It's Vigenere with "happiness" as the key:
if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too;
if you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
or being hated don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: etc.
Final line: who wrote this lovely mush? + sif

The weird letters from the video are found here.
It's called Betamaze.

Quote:
Mr. Nedd and I went to see the twins several times. On our last visit, Jack confessed to us that he was the RedShadow and ruled the desert. He explained that during the six years that he waited for George to emerge from his room, he became this superhero "RedShadow". Jack (RedShadow) told us that he trained vigorously until his superhero skills were perfected. Mr. Nedd and I just nodded our heads and asked again for the Spoocheeeee second piece. RedShadow then took my hand and guided me outside. When we were away from George and Mr. Nedd, Jack (RedShadow) told me that he knew that I thought I was a superhero as well. He then handed me two series of numbers. He told me that only a superhero would know the source of the numbers and that I could have the Spoocheeeee second piece when I had proven myself to be such a superhero.

18831939 + 18891937

FLIP IT AND SEND IT TO JACK
IF YOU HAVE THE ANSWER, FLIP IT AND SEND TO THE REDSHADOW. FOLLOW ALL THE INTRUCTIONS.

INSTRUCT THE REDSHADOW TO GIVE THE BOX TO MR. SMILEY NEDD. SEND MR. NEDD TO BLUE HEAVEN TO GET THE BOX AND HAVE HIM SEND IT TO THE SAMMEEEEES!


Caterpillar's Spec on the numbers is here.

Quote:
18 8 3 19 3 9
Jack began service at 18, served 8 years, stayed locked in his room for 3 years, separated for 19 years, not sure about the 3, but 9 months ago Eric Arthur Blair dies.

18 8 9 19 3 7
George began service at 18, served 8 years, stayed locked in his room for 9 years,separated for 19 years, not sure about the 3, but 7 months ago the twins wrote a warning to the world.


3's may be part of "writing on the 3rd day at 3am or 3pm Pacific Time"

I want to know more about Blue Heaven. Is anyone willing to share?

Here is a transcript:
Quote:

fuzzy screen. HHR enters, tin hat on head.

"Hi Mr Alan Johnson. It's me, Happy Rogers. Well, it's been nearly four weeks since you brought us to this place, wherever we are. And uh- well- we're doing okay. I mean everyone else is pretty worried. I'm a little worried. I mean- But I'm hoping you're not as evil and horrible as you say you are- or uh other people say you are. Um uh- I wanna thank you Mr. Alan Johnson for letting me see Ben. It's only been twice, but it was nice to see him. Um, I do want to talk you about something, though. I don't appreciate you telling Ben that I'm crazy. I mean, I'm his mother. He shouldn't think that I'm crazy. And you know that I'm not. Ben tells me that you're showing these videos to um- the Sammeeeees out there, the Sammeeeees that Betty found. I'd like to say hi to them."

Rest is directed at the Sammeeeees

"Uh hi, I'm Happy Rogers! Uh Ben says you're, you're helping us and- and that's great. Um everyone here is really excited about it and they just want to say thank you. Um there's one thing that I wanted to uh- mention to you Sammeeeees um- Uh I have a friend, um- that you may know, whose name is- uh [leans in closer] Dull Den. Dull Den. And um- he should be able to help you get to- the trailer called Blue Heaven. You might have to take the backwards route to get there. But you uh- definitely want to get to the trailer called Blue Heav-"

Here is the draft of the letter that I may send

I have it in my Draft but I doubt I'll be awake at 3am Pacific Time. And usually I'm still at work at 3p - if I can get on one of the Library computers then I can access my gmail and get it sent.

Quote:
I am a friend of the superhero Happy and of The Red Shadow. 18831939 + 18891937 comes from the history of Jack & George and the evil Spoocheeeee. Service started at age 18, after 8 years they both locked themselves in rooms. Jack came out in 3, George came out in 9. When they came out they knew that the evil affected every man, woman & child (3) and tin hats were needed to keep the evil from accessing their thoughts, dreams and hopes (3). Eric Arthur Blair kept them separated for 19 years (from when their service started). 9 months ago, EAB died. 7 months ago Jack & George wrote a warning to the world.
Please give the box to Mr Smiley Nedd, he'll know what to do with it.


Yes, I reversed it. But since it hasn't been sent yet, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks to Red Hatty for the idea about the meaning of the 3s.

All this stuff about Blue Heaven reminds me of Algul Siento, fron Stephen King's Dark Tower books . . .

Just some wild and crazy SPEC, but maybe there's a link?

When I was googling it last week, I kept coming across this one:
Benedict Allen, a British explorer, who wrote The Edge of Blue Heaven about crossing the Gobi desert.

I was up at 6:30 this morning to get my daughter off to school, and got looking again at the number three, trying to make it fit the same context as the other three numbers. I noticed that it was 3 years ago that George came out of his room.

ETA: The way I found the meaning of the number 3 is that I actually started thinking "Okay what important Spoocheeeee/Sammeeeee historical event happened in 2003?" I wasn't around for the very beginning of "Sammeeeees", so I did a search for "2003" in this forum. I was expecting (or hoping) something would come up, maybe the date of someone's takeover or someone's birth/death, but the hit I got was the one for where I posted the Timeline, where it said "2003 - George comes out of his room".....lol. Seems simple enough...gah!!!

So with the other number information I wrote to Nedd about, I fired off an email to Jack. I didn't think I'd get a reply, because by the time I actually wrote everything all Flippy like and sent it off it was around 10 after 7 (or 10 after 3 PT).

My note:

And then I went back to bed for a nap and forgot about it for a while. I just checked my email and this was there!!!

Just sent this to Nedd:
Quote:
Neddy Dude!!!

We found Jack and the second piece!!!
And what's even more exciting is he's going to give it to YOU!!!!

We figured out what the threes meant!!!

Attached is Jack's (or The Red Shadow as he likes to call himself) email. It says, in part:

SEND SMILEY NEDD TO BLUE HEAVEN ON SUNDAY
HE HAS THE MAP
THE BOX WILL BE WAITING

So you need to take Happy's map, with the CRAZEEEEE red ink and go get the Spoochee Piece #2 on SUNDAY Nedd!!

WhooHoo!!

Where do we want him to post the map?

Nedd's Reply:

Quote:
AAAAA-RIEL!!!!! NICE! A BOX! SWEET! NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHERE I PUT THE MAP! If I were me and I think I am me, where would I put the map!????? PSYCHE! DON'T PANIC! I usually can remember most stuff if I think the right way. Don't FREAK. I promise I will go and stand on my head now. Also, if I find the map, can you guys tell me where it goes? THAT WOULD ROCK.

later
white r 2



ETA: It's up to you guys, I looked to see if there was some sort of secure Sammeeeee mutual account somewhere where he could post the map, but couldn't find one (doesn't mean there isn't one, just means I couldn't locate it...lol)

In the meantime, I created http://yppamsyppah.blogspot.com/

I thought about flickr, but I'm not familiar with how it searches/security. Of course it wouldn't be an issue if he created a flickr account using an obscure name or did the FLIPPY thing there too Wink

I have to go, so I'll leave it to you all to decide where he should post the map. If you want to use the blogspot addy the p/w is dduldden. But Flickr probably makes more sense.

"Can you tell me where it goes" maybe more of a request of where he is suppose to go himself???? He's the one that needs the map to find the Twinz. If we have to direct him, we could be in trouble - since none of us are in the Mohave desert area.

I thought about this too and brough the subject up to peeps, however all correspondence has been pretty lacking lately...soooooo no response so far.
