got depressed. So when I went into Bunnie’s house, I decided to buy something just to be nice.

Bunnie: Oh, YAY! Well, you can just touch what you want, like, whenever you're ready!

I asked about the lovely chair, and she sold it to me for 650 bells.

Antonio was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I got him to change his mind on the first try. I still need his pic before I let him go.

Antonio: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, wee baby!

I went down to the Roost, where K.K. Slider was performing. He played Cafe K.K. for me, and I enjoyed the show.

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

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time.
