Dear Slusho

I am very interested to share Noriko's dream and spread Slusho! in the West. I have long been waiting to begin the spread of Slusho! here, something which I know everyone will enjoy as much, if not more, than the Japan. I would like to buy several Slusho! machines for my store.

To the poster above - welcome to the forum!!

It seems pretty apparent that they want us to email them, what with 2 links and all. Here's what I sent, maybe they won't take me seriously but it amused me, anyways:

Dear Sirs:

I am interested in purchasing a Slusho machine for my Kwik-ee Mart in
Springfield, USA but would like more details. When do you anticipate
being able to deliver the machine and have it installed? If it has not
been approved by the FDA, is it legal for you to offer it for sale in
the U.S.? Please let me know the answer to these questions, as well as
the price, as I am extremely interested in your product.

Regards,

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Jr., Ph.D



Following on the Simpsons Movie marketing, and in keeping with the "feelie" aesthetic, I wonder if anyone emailing/calling Tagruato is in a position to host a real Slusho! machine?

 		The "we are coming, we'll find you soon!" is awfully ominous...

Sent them an email as well. Satoshi still has the same auto-responder he's always had.

 		Keep an eye out...
For those of you obsessed enough to keep tabs on these sites, literally, I have a suggestion.
If you use Firefox or any other Gecko browser (SeaMonkey, Camino, etc.), Opera, or Konqueror (or it's brethren, like Safari) you can set a tab group to open as your 'home page'. Add this baby to your tab group:

When that stops giving you a 404, it's time to start a fresh thread and have a ball!

 		We will send representatives and scientists who will train you on how to operate our machine, and preserve the flavor of our special ingredient, Seabed's Nectar!!

Scientists!!, it really sounds like you can't let this stuff go above freezing.

 		Nice to know that they don't consider equipment that requires a SCIENTIST to use it a bad thing... 7-11 gonna start hiring Ph.D.s for counter work just to compete?

 		Recorded it
This is my inaugural post, so I'll make it useful. I called the number listed and made a recording of the message I received. The message is in both Japanese and English, in that order. If someone is interested in doing so, a translation from Japanese to English to verify that the first half of the message is simply mirroring the second would be helpful. I have not left a message yet, though I am open to suggestions for something reasonable to say. You tell me what to say and I'll say it.

Edit: Here is an additional off-site URL in the event non-members are unable to access an attached file: www.omgod.com/stuff/cloverfield/SlushoDistribution.mp3

I am currently very interested in joining your Slusho! team. I currently am the sole owner of a convenien store located in New York City, and I am sure my business will blossom with this new edition of a Slusho! machine to my store. Business is down, but I am sure it will boom, and hopefully, this will revive my store. I will pay no matter what the cost. I myself have never had the oppirtunity to taste the sweet nectar of Slusho! but I have talked to many people who have had the oppirtuinity to taste your product and do you know what? I receive the same response every time. We would drive miles to your store only to taste the sweet nectar of Slusho! I anticipate hearing back from you, and I anxiously await the arrival of my new Slusho! machine.

Ok now onto something important. The pig has been mentioned a couple of times. In vid 2 on Jamie and teedy, I have stated before that there are 3 stuffed animals. There is the original teddy from video 1, a stuffed animal that looks like a pig, and what i thought was a lion. I am on my phone right now and cannot view the vid, but from what i remember, it looks like that teddy on the slusho page. Now completly assuming(and i mean completely) the teddy refers to teddy hannsenn, then could the pig represent jamie. Now lets remember, Jamie said in the 1st vid that she didnt want it(the 1st vid) on the internet. Could this be revenge like plot for teddy. She sleeps around, he thinks she is a pig. He pretends not to know, sends her a gift that will either be bad, or maybe hes giving her slusho now, and its poisening her. I do not know. The website is in his name. Maybe she sends him the vids and he puts them up there, and later will make a mockery out of her.
Just throwing stuff out there right now.
