End of the Road

After the user logs in on April 13th: As soon as we get home, I have some chores for you. Are they real jobs or just those six second thingies? Homer, what's that clunking noise? I'm probably having another heart attack. Let me pull into Flanders' driveway and you can use his defibrillator on me. Then a couple weeks of paid time off thanks to Obamacare and I'll hatch a new get-rich-quick scheme and— I don't think that's your heart. I think it's the car. The car? We can't afford that! It's gotta be my heart! Give me ten ccs of pork rinds, stat! Task: Make Homer Try to Induce a Heart Attack (6s, Parking Lot Lot Lot, Parking Lot, Shops or Simpson House) Task: Make Marge Take Away the Pork Rinds (6s, Parking Lot Lot Lot, Parking Lot, Shops or Simpson House) Stop being so dramatic! It's probably just a loose carburetor. Cars still have carburetors, right? You're asking the wrong guy. Well, it can't be anything too terrible. We always take our cars in for regular maintenance. Uh... Homer, you've been taking your car in to get it serviced on schedule, right? Again, you're asking the wrong guy. Pull into that service station right now! Wouldn't you rather just let me take care of this while you make dinner? Now YOU'RE asking the wrong guy. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Shattered Dreams Mystery Box

After starting Of Clunkers and Junkers Pt. 1: I'm depressed. I can't even do things I normally love...like homework. Is this about not getting that thing you wanted for your birthday? No, it's way bigger than that. This is about climate change, and wealth inequality, and voting rights, and... ...and why didn't you get me the Malibu Stacy Hollywood Beach House? You already have the Malibu Beach House and the Hollywood Penthouse. What does Hollywood Beach even mean? It's a place in Oxnard. It's where people in Los Angeles go to get away from all the good restaurants and culture. I'm sorry, sweetie, but life is full of disappointments. You have to find coping mechanisms. Like how Dad drinks, or how Bart always gets in fights? That's why they do those things?! Actually I was thinking of my shattered dreams box. The one I keep in the disappointment closet, off the failure room in the regret wing of our house. All those things that represent life's letdowns, you shut away in a box where they can't hurt you. Until you pull them out to look at them, or show them to your daughter, or move them to the re-glued-together dreams box if things have improved. Hmm. I like that. Maybe I'll start a shattered dreams box of my own and get it out occasionally to reminisce. Not too much. You don't want to confront missed opportunities too often. I was thinking like once per event. That's perfect.
