What the heck-a-roony-doony? The game says, “Oh you need to get this guy to help out with the event.” I go to get the guy and they want 135 donuts? I’m calling shennanniganns. Somebody call Officer Barbrady stat post haste. ---

Ok, as a Scientist, I did some research on TSTO addicts and they don’t mention that you need him for the event but according to the game he does provide pelts for the event. I think I’m going to skip him because they might have better characters for their Christmas event. ---

Well, I got all the Thanksgiving crap and I’m feeling a bit bleh over here. I want more characters or I’m taking my balls and going home. ---

Well I got Bigclaw and noticed he waas put into the “Mutants” category with some other “Mutants” some of which I already had but I don’t have the 3 plant-like looking mutants of Sideshow Bob. Does anyone remember where they’re from or what episode or just even some vague idea? ---

That was from April 2015, Cecil Terwilliger, Bob’s brother, had a dastardly plan using mutant crops to take over Springfield. Got a lot of cool stuff in that plotline. You could buy those using donuts. ---

There are some that are no longer active. I think you will find out fairly quickly, when they don’t accept your request.

I finished the Thanksgiving line and the Sherri and Terri line (I got them during Halloween) and now I don’t have any tasks for the first time in I don’t know when. It feels weird not having tasks needing to be done. I imagine there will be something and a bonus tomorrow. EA did that before for Thanksgiving. ---

[Here](https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Tapped_Out_The_Most_Dangerous_Game_content_update#Deals) are the black friday deals. Starts 8amGMT (ugh, I set myself reminders and now I realize I have to change them to EST). Every hour a new item for ONE hour. Pay regular price, get a rebate. Items circle back 12 hours later ONCE. New items do that same pattern the next day. I’m kind of underwhelmed. I don’t even have most of this stuff but only one thing is on my wishlist and I think I’m only going to get one additional one (Dewey cause he’ll be 90 donuts which is good for a premium character/building combo). Last year I got Barney and a whole bunch. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > FXX is playing all 600 episodes of The Simpsons starting today at noon Eastern (so uh 2.5 hours ago) if you want to follow along and get a refresher on all the game elements 🙂 🙂 I watched a good chunk last time and haven’t changed the channel since Friends finished up around 3-4. I like the timing. A lot of shows go on break until January so it’s not like I’ll be missing a lot if I’m stuck on FXX for two weeks. ---
