No Time Like the Future part 1:
Mrs Frink: Jonathan, where are you? You promised to help me upgrade Octoparrot’s habitat.
Time Traveler Frink: He already has central air and a high-def TV!
Mrs Frink: Yeah, but now he wants 4K!
Time Traveler Frink: Well my work is at a very important stage right now!
Time Traveler Frink: I’ve almost completed my Time Mobile — with the tinkering and the fixing and the closing-the-door-on-my-fingies!
Mrs Frink: Is this all because Homer Simpson said your Time-Traveling Panini Press idea was stupid?
Time Traveler Frink: He thought it should be a potato masher. I mean, that’s just preposterous.

• Make Time Traveler Frink Defend His Totally Original Time Mobile – 4 hours
No Time Like the Future part 2:
Time Traveler Frink: I did it! I reached the future in my time mobile gadget a-TRON!
Retired Homer: Another time traveler!? Aww, I wanted an alien this time.
Time Traveler Frink: It took me ages to successfully invent time travel. You could be a LITTLE impressed.
Advisor Frink: Forgive my rotund and surprisingly long-lived friend, Professor Frink. He’s just a little underwhelmed since I got here first.
Retired Homer: That, and the cyber-clams I had for lunch aren’t sitting quite right.
• Make Advisor Frink Mock the “More Primitive” Scientist – 4 hours
• Make Time Traveler Frink Stammer at Being Mocked – 4 hours
Time Traveler Frink: Advisor Frink, my ancestor from the ancient past! How did you get here?
Advisor Frink: A Frink never reveals his secrets.
Time Traveler Frink: I’m a Frink! And I’m always revealing my secrets!
Advisor Frink: Huh. I guess my kids did a bad job at passing that mantra down.
Advisor Frink: Anyway, I may be ancient, but at least I’m not a dork!
Time Traveler Frink: I’m not a dork! With the glasses, and the lab coat, and the okay-maybe-I’m-a-dork.
No Time Like the Future part 3:
Time Traveler Frink: Forget that prehistoric “professor”. Now that I’m back in Ancient Egypt I can finally see who really built the pyramids.
Advisor Frink: Just average Egyptians. It was a lot easier to get stuff done before cell phones.
Time Traveler Frink: Great glayvin! You’re already here too?!
Pharaoh Skinner: Yes, and we’re so glad he is! There’s no way we could have done it without the help of this genius from the future.
Time Traveler Frink: He’s not from the future, I’M from the future!
Advisor Frink: Have you forgotten that time is relative, my young friend?
Time Traveler Frink: That’s the only kind of relative I like.
Advisor Frink: Also, it appears that your time vehicle has completely overheated.
Time Traveler Frink: There aren’t enough hieroglyphs in the world for all the curses I want to say right now.
• Make Pharaoh Skinner Praise Advisor Frink – 4 hours
• Make Time Traveler Frink Repair the Time Mobile – 4 hours

Time Traveler Frink: Thanks for the help — if you can call it that.
Advisor Frink: Where — or should I say “when” — will you go now?
Time Traveler Frink: I’m going to check out Pirate Times next!
Advisor Frink: Do you even know when that was?
Time Traveler Frink: Nah. I’ll just run it in low until I start seeing eye patches.
No Time Like the Future part 4:
Time Traveler Frink: Ah, it’s the time traveling pirate’s life for me! With the sea and the salt and the sand and the scurvy.
Blackbeard: Arr! I’ll be killin ya before the scurvy does!
Time Traveler Frink: Uh, you wouldn’t hurt a fellow parrot owner, would you?
Blackbeard: Ye have a parrot?
Time Traveler Frink: I do! He has eight tentacle legs, which is admittedly a little weird, but he does love crackers.
Blackbeard: I would’ve been okay with six tentacle legs, but eight is too weird for me. Prepare to walk the plank!
Time Traveler Frink: *gulp*
Advisor Frink: Haha! Relax, Professor Frink. My good friend, Blackbeard, was just having some fun with you.
Time Traveler Frink: Advisor Frink?! You beat me to Pirate Times, too?
Blackbeard: Aye! And he taught us about citrus fruits! Not having all our teeth fall out has been a big game-changer for us.
Time Traveler Frink: I’m the worst mad professor-slash-scientist-slash-inventor-slash-fanfic author ever!
Advisor Frink: Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself. I thought your cyber-punk “Winnie the Pooh” story was perfectly adequate, if a little predictable…and unnecessarily graphic.
Time Traveler Frink: There’s nothing left for me in this cruel world. Goodbye, sweet science! And flights of rockets sing thee to thy rest.
• Make Time Traveler Frink Give Up on Science – 4 hours

Time Traveler Frink: Hold on a picosecond! Are all these pirates eating paninis?
Advisor Frink: Indeed they are!
Time Traveler Frink: I don’t understand…how could they have that technology? Unless…it can’t be!
Advisor Frink: How do you think I’ve been getting around? My goal for some time has been to glimpse the wonders my descendants might invent in the future, and none was greater than you and your time-traveling panini press idea.
Advisor Frink: So I built it and used it to follow you around time to learn from the greatest of my distant progeny — YOU!
Time Traveler Frink: Wow! So if you think about it, all of your accomplishments are really MY accomplishments.
Advisor Frink: Well, I wouldn’t go quite that far…
Time Traveler Frink: I am a great mad professor-slash-scientist-slash-inventor-slash-fanfic author!
Advisor Frink: Again, only adequate on the fanfic front. I just didn’t believe the Winnie/Piglet romance.
No Time Like the Future part 5:
Time Traveler Frink: Honey, I’m back — from the past, and the future, and Pirate Times!
Mrs Frink: When were those, exactly?
Time Traveler Frink: Uhh…before air fryers but after the French Revolution?
Time Traveler Frink: The important thing is that it turns out our understanding of history is completely wrong! The story of history is really the story of one name: FRINK!
Time Traveler Frink: Every important or cool thing that happened was thanks to me! And the most impressive scientific wonder of all: the toasted Italian sandwich.
Mrs Frink: Uh-huh. Well, that’s terrific, but what about the octoparrot habitat?
Time Traveler Frink: Not now, Sweetie! I have to get down to the Springfield History Museum and teach those nerds a lesson! Metaphorically AND literally.

There you have it, over to you. Is this a must-buy, a maybe or a hard-pass?
Your opinions might help any Addict who’s not made up their minds yet so please share your thoughts in the comments.
Back later with a look at the cash offering.
Man, I wish I’d read this before I bought the car. One extra club for a hundred sprinkles?? Sigh.
When is the snow going away?
Either the first week of Feb (likely) or the second week of March is my guess, but only EA knows
Probably with the next major update, assuming that’s not in February. (If it’s in February, you may have to wait until the first major update in the spring.) Be prepared to be blinded by the brilliance of the green when it does…it always like looks way brighter than one remembers it!
Hopefully soon
I WANT MY DONUTS BACK !!! I got the Museum because I figured why not? I only got it for the event currency, otherwise I don’t care. However, it’s not working & NOT PAYING OUT clubs. The timer keeps resetting & I am not getting the clubs I am supposed to. A few times it has paid out & I already had what I needed for that Part. It is totally unreliable & screwing up my timing. I regret this & wish I didn’t bother. Also wish I didn’t bother with the Frink costume as the Math is off & doesn’t help progress any quicker.
You should contact EA about this. Not sure whether you just posted this here because you (understandably) needed to vent or whether you thought this site was run by EA, but, if it’s the latter, it won’t work because no one from EA works on this site.
Yes, I know this site isn’t run by EA. I can’t contact them. The post was asking for feedback so I was posting mine. At this point it won’t matter, because I’ll finish the event before anything gets resolved.
Are you sure it’s not being collected because you’ve tapped something near it ?
I have that Museum in all 3 games on 3 different devices and they all work fine
Yes, I know exactly where the building is & I keep careful track of how many clubs I have at all times. It has worked a few times, but rarely. It should have been on the same 4 hour cycle as all the characters, but it never is. I check the time I collect & then when I go back to the game later on the collect time has changed. I was mainly curious if it was just me or not. Since I’ve seen no other comments about it anywhere & you say it’s working on all your games, then I guess I have my answer.
