Strangetown Extras: April Fish!

[strangetomato]

Did you know that the practical joking element of April Fools Day was most likely started in France? In France (or French cultures, like in French Canada) the person being fooled is referred to as a poisson d'avril, or April fish. This originally had something to do with the zodiac, and the French traditionally celebrated April Fools Day by placing dead fish on the backs of their friends. (No, I'm not making this up!)

Fish fight!




Johnny: You're going down, Grunt!

Ripp: Ooooof!




Johnny: Oh, NICE! A direct hit!

Ripp: Owwww! Watch the face, Johnny!

Johnny: Fish in the face!




Ripp: I'll bet you'd fucking love that, huh, Johnny? A big face full of fish?

Johnny: Don't get it in my mouth! I'm a vegetarian!

Ripp: That doesn't count, John.




Johnny: Face your defeat, Ripp. You're no match for me.

Ripp: Yeah, you have all the fucking skills, Johnny. Nobody slings a fish around quite like you do.

Johnny: Good workout! Now I don't need to go for a jog.

Ripp: Why jog when you can play with giant fish?




Ripp: Another challenger, hey? You'll be sorry, Phi...

Ophelia: Oh, we'll see about that!

Ripp: *gets pummeled*




Ripp: You call that a fish slap?! You hit like a girl, Phi!

Ophelia: So do you!

Ripp: You'll pay for that remark!

Ophelia: Bring it on!




Ripp: It's easy to hit such a nice, round target!

Ophelia: Hey! Watch it!

Ripp: *thinking* Such a sweet, sweet target...




Ophelia: It's not THAT big!




Ripp: Nothing wrong with a little junk on the trunk, Phi. Nothing at all... *stares*

Ophelia: You're an April fool alright. Get your face out of there!

Ripp: This is my favourite day of the year. Fuckin' sweet...




Ophelia: You're in for it!

Ripp: Oh, that's right! Punish me.








Oh, and I almost forgot... the mod that turns your pillow fights into fish fights can be found here.

Wish I had saw this sooner- I love it! I already find all the autonomous pillowfights in my game (almost everyone in my next generation of sims is really high in playful points) entertaining enough, but this would definitely make me rofl whenever I saw it!

By the way, it must have gotten buried in your friends list but the entry where Ripp gets "inspired" by the fishies is up.

It's a pretty great mod, but I don't think I'd be able to tolerate this in my game all of the time. It's fun to throw it in there from time to time for a laugh, though.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up! Sorry I missed it.

Yeah, I'd probably get sick of it after a while too. You're welcome! :)
