The Lonely Island Chronicles: Episode 6 – 10,000 (Sims) Maniacs

Lonely Island was created and owned by Rflong7/13, but was taken over by some undead Simmies for a bit of peace and quiet after involuntary resurrection from Ivy Hill Graveyard. It includes some others escaping from their own ‘life issues’, and is a sanctuary for the much maligned Butterfly of Doom and many other misunderstood species of Sims nature.

Today is Wednesday.

Yesterday was Tuesday.

And this is the date – March 28!

‘Do you know what is so special about today, readers? I bet Cloverstardrop knows!’

‘Bleh, wut? Special about today?’

‘Today is National “Sit On Your Fanny And Watch Every Single Episode Of Pinky And The Brain” Day? Cuz Switchy hath the snuffles and feels like derp.’

‘Er no, that’s not it, but perhaps Willow will know?’

‘It is the day that I will finally master the Gnossiennes! What did Satie mean when he wrote Du bout de la pensée and Postulez en vous même as the instructions on the sheet music as to time? Goats and monkeys, it doesn’t even have any bar!’

‘Considering Satie’s fondness for the other sort of bars, there’s irony for you! Haily, I’m counting on you girl to put everyone in the picture about why today is so special!’

‘Uh, pardon? Special about today?’

‘Ah, but of course, everyone knows that one – it’s the day my pot plants go for their black belts in Sim Fu. I’ve been training them for months now, and I think they’re most of them are about ready to step up to the final Dan.’

Eh, WTF?

‘And if they all pass, as a special treat Smedley Bracegirdle here will perform for them the entire of Shakespeare’s sonnets.’

Er, isn’t Haily overlooking the small snag in that he is dead, indeed not just dead but a skeleton?

‘Nynnnng….. dead? Dead? My dear mistaken popinjay, an actor and artiste of my calibre and talent dead? The absurdity of it! Tish and pish, I am not dead, I am merely resting, as all we great actors do between roles. Why, my performances in ‘Hamlet’ at the Lyceum, the Globe and the Connaught were declared only last month in The Stage to be the wonder and the triumph of the season!’

‘It’s true you know – no prizes for guessing though that he was playing Yorick! But since none of them appear to know, today Jazz-Hands went over the 10 000 hits mark for the first time!’

‘Granted in this day and age it’s not that big a deal, especially as it has taken us about a year and a half to reach it!’

‘But for a very part-time blog, you know, that’s not so bad! How many Sims 3 blogs are started and don’t even last an entire year?’

‘Including of course a certain bunch of bloggers and their three forums that had amongst them cretins threatening the Jazz-Hands blog with legal action at one stage! Where others fail, Jazz-Hands will prevail was the promise – and it was the promise that was kept. Innit marvellous?’

‘Wheeee! Didn’t expect that to happen! To go up that high I mean. I made them a while ago, using a formula made from Butterfly of Doom eggs and seagull guano.’

‘Bugger, just missed that seagull! Take that Jonathan Livingston, that’ll teach you for crapping on my washing and stealing my Doritos!’

‘HOORAY! BOOM BABY!’

‘Innit marvellous! Something I invented that actually worked! Mind you, let’s hope Rflong7/13 doesn’t get to hear about these, or everyone will start panicking we’re building a missile base here or something!’

‘Soooooo, the Jazz-Handers are producing and test-firing Weapons Of Mass Destruction? Maaaaaaaaaarey interesting!’

Oh horse off, you nag!

‘Oh, one final thing – many thanks to everyone that’s ever come here, plugged Jazz-Hands, downloaded from here or said thank you for whatever reason this place has given you something to smile about. Jazz-Hands is here to stay!’

‘The game will never be over, because we’re keeping the dream alive.’
