 		Title is "Look who's gone "Happy" on us!!!!!"
wonder what he'll sing about tonight?????

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=amerigovespoocheeeee
Look who's gone Happy Rogers on us.....He crumbled, Sammeeeees.
playlist: Yes, he crumbled under my thumb.
He can't help himself. He's telling all.
Transcript:
Quote:
Hey...
I'd like to apologize to everyone for crumblin'... It was not the plan, right?
Mr. Abbott is a cruel and sick man, I couldn't take it, I'm sorry.
I have faith that you guys will get to Mrs. Paul Foucher before Johnson. Such a half wit, heh.
Other than that, things are not that bad here today. I saw the others for like five hours. Johnson had this huge dinner for us and we actually watched football which was great.
I have to say, the dinner was amazing, but the scene kinda strange as we were prisoners, hostages or whatever, right?
Listen, I just hope I didn't ruin anything for you Sammeeeees out there. I know how hard you're working and I let you down. Sorry again.... very sorry.
Well, I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Toast to the end of this Spoocheeeee, ok?

oh...oh, oh yeah yeah, Heather thank you for the Coronas. Cheers (His only smile)
Hey, maybe kick back and listen to some Cyndi Lauper. She bop is great on her acoustic CD.
Take care.


As Cyndi Lauper sings She-bop, the slow version, we see the familiar white text on a black background:
Quote:
WHY THIS SONG, Sammeeeees?????
?????
Does that song
mean something special?????
....LIKE HIGGS IS
WEAK AND A LOSER?????
OH SHE-BOP!!!!!!


From the video and from the message Heather got from Higgs saying "I toast to she, he and a we , we get:

In the text, there are some letters in caps; IBESEOGBATNRYHHEBO , looks like an anagram.
In the source code is a very long string of binary that translate to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the way to five is the most difficult. dalton trumbo is the elder you need to get piece five from. this guy sees himself like a mobster in a hollywood version of spoocheeeee. he's nuts. his whole life is movies and spoocheeeee. he's true blue spoocheeeee. dwin gave the tall man two documents that will help whoever finds this. if you found this then you know the tall man. tell him when you're ready and the tall man will get these to you. good luck to whoever is taking this on. i hope we all live to see a happy ending.

eta: transcript of video and fix an error.

For those of us who weren't in chat, could someone please explain how those pics led to this? It isn't clear, I'm afraid...

Haven't a clue about the first picture, the second picture is of Che Guevara, and the third is of Amerigo Vespucci. The pictures didn't actually lead to the YouTube tonight, but my guess the last one would have been the one that would have, had we recognized his painting.

 		What happened in chat was this. When first we saw the update, the three pictures weren't yet posted to the blog.
Chixor found the page by searching YT for tags: tattletale. She's a good Sammeeeee! Smile
