Knife and Fork is a thanksgiving item, isn't it? It's what the turkey asks you to get.

That is right! Thank you for reminding me ; I thought it sounded familiar but had forgotten.

When I dropped it in my house, it dissappeared entirely (a la if I was, say, 'throwing away' a letter). I wasn't sure if it was a duplicate copy (that is, an alternate code for that item), or for the item under 'normal circumstances' itself. I'll "ETA" the entry.

We got a dummy from the igloo last week. I might like to get the somber robe, and i understand tehre's a plum kimono or something....I would like to get that too.

You are correct! The plum kimono is another of the items that you can secretly get. I shall post the codes for them shortly ; as soon as I test them.

I think I have a somber robe. I thought I got it from Gracie... I don't remember using a code...

The "raccon object" is probably a Tanuki. You find them everywhere in Japan... mostly in front of shops and stuff. o_O;; they're really adorable. More info can be found on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki

Also taken from Wiki relative to this post:
In the video game Animal Crossing, the store owner is a bipedal talking raccoon named "Tom Nook", which is a play on the word "tanuki". The furniture Tom peddles also transforms into green leaves in a similar fashion for portability.

Similar to the 'tanuki' suit, in SMB3!
