Tortimer’s Pride

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 63,750 bells this month.

Truffles noticed that I was wearing the same shirt that she saw me in last week, so she asked if I had any other clothes to change into. I replied with “Fresh clothes?” and she was grossed out that I seemingly didn’t know what clean clothes were. 😆😆

Truffles: EWWWWW, sunshine! Just.... EWWWWWWW!
A pig (who rolls around in mud) is shaming me for wearing dirty clothes. Classic.

Moments later, I listened in on a conversation between Filbert and Tank. Filbert was saying that the two of them look alike, act alike, and are both…in love with themselves?

Filbert: Which means we must both be totally in love with ourselves, right?

Tank did not agree with that assessment at all.

Tank: Jerk!!! I've been telling you NO! That's not what I'm like, yip yip!

Yesterday, I decided to (finally) change my town flag from the default one, by making a very minor change to it. But the first step was to get the pattern of the existing flag from Booker. I never really thought about what the default pattern was, but now I can see it’s a turtle shell. The giveaway was the name of the pattern, Tortimer’s Pride.

The Tortimer's Pride pattern (default town flag) in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

I wanted to remove the center part and put an “F” in the middle (for Forest, of course). It doesn’t look great, but this is what I’m going with for now. It’s still a turtle shell though, so I’ll let Tortimer think he’s still the mayor. 😉 Maybe I’ll give it a more dramatic overhaul at some point in the future.

Forest's new flag. Is this correct?

I found Pascal near the shore, and his words of wisdom actually made me laugh this time. This is definitely one of his better quotes. 😆

Pascal: Some fish vacation in rivers. They say it's a breath of fresh water, man.

He gave me another barrel before he took a dive into the ocean.

Today, Caroline had fleas on her. I tried to catch them, but I kept talking to her repeatedly by mistake. 😀 But I did eventually catch the flea, and Caroline blamed the fleas on Truffles!

Caroline: Oh, no, hulaaaa! ...This is Truffles's doing, isn't it?

The best part is that she now wanted revenge on Truffles! Go for it! 😆

Caroline: But thank you so much for your help, sunshine! Now, to plot my revenge!

As for Truffles, she was actually trying to move out of town today! Even though I’m not a big fan of her, I figured she deserved to stick around at least a little longer. Her day will come, but I’ll keep her around for now.

Tank’s Secret Admirer

Yesterday, I listened in on a revealing conversation between Filbert and Caroline. Filbert started it out by asking who she thinks he will end up marrying!

Filbert: Um, Caroline...who do you think I'm gonna end up marrying?

Naturally, Caroline was confused as to why Filbert would be asking her. How would she know??

Caroline: You are, like, soooo creepy sometimes, Filbert.

Filbert felt like he had to get married, but Caroline told him she didn’t think he was the marrying kind.

Caroline: I don't really think you're, uh, the marrying kind... hulaaaa.

At town hall, Phyllis had some dialogue for me…and it some some that I’ve never seen before! She told me how she recently told Tortimer that he’s old! 😆

Phyllis: Yes, well, you are getting up there in age.

But she lucked out, because Tortimer apparently didn’t hear her.

Phyllis: But if he did... Phew! I bet he'd fire me in a heartbeat!

Even though she didn’t get fired, it made her reconsider being honest in the future. 😛

Phyllis: Telling the truth is something that you should really think twice about...

Today, Tank showed me a letter he got from a supposed secret admirer. They compared Tank’s skin to Muenster cheese from the heavens?! I hope he doesn’t really believe this is from an actual secret admirer, because this has got to be a joke. 😆

My dearest Tank, Your skin is as luminous as Muenster cheese, sliced fresh daily in the deli of the heavens. -Your Secret Admirer

When I visited Truffles, she told me it was nice to sit at home and pig out on flan. 😆

Truffles: Hi there! Sometimes, it's nice to sit at home and pig out on flan!

I’ve already been getting some accidental pig puns in City Folk lately, so getting more in Wild World is a nice little bonus.

Groin Cramp?

When I played on Tuesday, I got my weekly HRA score in the mail. Filbert’s pic has boosted my house score again, and I’m now up to 290,500 points.

I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out a dorado!

Whoa! A golden fish...!?

I knew it was a rare and valuable fish, but I didn’t realize how much it sold for: 15,000 bells! Nice! 😎 Later, I also caught a giant snakehead…which only sold for 5,500 bells.

Yesterday, I spoke with Drift in the morning. With a smile on his face, he told me about his…groin cramp?! I didn’t see that conversation coming.

Drift: Morning! They say the early bird gets the worm.
Drift: All I got was this lousy groin cramp, rrrrribbit!

Saharah was in town, and she needed my help making some deliveries. So I took some wallpaper over to Pelly (for Phyllis), and then I took some carpeting to Tom Nook. Saharah then rewarded me with a shoji screen.

Caroline looks on as Saharah says "Ah, yes! That is very rare!"

When I checked the recycle bin at town hall, I was shocked to find a computer in there! Who throws away a computer? Well, it’s mine now. 😛

Finding a computer in the recycle bin at town hall.

Today, it was raining in Forest. Octavian offered me “a little somethin’-somethin’.”

Octavian: Right now, I'm holding a little somethin'-somethin'.

He wanted me to pay 940 bells for it, without even giving me a clue as to what it was. I wasn’t interested, because I figured it was probably an overpriced shirt. 😛

Meanwhile, Truffles called the rain “mean.”

Truffles: Oh, boy, I don't usually say this about ANYTHING, but rain is so mean!

But Tank had the weirdest dialogue of the day. He told me he had just rammed his head into a tree, and he hallucinated seeing a fight between an alien and Eloise in a leotard. I think you may need to see a doctor, Tank.

Tank: It was a space alien! ...And Eloise was fighting it in a leotard!

If you haven’t seen the Youtube Short I posted recently, here it is. It’s me scaring tree bugs away…and then catching them.
