I know what you are about to read can be mixed up in the junk mail pretty
easy. I hope it doesn't. You have no idea who I am, and I wouldn't mind
keeping it that way. At least for now. To know more find my blog. I am
sorry for being this way. You see there is a program roaming the internet
capable of learning anything. Fortunately, it has a problem with
pop-culture.

Drexel

When does one find True Romance? When it is found, love tastes like a
peach. Snow is for sale in Hollywood. Christopher walks for this
associate.

Has anyone thought about this yet?

Wasn't there a file called True Romance? or perhaps Feb 14th? I makes me wonder "Do the cows really fly backwards at midnight?"

Aside and somewhat of topic but what the heck. Does anyone I the Arging Community have any experience with player Psychology? It seem to me that we are always very trusting and go running off after the bright shiny thing that gets waved in front of us. Any thoughts?

Look at http://www.epinions.com/content_25979031172
When does one find True Romance got me here.

Under Patricia Arquette, it says "She tastes like a peach."

Snow is for sale in Hollywood deals with the plot of the film.

The last clue is a reference to Christopher Walken, leading us to Blue Lou Boyle, and the blog we needed to find. www.bluelouboyle.blogspot.com

 		Slyfox this was solved around midnight last night under the Topic "Spam? I guess not.." I mistakenly posted my email here when it had already been brought up under "Spam? I guess not..." If you go there you'll find lots of stuff... This thread here is pretty much useless..
THanks

I'd found the posting for the blog in the thread but how it had been found wasn't posted or spoilered out along with it. I had assumed that it had been Googled or the likes rather than worked out from the email. Hence my confusion.

The word is out, and my work is not even close to done. I see they have found the blog. The web traffic proves it. Ah, they never found the trail, just the destination. I am sure they have questions. They need to find the trail.

 		I think I'm stating the obvious here but sometime you can miss the obvious.
In Drexel's original email to *me* the sender's address is DrexelMaddisonSPLATcomcast.net whilst in his Blog he seems to use the Pseudonym Drexel Walker. Is there anything in this? Also from reading the Blog it looks like he knows a lot about TOBI already. I also assume it was he who hacked the email address list from Ideltech which is why we were all contacted. Has anybody emailed Drexel directly? Is is worth sending a tentative enquiry to Ideltech to see if they can shed any light on who Drexel Maddison/Walker is? Is there any significance in the use of the terms "joe," "housemom," or "crackwhore"? How common a name is Drexel in the US? I've found three towns called Drexel in the US is this a clue?

I'll shut up now.

 		i emailed drexel last night and he replied today.. at the time we weren't able to find the webpage so i asked him for more help and he replied with this which still follows the thread of the true romance movie but we have to be missing something based on his update of today.

I can say however the goods that I currently hold are part of my bosses

I hope this helps.

Two threads for the same topic and I don't know where to post either. But I did a search too for the name Drexel. No such luck when going to baby name sites. But Drexel is a University as is Madison (even though Drexel's last name is Maddison). Don't know how it helps really.

 		True Romance
I may not be shedding any new light, but Drexel is a character from the movie True Romance, starring Christian Slater/Patricia Arquette/Dennis Hopper/Gary Oldman/Christopher Walken, etc.

Drexel (Drexl in the script) is the pimp character played by Oldman. Blue Lou Boyle is the name of the crime boss Christopher Walken's charceter works for. Christian Slater's character is Clarence Worley, and Patricia Arquette plays Alabama Worley (his new wife in the film). Pretty much all the "hints" in the "Spam" mail from Drexel were references to True Romance, building on the fact that TOBI can't handle pop culture references.

A very cool idea I think. If more of the puzzles look like this, I'll be enjoying the game quite a bit.

When Drexel responded:

Quote:

he was referring to Oldman's "Drexl" character in the movie, who was holding drugs for Blue Lou Boyle. When Clarence killed Drexl, he took the drugs (the snow being sold in Hollywood) and he and Alabama drove to CA to sell them. You should check out the movie, its pretty good.

As for the Maddison and Walker (and the different spelling of Drexl) I'm not sure yet. I thought they were tied into the movie somehow (Walker=Walken?) but I'm not so sure now.[/quote]

Forty-Seven hours staight now. I have now consumed 68 liters of cola in that time. When my eyes need a break from the screen I take the two liter bottles and build stuff with them for a few minutes. Amazing what can be made of these things. I can actually construct a shelter. On that doesn't leak like this miserable studio. I haven't got by the security, but I did get past one layer. These kids need to be more inventive when coming up with passwords. To simple. He used a mother's maiden name as a password. Well, I am just need to peel the onion. My only worry is Ideltech finds a way to trace me. I am bouncing off so many broadband cable connections there is little chance, but I still worry. So far they don't enven know I have my right foot in the house. Let us keep it that way.


He's giving us a clue how to hack into Ideltech???
Go back to the history pages and figure out the maiden name of one of the founders and then look for a login?
Or maybe we have to be employees first, then we'll have access to a login page. Hmmmmmmmm.
