The Man Dynasty 5.0 — This Time it's for Total Manhood (Finished)

[Esther1981]

Hmmm I think you might have not been obvious on the name. What was the sound she heard??  Congratulations on Sound Man! And the baby checked the mail AND went to the theater?? Wow that's a special baby! Merry Christmas to the Man's and everyone on the forums!

[Joria]

Merry Christmas Metro and all the Man family, and all on our forum as well.  Welcome to the family Sound!

Sporty Goes Pro and Crazy’s a Crazy Old Man

Sporty was able to finish another Athletic opportunity — the Complete Circuit which involved working out to the stereo, jogging, and finally swimming. And what better place to swim than her dad’s inventor’s pool?



The butt photo tradition continues with Recipe showing off Isaiah his special Rear Museum items.



Isaiah: “I don’t know what to say, Recipe. Thank you so much.”
Recipe: “Of course. You’re a Man now. Lots of family members will be seeing your butt everyday. But, I just noticed this...you’re walking.”
Isaiah: “Huh?”
Recipe: “Your ice sculpture. You’re walking in your ice sculpture. Where the heck are you going?”
Isaiah: “Ummm...here?”

It’s Week 31, Day 4 at Manly Estates. Wow. What a busy day it turned out to be — 3 big things took place on that day. #1—Sound aged up to Toddler. With proud daddy, Isaiah, holding him at his Toddler birthday party, there’s no question where Sound got his hair color from.



#2—Sporty started her career in Pro Sports as a Rabid Fan. I guess her “rabidness” comes from Crazy. Here she is jogging over to Llama Stadium the day before to join the career...



And #3—Crazy finally finished his Lifetime Wish of Monster Maker (as well as SuperMaxing his Inventing career). That was not easy obtaining the Heart-Cut Pink Diamonds and Palladium necessary for the 3 SimBots. I’ve always been rough around the edges with the whole collecting aspect of the game. So, the only thing left for Crazy to do before he can eat his Ambrosia is have Recipe make his Elder museum pieces.

Crazy aged up to Elder the same day as Sound aged up to Toddler. I’m not quite sure what to make of Crazy’s new look. On the one hand he looks like a cute and cuddly Santa Claus. On the other hand he’s got the “bad boys” Cops trailer trash thing going on. Works for me. The tank top stays.

The trailer trash Santa look always a winner.

Happy birthday, Sound and Crazy!

Happy birthday Crazy and Sound! Crazy does look like a cuddly Santa

[Joria]

He's adorable, but not sure I'd want to get cuddly with that grizzly looking old dude.

Recipe Seals Crazy's Eternal Craziness

I didn’t waste any time with Sound and had him pick up the Xylophone quickly after aging up to give him a nice headstart on the Guitar skill down the road...



“I just love the fact that I’m building Guitar skill by playing this...this...what is this called again? Who took away the cue cards?”

After Sporty taught Sound how to walk and talk, Grandpa Crazy took the reigns and had the task of potty-training Sound. I know...yikes!



“Just push open that heavy door, undo your overalls, then climb up on the tall seat. Okay, next...you know that stuff you do in your diaper? Right...just do it in the big toilet from now on. Hop off the toilet, wave bye bye to the poopee like I do, flush the toilet, put your overalls back on, and open the heavy door again. You’re almost done! Now, climb up on the counter behind me, lie on your stomach to wash your hands, then hop back down again. That’s all there is to it. It takes me a minute to go to the bathroom, Sound — maybe 30 seconds if I’m feeling Crazy good and skip the waving bye bye part. I’m rootin’ for ya’ boy. I’ll be in the TV room.”

The big moment for Crazy has finally arrived. His Elder museum pieces are safely tucked away. Recipe rang the dinner bell and all immortals practically trampled each other, running to the kitchen with long strings of drool trailing from their jowls...



Crazy: “Recipe, this moment is worth the lifetime of work I’ve invested. Ambrosia is more delicious than I could have ever imagined.”
Recipe: “Yep. The only downside is now we have to watch you be Crazy forever.”

Uh-oh. What’s going on here? Girly is really laying into Crazy in the way that only a mother can for some foolish behavior...



“FOOL! You nearly ruined our chances of success with this Dynasty. What were you thinking, young Man?”



Crazy: “Ummmm...errrrr...Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel, please?”

Hilarious as always. I loved the part with the cue cards.

[Esther1981]

Lol, bathroom stalls to potty train a toddler? Only Crazy would be crazy enough to think that would work! Why does he want to buy a vowel when consonants are free??

[Nilla]

Impressive that Sound can read cue card before learning words on them. That was some effective potty training, noticed that paper or anything similar was not mentioned anywhere in Crazy’s toilet habits though...

Pretty much anything is possible in this story. Forget everything you've ever learned about everything and then it all makes sense.

Good point. There is the magazine rack barely visible near the showers.

Wonderful, so maybe asking Crazy what kind of magazines he likes would get the response "soft ones"

Ahem!    Hahahaha. Yeah, Recipe likes Cooks Illustrated and Taste of Home because they offer a 2-year subscription in quilted, 2-ply editions.

Danica’s Downfall and Demise

Danica Man. Beautiful Danica Man. The fairest Man of them all. What the heck happened? It might have been the fact that Crazy nearly turned himself into a roasted marshmallow and ended the Dynasty. That’s one possibility. Then, there’s the fact that she got one of those ridiculous pink notices in the top left game screen... “It’s been reported that Danica has been caught in a public fight.” Or something like that. That really made her snap I think. And the fact that I gave Danica a Mid-Life Crisis to spice things up and had her go around town in her underwear and pick fights with strangers. I mean you can’t go around saying that Danica was fighting with someone with no proof. That carries a 3-day nasty moodlet. Unacceptable. Time to sharpen the claws...



Danica: “Lydia Myrick, how dare you spread nasty rumors of me fighting in public. Come here! Groowwwllll...Hisssssssss.”
Hassan Wilder (Paparazzi): “Hmmm...what’s going on over here?”

The rampage wasn’t over yet. Danica walked across the street, slapping Sims at will, and ended up in Central Park. After arguing and insulting Jeannie Allard — while she was holding her son, Jerad! — poof! It was as if the hand of redemption came down and said, “No more of this.” 



Danica was actually only 91 days old. So sad that such a pretty and vibrant flower wilted and ended up like she did. Danica greeted Grim in her ghostly granny panties...



Unfortunately, Grim was not finished with his torment. Something beckoned Crazy to go to Central Park. Then, he received a horrible phone call...



Crazy: “Hello?”
Grim: “BOO! Hahahaha. Never gets old. Hey, sorry about Danica. Her number was up, you know? Gotta job to do. You understand.”

Crazy was going crazy with rage. He had just spoken to Danica hours earlier. She could not be dead. Impossible.
 


Crazy: “You’re wrong you bag of bones. You big...black-robed...umm...stinky...old...I already said that...black-robed sickle-carrying good for nothin...old heart breakin’...”
Grim: “SILENCE! Now, walk across the park and BELIEVE!”

Crazy was quite scared now. He slowly walked across to the other side of the park. Oh, no. Poor Crazy. He came to Danica’s tombstone — the site of her last insult and argument with a total stranger. What a way for a Man to be remembered. Does it really have to end like this?



NO! It won’t be like that. Forget it. Let’s all remember Danica for the great mother she was. Remember all those deathfish she caught? YEAH! I do. C’mon, let’s cheer up. Hey, what about Sporty? Anyone remember her? I see some hands. Hey, Danica played a part in Sporty’s birth. I'm certain of that! So, let’s forget that I intentionally had Danica go psycho her last day and remember the good stuff. Can we do that? Can we sing a song, folks? Here we go....



When you’re saaaaaaaaaaaad. And you’re bluuuuuuuuuuuue...
And you feeeeeeeeeel...like you’re throuuuuuuuuuugh...
Crazy’s goooooot sumpin’ to saaaaaaaay...
“I’m gonna put a rope around this stupid tombstone and drag my blues away!”

All together now!...



When you’re saaaaaaaaaaaad. And you’re bluuuuuuuuuuuue...
And you feeeeeeeeeel...like you’re throuuuuuuuuuugh...
Crazy’s goooooot sumpin’ to saaaaaaaay...
“I’m gonna put a rope around this stupid tombstone and drag my blues away!”

Whew! I don't know about you guys, but I'm out of breath! Crazy’s almost done, everybody. Time to PUUUUSH! C’mon...dig deep...on 3...last verse...



When you’re saaaaaaaaaaaad. And you’re bluuuuuuuuuuuue...
And you feeeeeeeeeel...like you’re throuuuuuuuuuugh...
Crazy’s goooooot sumpin’ to saaaaaaaay...
“I’m gonna push this 500-pound tombstone right through the wall of the Rear Museum and push my blues away, baby. ARRRRGGGHHHH! Give me strength!”

Good singing, Man fans. Crazy lets out one last good cry for his lost love, Danica...
