Mysteries of Pokemon Daycare

purity: i solved a pokemon mystery
purity: but i'll never have time to tell the world
purity: i know how they get the pokemon in the day care to level up
Kyatt: uh oh
purity: that sweet old couple runs a sweatshop --the pokemon are making running shoes
Kyatt: hmm
Kyatt: that's probably why they level up the more you walk
purity: yeah, its why you have to walk the eggs
Kyatt: oh, you're gonna need some good hatching shoes too

some days later….

Kyatt: oh, i started sketching that thing you were talking about
Kyatt: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3368/picture1idn.png
manny: HE IS WATCHING
Kyatt: i realized gold has some ridiculous shoes
Mars: thats who makes the characters ugly accessories huh
Kyatt: they give you eggs and tell you to wander around for them to hatch
Kyatt: which, i can assume, wears out shoes like whoa
Kyatt: so now they have shoes to sell made by pokemon they're getting paid to employ
Kyatt: it's the perfect racket
purity: thats how the pokemon's levels raise in daycare, mars
purity: they're being forced to make running shoes in the underground sweatshop
purity: its why you NEVER SEE YOURS in that happy fenced in play yard
manny: !!!
Mars: thats why half the moves they learn always seem to be sewing related
purity: hmmm

Animal Crossing - City Folk...A Brand New Kind of Roommate

Now, I got a copy of this game for christmas from my adorable and thoughtful and all around marvelous daughter, Ivy. I've been playing for a while and I really love this game - I can't wait for Ivy to get a TV that works so I can get her a copy, and we can play over the wireless connection.

Anways, Jason decided to move into my town, because the game supports up to 4 players...opening up a whole new vista of roommate shenanigans. We've had a year and a half to work out the differences that arise with actual living arrangements, and now we get to quibble over Animal Crossing.

Jason, ravaging the flowers I planted near my town gate: "Hey, free flowers!" [yoink]

Me, watching: "HEY I planted those on purpose!!"

Jason:  "Oh." [puts them back] "For some reason that escaped me."

or

[Jason pokes around the inside of my house in the game]

Me: "Stop looking up my dress while I'm sleeping!!"

or

[Villager asks Jason for a new greeting]

Jason: "N-o-o-k [] s-u-c-k-s-!"

or

Jason, fishing: "Come on, tuna! Be a tuna!"

Me (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "It's not a toona"

This is going to be interesting.
