Heres mine:

I have a feeling the headlines regarding the elderly being given slusho and the tagurato lions may be experiments that they have performed outside of the lab. If this is the case, my theory regarding Jamie has being an experiment could also be true and the fact Rob is in fact a lab scientist.

another one i tried recently was about the number of deep sea drilling locations. They kept opening stations not because the petrolium had ran out (whcih would be not feasible in the period of time between stations opening), but the sources of the deep sea nectar running out. Station after station was opened, but sources kept running out bringing us to the newly opened one where they encounter problems awakening the beast.

I went along a theory of them drilling on the fault line of a tectonic plate, but upon looking at a diagram of them, it showed the drilling site to be no where near one, so that was that theory out of the window.

Anywho, looking at tagruato, the only page with real depth (effort put into it) is http://tagruato.jp/deepsea2.php

As has been noted, all the stations are named after Emperors of Japan. More particularly, they are the first 14 Emperors, "presumed legendary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Emperors_of_Japan

claimed descent from the sun goddess, Amaterasu" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaterasu

From there it's anyone's guess, but I can't help but wonder if the monster won't inherit a name from Japanese mythology. That, or while tagruato.jp is the public face of Ganu Yoshida's operations, maybe there's a more secretive division within the company, a division for whom "A New Sun Risen" isn't purely metaphorical, and whose name alludes to Japan's mythical past.

Godzilla!! Laughing Laughing Laughing "sorry couldnt resist it but what ^^ your saying is incorect jj specifically said "our own monster" meaning a U.S monster sure it could be unearthed, defrosted, whatever by tagruato corp but I doubt it would be given a japanese name! IMHO

Well, "we need our own monster" means one we create from our imaginations for US. So I don't see how that rules out giving a monster a Japanese corporation is responsible for a Japanese-ish name. And besides, this is tagruato's naming pattern, so while looking for anything is always the default, I did mention that digging up stuff on tagruato is one of the ideas.

Hi, been lurking for a little bit, and really like what you all have shared here. Kinda jumped for joy when i found this thread, though. Now i can vent what's been on my mind to smaller amounts of ridicule than usual.
The number 7: 7 friends, all who may or may not be ingesting the drink Slusho. The slogan pushing people to try and drink more than 6. The fact that most of the people who have consumed just one Slusho have found an elevated sense of awareness and strength, or a connection to their more basic animal being. In a few different instances, religious belief suggests that reaching the seventh level of awareness, or breaking their seventh chakra, or breaking the seventh seal, is a sign of the coming apocalypse. The Beast rising from the depths, and immediately destroying the whore of Babylon, before laying waste and being brought low by the second coming( i'm paraphrasing, bear with me. Confused ) All sounds a little like the trailer to me. Is JJ and company writing a vision of the end of days, with a theme that we can all relate to... big monster destroying New York, and maybe the world, because of our incessant greed, gluttony, over-consumption, et all.

Anyone else see any conclusions or clues that would lead them to a Biblical theme going on? Or am i just looking too hard.

I think someone has to take a good hard look at the page re-directed from www.youcantdrinkjustsix.com ....it has to have some significance, if only to tell us that the monster is the same creature that made the 'bloop'.

lol, I was joking. Those were two of the first conspiracies or wrong leads or whatever you want to call them. ethanhaaswasright.com has its very own sticky at the top of the threads page if you wanted to check it out.

{Edit-Its an Announcement not a sticky}

Shot in the dark
??Slusho Robots??

i'm a first time poster a friend got me into the ARG field not to long ago,but it just occured to me (its probably nothing just wanted to put it out there) theres that seemingly useless slusho mixing page. all the flavors are robots or mech's of some sort what about some sort of "mechanical monster" not sure if that road has been traveled yet

and one more thing whatever it is its got claws of some sort just looking at the movie poster you can see 3 distinct claw marks on some buildings and the disembowled statue of libirty

just thought someone might get a kick out of this

Yikes, I hope you brought your flame retardant suit with Flaming Nutter lol

We've already tore apart (and when I say we I mean those that where all here before me, I have contributed nothing) the flash on that site and clicked everything there is to click thousands of times.

As far as the movie poster, well, that was discussed months ago already.

It might serve you well to read through the stickies at the top of this forum, they should help you get up to speed.

Very Happy ^^^^^^^^^ Very Happy

"Evils abounds. Demon-Born. Eat two sandwiches" still has me wondering, if it's not something more I'll eat my zooming cool Slusho! hat.

The whole Slusho! history page drives me nuts. I swear there's a clue in there somewhere.... the exclamation points, the odd language and word choice, the pattern of filled cups on the bottom, the donkey/fish/octopus and hammer/mitten/cheese craziness, the temperamental crab, the "twins". There's just too much weirdness going on, even for a "Japanese" site. I've wasted hours of time on it though, to no avail. Crying or Very sad
