 		Him using the word insight threw me off. Putting "next step" in quotes however did help me.

Also I think i got it .... this part is from memory ...

Seuss was often asked to pronounce his name. His family was of German heritage and would have pronounced the name
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"zoice" he often said it rhymed with "voice"


this below, is from wikipedia.....

wikipedia wrote:
In order to continue his work on the Jack-O-Lantern without the administration's knowledge, Geisel began signing his work with the pen name "Seuss" (which was both his middle name and his mother's maiden name). His first work signed as "Dr. Seuss" appeared after he graduated, six months into his work for The Judge (a humor magazine). The family, having immigrated from Germany, would have pronounced their name as "zoice", the standard pronunciation in German (according to census, Geisel's mother was born in Massachusetts, and it was her parents who were the immigrants). Alexander Liang, who served with Geisel on the staff of the Jack-O- Lantern and was later a professor at Dartmouth, illustrated this point.


EDIT :

This was on Wikipedia I didnt read far enough ......

wikipedia wrote:
Though Geisel himself has been quoted as saying "Seuss -- rhymes with voice", the name is almost universally pronounced in English with an initial s sound and rhyming with "juice".[2] Geisel also used the pen name Theo. LeSieg (Geisel spelled backwards) for books he wrote but others illustrated.

 		Ah I never heard of that before. I tried all the 1 syllable ryhmes for Seuss (pronouncing it as though it rhymes with juice).

I didnt think of doing it with that pronunciation. I tried "voice" and "Voice" but it didnt work. I have to go to class now, but maybe its another word that rhymes with voice.

Edit:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's choice. Good job Das.

cat.txt
It will be yours to make.

"So I sat in the house
All that cold, cold wet day."

[spaced down at the bottom of the txt file]
GEE SAM IS SeXY...(translated)


For the above, my added comments are in brackets [] the parenthesis were already there.

 		Nice find Das, Nice solve Nicole. We are really tearing through whatever TDC is throwing at us... this is a good sign. We're picking up steam for the beginning of Phase Two. Excellent teamwork guys...


Now, I take it we need to go another step further with the "So I sat in the house all that cold. cold wet day" quote... any ideas? And also, we should look into the"GEE SAM IS SeXY (translated)" line at the bottom of the cat file..

plants and grass....insight....cat... there has to be a pattern here I am missing.. no?

baaack to work.. once again, nice solve nicole, nice job Das.. we're killin em out there!


EDIT:

The Next Line from The Cat in the Hat:

Quote:
"The sun did not shine,
it was too wet to play.
So I sat in the house,
all that cold, cold wet day.
And as I sat in the house,
wishing for something to do,
why in came dear husband with Thing One and Thing Two!"

 		ok As far as this line goes:

"And as I sat in the house wishing for something to do why in came dear husband with Thing One and Thing Two"

which is the next line after the "cat" file line:

"So I sat in the house,
All that cold, cold wet day. "

Ive tried ALL 25 ROTs as names on Flikr, and Blogspot addresses.

Nada. So far every solve we've gotten has come after a hint from TDC. It would be nice to do it without the hint, but lately it seems like we lack a direction to go in, unless he guides us..

As for "GEE SAM IS SeXY...(translated)" , I believe its an anagram, but im not sure if the one Neil just showed is the correct one. At the very least, if I cant solve the anagram, I'll try to list important keywords found inside it, in order to possibly get somesone mind going.

EDIT: I forgot to add all the letters that are either capitalized out of place, or inputted lower case, out of place:

insight file: H, E, M
cat file: A, e

HEMAe? Also, theres this "translated" at the bottom of the cat file we need to figure out..

 		I'm pretty sure he emails/ims late because both TDC and the Cm are in California. So my time is about 1am-3am eastern, for him it is 10-12 pm.

I'm not sure where you got that line but the beginning of the Book is:

Quote:
The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two.

And I said, "How I wish we had something to do!"

Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball.

So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all.

So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!

And we did not like it. Not one little bit.

And then something went BUMP!

How that bump made us jump!

We looked!

Then we saw him step in on the mat!

We looked!

And we saw him! The Cat in the Hat!

thats weird... I couldnt find a full script of the Cat in the Hat, so I googled the line he gave us in the cat file and came up with someones Blog that apparently used just the first two lines, and then added her own ending regarding the cats her husband brought home...lol wow i feel like an idiot.. i just went through 25 ROTs of that damn thing... uggghhhh...so.. the next line is:

"I sat there with Sally.
We sat there, we two."

Back to the drawing board..lol..

As for the word "Translated" after "GEE SAM IS SeXY", so far the only language there has been references to is French (Paris) so I decided to translate the line into french:

LE SAM DE GEE EST SEXY

"Sexy" doesnt have a word in the French language but the word "attractive" is: Attrayant.. probably doesnt apply though.

I looked for anagrams of the French translation, but have yet to see anything of significance..

Now its time to ROT the line:

"I sat there with Sally."


EDIT: Ok.. I tried out all 25 ROTs of "I sat there with sally" on Flikr and as an address on Blogger... funfun.. now I think I'll try the two lines together: "I sat there with sally we sat there we two". WIsh me luck!

EDIT: Nothingggg. Used all 25 ROTs for "Isattherewithsallywesattherewetwo" on Flikr and Blogger.. this is verrry taxing.. The only thing I havent tried is YouTube.. I was savin that for last cuz it was the most unlikely, but seeing as though we're nearing the end of his puzzle "trail".. it may come down to another video by Tom. Ugh.. here goes..

 		I think you found the wrong lines because Tom doesnt have the quote exactly right. It should be:

Quote:

So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.


But Tom wrote:

Quote:

So I sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.


So the exact lines from the book might not be used. The last thing about Sam being sexy is weird, of course. But maybe the line "It will be yours to make." has to do with altering the books lines. I'm not sure, it all seems like randomness to me.

Edit: Also about the txt file names, I don't think they are puzzles on their own. The plants and grass was what you would find (literally) in a stegasaurus. The Cat IN the Hat, so you would find a cat in the hat pic. Insight I think is just because it is supposedly giving us insight into the CM's plans.

Well as for the "it will be yours to make".. Im almost positive thats referring to the password "Choice" meaning the "Choice will be ours to make". This almost goes along with what the CM was hinting at in choosing sides.. but why would TDC be referring to that?

And can anyone else make anything out of the capitalized letters? H, E, M, A and the lowercase e in "SeXY"?

HEM, Ae... this HAS to mean something.. they dont just capitalize random letters for no reason..

 		Maybe we are to pay attention to the capitalized letters in GEE SAM IS SeXY. Along with the HEM possibly it is something.

Great solve on the Hat Nicole and Das.

EDIT: Could SAM be referring to Green Eggs and Ham. I AM SAM, SAM I AM?

GEE SAM IS SXY HEM A / GREEN EGGS AND HAM

G _ EE _ / E _ _ S / A _ _ / HAM

Leftover Letters: MISSXY .. Miss XY? Eh.. Probably nothing..

Letters needed to complete: RN GG ND ..again prolly nothing.


The "e" in GEE SAM IS SeXY is lowercased for a reason.. maybe that is what we should look at.. although I admit..the spelling of "GEE" does make me think of anagrams..

ANAGRAMS:

For: GEE SAM IS SXY HEM A

Hes My Same Age Six (Russ?)
He May Message Six
See My Game Has Six
