Dear Forum Reader lilygirl,

I just want you to know that I, too, enjoy a good pun now and again.   So, I called the young man that has recently taking to stalking us. I mean our newest paparazzi and asked if he had any pictures of Angelica's many fishing trips.  He just so happened to have one that I thought you would like.  Silly boy actually thinks by giving me this that he's more welcome.  I'll deal with that later I guess.  Please see the attached file and have a wonderful day.

As Always,
Artie Grim


Gelly gets a jelly!


Ricanote: I caught him again! Slippery little sucker.  

((But I have to share this and since it made me think of you and your husband lilygirl, i'm adding it to this.   Husband asked me to sign into EvE for him real quick.  On the sign in screen it said : "The World Ends Tomorrow; So why not play EvE all night?"

Just tickled my funny bone.   ))

[Audren]

I have to agree, that's funny. But Artie's better. 

[Esther1981]

Yeah I've heard that too. Am I nervous? A little, but as long as it's ending might as well enjoy it one more night! Sims all night anyone?  Awesome picture Rica!

Worst Birthday Ever

Rica: Artie commissioned me for a new bar to be put on the patio for Michael's birthday.  It's barely been 48 hours since Simis died and he was hoping for someone to make some happy drinks.
Rica: "Artie.. you aren't supposed to break the sink right before a party my friend."
Artie: "Ehronk."
Rica: "Fine i'll just swap it out for a new one."


Michael: -tries hard to think of wish-
Rica: "Artie you forgot to mop up the mess.  Now it looks like Jocasta peed herself."
Artie: "Whoo! We're having a party!"


Michael: -blows out candles-
Jocasta: -starts to float with sparkles all around-
As the last candle is blown out, so is the last moment of Jocasta's 91 days.   


That's also the same instant that the cake caught fire.


A few of the guests notice the ghost but immediately their concern goes to the raging inferno that had been dinner for most.


Rica: "Bella the brave to the rescue!  That's right Thornton, fire bad!  Everyone back up already!"


Guests scream, the household screams.  Bella continues to fight the destructive force.
Rica: "EVERYONE MOVE AWAY FROM THE FIRE"


Rica: "Artie!"
Alex: "Dad!"
Artie: "My butt! My beautiful butt!"
Bella: "Here I got you."
Artie: "Thanks Bella.  You're really saving my hide on this one."


Thanks to all the commotion with the fire.  No one seems to notice as a new counter, a new cake and the Grim appear.


Ruby Hart: "This is the best party ever!"
Christopher Steel: "Especially that last part.  Man who would have thought the Grims knew The Grim!"


Grim Reaper: "Jocasta Bachelor, I have come for you.  It is time to join your husband in the afterlife."
Jocasta: -begging- "Please just a little more time.  Please just one more day.  I haven't gotten my eighth plant yet."
Rica: -sniffles- "Please don't take Jocasta. She didn't get her LTW yet."
Fireman: "You did a great job taking out the fire, Bella.  Here's the insurance money and sorry for your very recent losses."


It takes a moment but as Jocasta jumps into her tiny gravemarker (oh Jocasta I failed you ), the household starts to cry and mourn for the newest tragedy.


Artie: -cries for Jocasta-
Grim Reaper: -screams in frustration at Artie-
Narcissa Vatos, Paparazzi: "Artie Grim.. do you have anything you'd like to say on record about this recent string of deaths in your home?"


Rica: "It's ok Michael.  Jocasta wanted you to have a birthday.  It's not wrong to try again.  "
Grim Reaper: -laughs- "Haha you're getting old.  One day I'm going to come for you."
Artie: "Dude.. Tony is that you?"
Grim Reaper: "Uhh.." -poofs-


Rica: "What are you going to wish for this time?"
Michael: "A fireproof house."
Artie: "Way ahead of you there. Happy Birthday!"


As Michael becomes a full fledged Adult, Simis Bachelor visits the park for the first time.  He decides to play a little Gnubb.
Rica: "Oh Simis.. not again." Yep.. the side without the hair.

[Esther1981]

R.I.P. Jocasta. You didn't fail her Rica. Tony should have given her more time.  The fire was funny when Artie said "My butt my beautiful butt." That was hilarious.

[Lilygirl]

YAY I got my picture of Gelly and her jelly! Ah the small things that amuse us. The EVE thing is funny too.

R.I.P. Jocasta. So is Artie related to all the Grims or are they all just co-workers/friends?

Happy birthday Micheal, sorry it was such a messy party. First, your Mom steals the show and then the cake tried it's best to refocus the attention on it. In the end, it was your little sister that became the star of the night - she did safe the beautiful Dynasty founder butt, after all. Better luck next time Micheal.

[Juxtaposition]

Oh my goodness, you had me laughing so hard I had to remind myself to breathe!

The fire, too funny, I love that! What a party, I'll never top that kind of chaos! Plus you had a Grim guest, talk about an epic time!

Then poor Simis gets bonked on the head in a reprise of one of my favorite LOL moments, pricess!

Super awesome update!

[TheChronicR]

Oxygen! I need oxygen! Aah.. Too late.
So sorry for Jocasta. Sniff. Tony, behave yourself man!
Happy birthday Michael! Aww please, we need Morty! And Cassandra too! Please? :3

[Phyre]

"My butt, my beatiful butt!"

*shakes from laughing*

I think that exclamation will describe Artie for the rest of eternity

That party was just insane - very much befitting the Grim family! Only Jocasta was a sour note in all that hilariousness. I think she may be happier with Simis in their afterlife though, instead of live to a hundred alone with Artie and his family. Michael and Bella always appeared to be better able to deal with the Grims lifestyle, they'll be just fine!

[Ricalynn]

The day after Micheal's birthday party was the one for the twins, even though the family was in mourning. Artie asked Bella & Michael what they wanted to do.  Both Bachelors agreed that today was an important birthday and that their parents would have wanted to give the twins a party.  
Rica: "Just keep smiling kids.  It makes the tears go away."
Alex: "You first Gelly."
Angelica: "You sure?  I've been first a lot."
Alex: "I'll be the first one to die so you can be the first one at everything else.  I like taking my time."


Rica: "Don't think too hard guys.  Your faces could freeze like that."


Rica: "Little bit of sparkle birthday magic.. and Ouch.. girl you need a mirror."
Angelica: "The bad hair again?"
Rica: "Afraid so cupcake.  You just enjoy that piece of cake and then you can sneak to the bathroom while Alex eats his."


Alex: "Maybe I should have gone first so I could look presentable faster."
Rica: "Is he here again?"
Alex: "Yep.  The hair isn't horrible but the jacket and swim trunks are.  I'm sure he understands birthday magic is cruel."
Rica: "I'm sure he does.  Grab a slice and then I can help you get into something.. more comfortable."
Alex: "Silly woman.. "


Dorothy DeMayo, Grim Family paparazzi: "Mr. Grim, Can you give me a line about the recent death of your housemate Jocasta Bachelor?"
Rica: "Go away Dorothy. "  -shakes the dumpster-
Dorothy: -screams and runs away-
Artie: "Thanks Rica.." -sniffles-
Rica: "Are you crying because she's dead or because you actually got promoted to Boss?"
Artie: "Both.." -sniffles-


Rica: "Jeanie.. what are you doing?"
Jeanie the Gnome: "Waiting for Big Red to come home and use the pot."
Rica: "Wrong bathroom.  He likes the one off his bedroom. It never breaks."
Jeanie the Gnome: "Well .. blast.  I'll just get the next person to walk in then."
Rica: "You're stuck aren't you?"
Jeanie the Gnome: -shady eye movement- "No!"


Artie: -glows- "Hey Baby.. notice anything different about me?"
Agnes: "You're impersonating Woohooium?"


Artie: "No, I got a promotion! I'm now the Emperor of Evil.  The Glow is a bonus!"
Agnes: "That's great. "
Artie: "This means I have more time to be at home with you."
Agnes: "If you're really the emperor of Evil, then where is your new uniform?"
Rica: "Try the dresser."


Artie: "Ow.. my butt."
Rica: -snickers-
Agnes: -giggles-


Artie: "I know we're all still mourning for Jocasta but the party you threw last night for the twins was awesome."
Agnes: "You were only there long enough to see the kids cut the cake."
Artie: "That's because I was hoping that you and I could start our own kind of party."


Eventually, Agnes always gives in to Artie when he gets romantic.

Oh!  Angelica argued with me forever until I gave her back one of her dresses so one outfit will look very familiar. I did get her to agree to new shoes though, sheesh.

And Fashion Show time!

[MissMaths]

I can't quote anything from the last few updates, if I did I would end up quoting the whole thing! Love the "Woohooium impersonation" and the butt on fire, and the jellyfish, and Tony the Grim, and the cake on fire...
What did I tell you? The whole thing, I said, and if I carry on I might as well just copy and paste the whole updates. Love the makeovers, though. You spoilt girl, Angie, getting to keep that dress!

[Lilygirl]

Artie's got that woohooium glow, has he? I guess it works!

Happy birthday to the twins! Alex is as handsome as Angelica is ... ummm, interesting. (It's the whole pink on red thing!)

[Ricalynn]

lol - i didn't pick pink as her favorite color and she won't let me change it!  It does seem overdone in pink hrmm

[Lilygirl]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to critisize, I think the pink on red works very well with Angelica's personality. Any other Sim maybe not, but for her it works!

[Ricalynn]

Wait til you see her new bedroom 

And don't worry I didn't take it as bad criticism.  I was just agreeing that is a bit pink overload.   I'm going to have to hypnotize her to like her elder wardrobe.  Not sure I could look at her forever only in that color.
