Posted on April 13, 2020 by | 9 comments

Morning Musically-Minded, Medically-Minded, Masticators!

(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “M”)

 

Over the past 600+ episodes, The Simpsons has taken us on an amazing journey involving music, science, and food to name a few concepts.

And what better way to start your week, then by discussing some of these concepts Monday morning?

So let’s get started this week by talking about a classic English adventure novel from the fourteenth episode of our favourite family, Treasure Island.

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

Happy Easter!  Hope you’re making the best of today, no matter where you are!

Still no new Simpsons tonight…bummer.

New event in TSTO, Simpsons Wrestling.  Thoughts?

Another day of social distancing.  How’s it working out for you?  Going stir crazy yet?  Today we’re going to make Disney Churros!  (the bagels last week were awesome!) Are you planning any quarantined baking?

How’s your Springfield design coming?  What are you doing with your town? Share some photos in the comments below! (If you need a refresher on how to add photos to the comments check out this post)  

Stay safe.  Wash your hands.  Social distance.    Remember, we’re all in this together.

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well)  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

And…I snuck in to this post,  to Wish You All Happy Easter…

P. S. Alissa again…We made the Disney churros and they came out awesome! You can find the recipe here if you’re interested in making them, super easy (and delicious)! You can find a bunch of photos and videos of the process in my Instagram stories But here are a few fun ones…

Hey Addicts, Caption This!

Posted on April 11, 2020 by | 10 comments

Sometimes TSTO gives us humorous little moments when we capture our characters doing rather strange things.  These posts are all about those strange and funny moments!

When we can, we’ll be posting a “Caption This!” moment where we want you, the Addicts readers, to put on your writing caps and come up with what you think is happening in the screenshot. Post your captions in the comments below. We can’t wait to see how creative and funny you guys can be!

Hey Addicts… Caption This!

This Caption This! image is brought to us by HondoRiley…

So go ahead and caption away!

Friday Filler – In Support of EA…And Hope

Posted on April 10, 2020 by | 27 comments

Thank Grog it’s Firday!

And yes…like you, I barely know what day it is…and am writing this way early.
It is going to be one of the shorter posts I’ve written…which will please a good number of you.

First…my apologies for anyone who got a notice that this had posted yesterday. Fat finger syndrome. I hit the wrong button on my iPhone when I was trying to start this post.

Next..for the love of God. Matt is messing with us with the SkyFinger main screen image. That STILL is not a finger…even if you put a wrestling singlet on it.

OK now to the real post…

The fact is, I’m working hard on finding the Joy these days,,,,this thing is starting to get personal.  Not going to go into details…but suffice it to say that “The Covid,” as CrankyOldGuy likes to call it, has taken a handful of folks I knew closely, or next-to-closely. And, the loss of John Prine hit me harder than I expected.  I had the good luck to interview him back in my radio days. Class act. Hilarious sense of humor…and probably one of the best songwriters around.  I loved the way he wove humor into pathos…and using words that sounded common and conversational…while being pretty damn deep.

Ironically, one of my favorite songs was, “Don’t Bury Me,” which spoke of how he wanted his body used after he went. After beating cancer twice (barely), there wasn’t much left of “ol John” to go around.

Irreverence is underrated.

But, as always…I DIGRESS….

What I meant to write about was how thankful I am that Bob is still working double shifts at EA, and somehow broke through the insanity of the lockdowns in California to put up this weirdly funny event. We really need something that is familiar, and light, and silly…even if it is redundant, and they DIDN’T INCREASE THE ITEM LIMITS!!!

But, I like it. So shoot me.  Let me tell you why…

Should I Spend Donuts on Professor Werner von Brawn & University of Heidelberg?

Posted on April 10, 2020 by | 36 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Update time in Springfield!  We’re all getting antsy sitting at home, so it’s nice to have an update to focus on!  And highly amusing that it’s based on wrestling, when this may be how some of us are treating our families after a few months of quarantine!  😳 Of course, an all-new event means all-new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!

As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add Professor Werner von Brawn & University of Heidelberg to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Physical combo to your town…

Simpsons Wrestling – Calendar and Math Needed to Get It All!

Posted on April 8, 2020 by | 56 comments


Holyfreakinshirt! 
So…BOB IS CLEARLY STILL WORKING!
I know…everyone will complain that this is the “same old grind.”  But, come on. Who here wouldn’t like to have SOMETHING be the same as it was a few weeks ago?

I for one, appreciate that there is still something…that happened…when it was predicted to happen. Because, let’s face it…predicting anything these days is a “darts on the board art form at best.”

But, the good news is…This Event Looks Less than Brain (and lung) damaging!
So…Let’s Dig Into the Numbers!!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Update time in Springfield!  We’re all getting antsy sitting at home, so it’s nice to have an update to focus on!  And highly amusing that it’s based on wrestling, when this may be how some of us are treating our families after a few months of quarantine!  😳

Anyway…what’s in store for us this time?  Well, it’s time for Burns and Aristotle Amadopolis to have yet another clash of tapping proportions! Loads of dialogue with this one, so be sure to read along to see what happens! And of course, I’ll be posting it as each week wraps up…

Once again we see another multi-event in Springfield.  So love them, or hate them, they’re still here.  So let’s all try to make the best of this…

Anywho….things kick off with 4hr tasks for Burns and Bart.  Note it’s FOUR hours, not the usual 6s. 

After you’ve completed these initial tasks you’ll kick off Simpsons Wrestling Week 1…
