 		The new text appears to be all single words, and some are very short. This makes things difficult; just dumping the image to a file and running strings is no longer necessarily going to do what you need it to do. For some of these there was no way to get them except to look at the binary files side by side to find the word.

Here's what I have so far.

Quote:
BEE_LOGO: hard
CUTEBEE: house,
BUT_HOME: my
BUTABOUT: as
BUTTHEHI: a
BUT_FUN: with
BUTHONEY: spy
BEEBACKG: on

dana: that
danapicnic: on.
chloe: eye
farnsworth-window: pigs
danadress: cowardice,
margaret: of

figure: something
langshivel: as
smoker: color
bee_garden: and

BEEWITHH: the

CUTEBEE2: I

Must be SP and her love of games.

If you're cowardly, you're yellow.

Ya, my latest attempt is: I spy with my little eye something that is as hard as a pig's house, and the color of cowardice goes ever on and on.

Closer, but still thinking it's not right.

Ahh, with thanks to sapagoo:

 		Sapagoo and Rowan teamed for the solve:

I spy with my little eye something that is the color of cowardice, as hard as a pig's house, and goes ever on and on.

A yellow brick road.

Hooray! You've come to the end of the yellow brick road! Well played!
Lots of people have asked me about the Flea, which is like ewwwwwww. But since you guys were clever enough to figure out my little riddle, I recorded the last conversation I had with that nasty guy so you could see how basically sneaky and gross he is and yuck.

Ack! I hate it when you sneak up on me like that!

Hands to yourself, mister!

Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth
That is the law and the whole of the law

grope:
!hndshk Princess

Bug off before I step on you.


fail

reveal:
!label seeker

Mind if I just call you Buggy?


reveal:
!label seeker

Hey, call yourself whatever you like, you're still the Pious Flea to me. So, what's with all the roads?


reveal

that is the law

Keep your raincoat closed, buddy! I don't need to see ANTYTHING you want revealed. And what does that have to do with roads?


grope:
!seek transmit proc

Yeah - she's still got like hickey marks on her neck. Gross.

So you got her to build stuff for you! You honey-tongued little bloodsucker, you.


grope:

Ewwwwww! Kiss you? GROSS.

!reveal Princess:

Princess >> !behold truth

I bet you say that to all the girls. Listen, Hoppy, I know what happens to the girls you kiss. As far as I'm concerned, you can kiss your -


!reveal Princess:

seeker >> cmd proc

I've heard the Handsome Prince line before. What you're REALLY about to turn into is a splotch mark on the floor, that's what.


GROSS

Sounds a bit juvenile, doesn't it. But know we know the Flea calls himself the Seeker.
