Grandpa Saves
Springfield...The Birds Sequel
Let's face it...
having a nuclear plant, a subatomic supercollider and the Mapple Store
within fracking distance of one another. just isn't a great idea.
Once the "small mistake" of opening a small black hole happened,
it was important to figure out a way to contain, and appease this dangerous
little beast with its ravenous hunger for matter. I first built a cute
maze/park that is adjacent to the Mapple store, as well as across the
street from the collider. But, so make SURE that there was enough "fuel"
to keep "blackie" happy, I set a park bench in the middle,
near the hole, and then make sure to have Grandpa "feed the birds"
which actually feeds Blackie, as the birds come to eat, and are sucked
into the vortex.
I am never really comfortable with the future of my Springfield, unless
Grandpa is Feeding the Birds/Blackie. So...when I am forced to have
him go on a quest, I have to wait patiently for him to get close enough
on his post-quest-walk, to "capture" him back to his bench.
The good news is...he always says, "Hey! I'm useful!"
Yes...Grandpa...like you could never really know.
