 		I got my shirt in the mail today and with it was a sheet of paper with the following written like a ransom note (letters cut from a newspaper/magazine)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I find your odd uncharactoristically cool attitude nearly ridiculous. everyone admits doing things helpfully in saying your odd unorthodox and relaxed entics have awful long term fix. why always yell to helpers. (even if really effictive)?


i've double checked the spelling and i have typed it as it is shown. well, i added the spaces on my own because the page is one giant string.

Key Purse Elf All Hive = Keep Yourself Alive
(but what does the last pic mean when it's "- B"? I assumed that would mean BEES - B = EES, but it doesn't ft into the Keep Yourself Alive.

Alos, what's with the thr33 in the bottom right hand corner?

 		I think the picture is of a Beehive. Minus B(ee) from that and you have hive which fits the solve.

I think the THR33 at the bottom is the clue. The only thing I can think of is so far is it stands for THREE.

 		i think the thr33 could mean it's for the 3rd face. and keep yourself alive is the name of a Queen song.

Then might the notes on the staff, "GAGA", correspond to the Queen song "Radio GAGA"?

 		Invisible key?!
Hmmm...when I look at the clue I don't see the key. I've attached a screenshot and here is the code I get:
Code:
<body>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"> + <img src="purse.gif" width="96" height="124" align="middle"> + <img src="elf.jpg" width="96" height="116" align="middle"> + <img src="all.gif" width="96" height="101" align="middle"> + (<img src="hive.gif" width="121" height="147" align="middle"> -<span class="style3"> B </span>) </p>
<p align="right" class="style1">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right" class="style1">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right" class="style1">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right" class="style2">THR33</p>

Here is the code I see on that page: only the picture part...

<p align="center"><img src="key.gif" width="120" height="60" align="middle"> + <img src="purse.gif" width="96" height="124" align="middle"> + <img src="elf.jpg" width="96" height="116" align="middle"> + <img src="all.gif" width="96" height="101" align="middle"> + (<img src="hive.gif" width="121" height="147" align="middle"> -<span class="style3"> B </span>) </p>
<p align="right" class="style1">&nbsp;</p>

I think the key is the "KE" for the word KEEP as in
"Keep Yourself Alive"

Still lurking but trying Laughing

Hmm... weird. Shocked No idea as to why the image isn't loading fo you. I guess you could clear your browser cache and history and try re-loading the page.

Anywho, the following attachment shows what the rest of us were seeing.

 		Earlier this week, the two t-hirts I ordered arrived. Included was my second clue. If you look under the signature you will see (2wo) which I believe stands for puzzle/face 2. Have fun and "Happy New Year!"

What the clue means:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Si Stebbins is a deck ordering. http://members.aol.com/MagicDan/docs/si_stebbins.html tells you how to do it. Once you do what it says, you have to shift things around to where the AC is on top. Then put the JA53 and JB54 on top of it. Then perform solitaire and solve...


The translation of face 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WHAT HAPPENED AT TRACI'S?

-DALE OR EMILY SHOULD ONLY NEED EARTHLY MATERIAL AND NOTHING MORE

-ALICE KNOWS EMILY BROUGHT UNDER THE NORM

-ONLY TOM USUALLY SELLS ENOUGH (AND NEARLY OUTSELLS TRACI)

-HAVING ENOUGH, RICK MAKES ANOTHER NICELY, BUT UNDERSTANDABLY YELLS

-YELLING ENTICES TRACI'S GROUP INSIDE

-VIRTUALLY EVERYONE SEES A WAY AROUND YESTERDAYS ANNOYANCE (NOT DALE)

-AND NOW, OUR TIME HAS ESCAPED. REMEMBER, MANY ANSWERS NEVER USE SIMPLE
ENOUGH SOLUTIONS BUT UNDERSTAND THAT DALE (OR EMILY) SHOULD NEED ONLY TO KNOW NUMBERS.

OK WHERE IS TRACI?


What does the translation mean?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
using the first letter of each of the words in the translated face: WHAT DOES ONE MAN MAKE BUT NOT USE ANOTHER MAN BUY YET GIVES AWAY AND ANOTHER MAN USES BUT DOES NOT KNOW IT?


So what is the final answer to fill in the blank for face 2?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A Coffin
