Cool Whip's not for eating . It's for... other stuff.

See, I was thinking more along the lines of a PSM sidebar - Pop & Lock, breakdancing robot videogame characters, out to earn money and save their planet.

Anyway, it's going to be dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees. You know it is.

Heh... um... not really. It sours quickly, and it kind of stays with skin. "Eau d' stale dairy product" is not a good mood-setter.

See, folks, this is the beauty of ARGs: we all bring our collective experiences to the table for the betterment not only of the game, but for each other .

I'll forgive them if Melissa's new spacecraft takes off from one of the locations.
See, I'm thinking her spacecraft will already be operational, and when each of us arrives at the exact coordinate in our area, she will, from space, vaporize us. Cold and precise, like the beginning of Real Genius.
What no one has noticed is that the coordinates spell out "YOU'RE NEXT DANA" across America.

Reuters 8/24/2004: In a bold move, Miscos$oft announced that in conjunction with the FBI, "Operation BeeSting" was initially a sucess with 220 suspects of bootlegged Micro$oft Windows purveyors and Xbox pirates quickly arrested at puzzle coordinates provided by their inhouse Beast team. The flush of sucess was wquickly turned to embarassment however when it was quickly discovered that the only purveyors of illegal Windows copies were 2 unannounced locations in the Cayman Islands.
In an upcoming bolder move, RIAA announced a new online musical ARG with the primary rabbithole clue being a secret message stencilled on an exposed part of Janet Jackson during the Sujperbowl.

The discovery that this was actually an ARG for System Shock 3, and that the Operator was Shodan all along.

Let me revise that whole "dancing robots" thing. Not only will they be dancing, they'll be doing the Macarena!!
And it gives a whole fun "cryptic clue" with the killer.jpg puzzle - Sho w Dan a through the Looking Glass ...
See, there's meaning in everything .

So the address and Mapquest map for it are incorrect? Because a friend is from Austin also. But the Spam website lists it at by the Hormel plant.
So will you be there on Tuesday?

A limo will pull up, and when the door opens, we'll see this.

The SPAM museum is the building closest to the intersection specified by the Austin, MN coordinates. The plant and official headquarters are elsewhere in town. Austin is my hometown, and I was just back visiting a few days ago. Even took my wife to the museum for her first visit -- highly recommended, BTW.
I'm sending my father there tomorrow, and am bummed that I wasn't there this week instead. The location doesn't have a pay phone as far as I remember, and the notoriety of the museum makes me wonder if many sites like this one are just for interest and only a few will yield useful clues/information...

I think we should call this whole 24th thing off now... I went to the coordinates and found these people "practicing" for tomorrow. I think I've solved it, by arranging the people in a certain fashion. What do you think?

Oh yeah, and I made some "apparrel" for us to wear to the coordinates, so we can recognize each other. What do you think?
Here's a couple of others wearing another of my designs:
