Sorry for the doublepost, but otherwise I can't preview to actually write the outcome.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5am, waffles. Actually an appropriate time for once.

Xanatos gets on the phone to see if he can order some minions. They're stuck in customs.

Max White attempts to build something robotic and not smash his fingers at the same time. I'm not so sure of his success in that matter.

Early morning blues is good for the underpants.

Yoink and Jopax join in. Yes, Jopax is wearing shorts.

Barbarossa sets out to solve difficult logic problems. The best way to think is to not wear pants.

Max White built a floor hygienator. No better place to put it than in the bedroom doorway for maximum exposure to the residents.

Xanatos reads up on minion building. He monkeys with the workbench later but doesn't manage to build anything.

Success! Barbar earned $260 for optimizing backpacks. Yes, really.

Meanwhile, Yoink and Max White continue the jamming!

MonkeyHead decides to Strike the Earth! With heavy machinery, at that. He actually finds some pretty cool stuff. Some inventing scrap, a hunk of copper, an unpolished emerald, and a hunk of very valuable palladium!

Yoink in a cab. Good thing he's not trying to look menacing.

Yoink visits the pool. He chats up some ladies on the way in, but nothing interesting happens.

Is he going to dive in suited up like that?

...nope. Thankfully for everyone, he didn't catch anything of any kind.

MonkeyHead gets out of work. Why they let him dress like that, I'll never know.

Jopax gets out of a long day of work folding towels.

Scriver also gets out of work. He has much better news, though, in that he's been promoted! He also gets a bonus check for his effort.

Xanatos heads to work. He loves that damn statue.

Barbarossa reads the Logic II book.

What the hell did you guys DO to this thing?

Jopax is shocked by his own strength. I think.

MonkeyHead sends his dug up treasures out to be refined.

He then reads his Martial Arts I book. He learns how to throw a nifty punch where the thumb goes on the outside of his fist. Neat.

Man, you guys have to stop clogging the toilets. Maybe I should forbid waffles from now on.

Yoink barges in on Scriver to give him a piece of his mind. He then politely leaves and waits for Scriver to come out of the bathroom.

"You need to stop playing guitar with vegetables, man. It's not good for the strings! Also, you need to share!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Also, you play the drums, and I do share."

"Besides, my style has made me famous enough to play elementary schools! I don't need this from you."

"'kay, then. So long as we're clear on that. I'll sneak around, then." You guys never cease to amaze me.

"ATTACK OF THE KILLER WAFFLE!" Max White believed him there for a second.

Waffles couldn't possibly be that sinister...can they?

Max White got a phone call asking him to come demonstrate his new treadmill technique (mostly consisting of riding it on his face.) The stadium gives him $350 to demonstrate. Also, he has to sign a waiver. Something about SimTube videos.

I'm not sure who made the salad, where MonkeyHead got the martial arts getup, or what that green stuff by the blender is, but I think this picture says...I'm not sure, really.

Little does MonkeyHead know, I've stolen his Martial Arts book.

Lights out, everyone! If we can continue to make money hand over fist like this, we'll be rolling in rubber duckies in no time!

[Xanatos Jr.]

I SWEAR THE SECOND WE GET A KLEPTOMANIAC THAT STATUE WILL BE MINE.

Anyway, more book, more invent. I have to put that Max guy in his place.

[Max White]

Aww, everybody wants to beat me, but I'm just trying to be a nice guy! 
> (Buy mode) Move the floor shower next to the tread mill, those things work up a sure stink!
> Time to go hunt'n. Seed hunting! Skip through the forests like a happy elf in search of seeds and plants.
> ready these compressed DNA containing modules in nutrient rich organic matter.

You can take a class for that at the science lab. They give you some seeds for free upon obtaining your first Gardening level.

[Max White]

> TO THE SCIEDOME! We must understand the very essence of life itself!

Also, we need for someone to die somehow... I thought maybe cooking would pay off, but noooo, then I crank it up a notce and break out the robotics, but nope. Come on, what do I need to do? Stand at the top of a barren hill in the middle of a thunder storm, in wet metal armour, shouting 'All gods are bastards!'

[Xanatos Jr.]

This isn't fair, you actually know what you're doing, I don't have a clue.

[MaximumZero]

This isn't fair, you actually know what you're doing, I don't have a clue.

Is there a specific thing you want to know about? I've been playing The Sims since the first one came out.

[Max White]

This isn't fair, you actually know what you're doing, I don't have a clue.

No I don't, I have never played the sims 3... Every once in a blue moon when I am out of ideas I skim over the wiki while reading as little as possible, lest it give away the surprise.

Is there a specific thing you want to know about? I've been playing The Sims since the first one came out.

Yes, what activity has the highest risk/reward ratio in the game.

[MaximumZero]

Usually, it's doing things like fixing computers and tvs, and I've handled that so far. There's also putting out fires, but there have been none thus far, surprisingly. Also, I tend to get hit by meteors a lot, so there's that.

[Yoink]

...Wut? I'm standing there, suited up at the pool, and then just when things couldn't get any weirder, I pull out a fishing rod.
Aaanyway: >Practice guitar intensely for a good while, then
>Convince Scriver to come busking with me in town!
Wait, do we have just the one guitar? If so, then scratch that last one, and:
>Go get some kindof job, winning potential employers over with my easygoing charm! Preferably a job somewhere in the Hospitality industry, but eh, whatever pays!

Also, MZ: I'm loving the updates, but one thing that bothers me is how long it takes to actually scroll and view the pictures. I don't know if it's possible to spoiler the images independently? If it's not, that's fine. Would just make it easier to actually read the update, and not miss as much.

[MaximumZero]

Yes, only one guitar. We have 8 grand in the bank, though, so if someone wants another, we can afford it.

Also: yeah, I guess I could spoilertag all of the pics individually. It's just more copypasta. The pictures will be the same size, and you'll have to open each one individually, which I thought would take longer than just scrolling. If there's call for it, though, I'll do it.*shrug*

[Heron TSG]

I like just scrolling, personally.

>LOGIC.
>CHESS.

I'VE GOT THUNDER IN MY HEART!

[scriver]

>Convince Scriver to come busking with me in town!

I have no idea what busking means, but hell yeah!

> Hold a long speech for my many fans in the mirror world! They appreciate my greatness.
> Go busk that town up yo!

I still would like to know how many days to my school show, though.

[Simmura McCrea]

>Convince Scriver to come busking with me in town!

I have no idea what busking means, but hell yeah!

> Hold a long speech for my many fans in the mirror world! They appreciate my greatness.
> Go busk that town up yo!

Busking is playing an instrument somewhere public in the hope people give you money. Usually guitar, but I've seen all sorts.

[Jopax]

Well that went well, I propose that if we ever form an official band we play only in our underwear!

-Go and find a pet store, I want that cat!
-Continue practicing the keyboard.
