No no, not new. from the wiki page: "Stewart Butterfield wrote in January 2011, "The gum tree (and spigot) were scratched over a year ago. But, hey … maybe they make an appearance one day."
An aside: I keep such a close tabs on the Items page that I know by heart how many items there are in the bottom row of every section: 4, 1, 1, 1, 5, 2, 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 2, 1.* That way I know by a quick scan if there have been any changes.
*An odd thing is that in my head I treat the 5s as 0s... as if there was an empty row below the full one. Just realized that. Brains! Weird, right?
Lord Bacon-o is the sunlight streaming through the storm clouds, the whipped topping on the last slice of pie, the screechy comfort of nails on a chalk board, the moment of anticipation before you unwrap a present from an aunt you've never met...
But I digress. I will take this moment to urge everyone to search the forums before starting new threads because, crappy as the search function may be at the moment, a search for "spigot" still brings up eleven other threads containing this information (and I'm the culprit in two of the oldest ones). The multiple-threads-on-same-topic problem is common to all Internet forums, but I have faith that we can rise above!
LBO is also the second half of my incomplete thought. Thanks for posting that... I meant to but got distracted, probably by something shiny.
Also, the impossible achievement is not meant to be achieved! If you see it in a skill description, it means that the skill in question cannot be learned yet. You can't buy more than one house, you can't grow vegetables in bog gardens or herbs in non-bog gardens, we don't have pets, you have to use Facebook to invite people to the game but e-mail invitations will be available someday, and, despite his spiffy hat, stoot is not actually a pimp.
