Nice Ear Hair

When I saw that Rolf had his belongings packed up in boxes tonight, I (momentarily) panicked. But then I realized that this is Wild World, not one of the other Animal Crossing games, and I can simply ask him to stay. 😛 It took a few tries, but that’s okay. I don’t want Rolf going anywhere.

Rolf: This is awkward. You caught me in the act. How'd you know I was skipping town?

I listened in on a conversation between Big Top and Benedict, and they were having a big lovefest because they like the same foods. In particular, they mentioned coconut custard and turnip casserole. I think I’ll just quietly walk away before things get any more awkward. 😛

Benedict, to Big Top: We're always of the same mind and belly, buhk buhk!

Speaking of bad taste, Margie was out looking for a cockroach tonight. I tried to keep an eye out, but I didn’t spot one…at least not after she mentioned it. I did see one a bit earlier in the evening, but I don’t typically collect cockroaches just for fun. 😛

Margie: It's a lot harder to find a cockroach than I'd thought.

Antonio said that he’s practicing buttering people up for Yay Day, which is coming up soon. But he’s not very good at giving compliments. For example, nobody likes hearing about their nice ear hair. 😛

Antonio: My flattery stinks. Nobody wants to hear they have nice ear hair, I guess.

I made myself a snowman, but it wasn’t easy because the snowballs were halfway across town. Once the snowdude came to life, he did a Santa Claus impression!

Snowman: Happy Snowman Day! Ho ho ho!

But then the jolly fellow’s attitude quickly froze over: He said I should have paid more attention to his overall shape and balance. Nah, I should have picked up some weeds and given the ungrateful lump of ice some “nice” ear hair. Go suck a lump of coal, snowboy. 😛

Have a good day, everyone! May your snowpeople be perfect and pleasant!

Bells and Whistles

Yesterday, Bunnie tried to sell me a mystery item for 1,350 bells. But the interesting thing is that she capitalized the word bells in the phrase “bells and whistles.” Even if you capitalize bells as a currency, it still shouldn’t be capitalized in a general idiom like this.

Bunnie: Anyway, the price is...1,350 Bells! And that's with ALL the Bells and whistles!

I declined the offer, but Bunnie was nice enough to give me the item for free! It was a playroom wall.

I rolled up a snowman, and unlike last week’s snowdude, this one was perfect.

Snowman: By Jack Frost's beard! L-look at me! LOOK AT ME! I'm PERFECT!
Look at you? Sorry, but some-Bunnie else caught my eye.

Wendell was in town, and I caught a bitterling for him to eat. In return, he gave me a north pattern, which is just a vertical road pattern.

The north pattern (road design) from Wendell the walrus.

With the vertical and horizontal road patterns, along with the intersection and one of the corners, I could actually start putting up some road paths around town if I wanted. However, I’m not planning on doing that anytime soon.

Today, the snowman sent me a snowman chair, which I put next to my snowman sofa. It’s taking me years to complete this snowman room. 😂

Antonio was talking about the fishing tournament coming up soon, and he said I should drink some protein-laced Turkish coffee to tone my arms and be ready to fish.

Antonio: You'd better drink protein-laced Turkish coffee to get prepped for it!

I made a delivery from Benedict to Margie, and I scored a cabana table for helping out.

I recently posted my latest Wild World episode (#33), which shows highlights from October through December.

Punch That Music Box!

I received my monthly bank statement in the mail today, and I earned 3,160 bells in interest this time.

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, so I rushed upstairs to see what it was. Turns out, it was a robo-stereo. Definitely not what I was hoping for, but I bought it anyway (for 1,760 bells) since I didn’t have one in my catalog.

Timmy: You have a keen eye! That's our spotlight product...the robo-stereo!

Back outside, I rolled up today’s snowballs to make a snowman. Unfortunately, I didn’t make him perfectly; he complained that he wasn’t snowman-ish enough. 😛

Snowman: Y'know, I always though I'd be a little more...uh... snowman-ish, y'know?

Mathilda had some dialogue for me that I don’t recall seeing before. She said she found a broken music box on the beach, and she asked for my help in fixing it. I told her to punch it.

Mathilda: But I think it's broken, 'cause it doesn't play. Can you fix it?

She apparently took my advice, and the punch knocked out a few music notes…

Mathilda is surprised to hear some (bad?) music notes after punching a music box in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

But she wasn’t happy with the result. She said if she knew it sounded like that, she would have thrown it away too. And she didn’t want to talk to me any more, because she was mad. Hey, don’t blame me! You did ask for my advice! And I never claimed to be a broken music box expert!

I met up with Rolf outside, and he just randomly insulted Gracie’s hair. Haha, I’m not sure what that has to do with anything, but okay, tiger.

Rolf: ...her hair actually looks pretty bad, don't you think, grrrolf?

Antonio was all packed up and ready to move out. I think I would have let him go, except for one problem: I don’t have his picture yet. So I talked him into sticking around a little longer.
