I think ATHF is a long shot, I'm willing to pass it off as unrelated.

Alright, to me there are a few things that are obvious about this wav file (dream.wav).

First, it was recorded on a really shit mic.

Second, it is processed audio.

I'm going to tweak some stuff around and see if I can find anything. I know there's something here. I know it.

[ClocksStriking13]

I FOUND SOMETHING!

I messed with the brightness and contrast levels on the letter that was attached to the same post as the wav. A secret code was revealed. I can read the first words as 'somehow he' but I can't read the rest, except for the last word, which is 'itself'. Can anyone figure out what the rest is?

I think this might be the break we were looking for.


EDIT: Somehow he watches time itself?

EDIT2: The third letter I'm pretty sure isn't watches. It might be catches

d'oh. I guess I missed that. So much for my big discovery

Hi guys, I finally caught up and I think that the fact Hatshoe's referring to old pages must be relevant (the mysterious face, doglady).

For instance, the eyes on 'Bone' and any other faces that people found when messing about in Photoshop.

Ooh, something to do with a dog and a bone maybe?

edit: Has anyone noticed that Skeletor is spelt wrong? It looks like Skeleter or Skeletcr.

I haven't been back through all the pages, but a few things pop into mind about what's important to HS and what's not. From what I recall, the "Recipe" isn't too important now, since we figured out it's about time travel. He also mentioned to me that figuring out the other document that was cut off wasn't important either.

What was important for quite some time was the @live.com account, which is toartSPLATlive.com. I think several people emailed that address, but did anyone get a reply? On his FB, when someone asked if he knew Sheldon Toart, he replied "Not anymore", which indicates that this Toart person is not the same person HS once new. Transformed maybe?


I don't know. I do think the ATHF is way off.

OMB!!!

I didn't think I'd get any reply to my emails... or at least, not that soon... but this morning at 6:34 am local time, HS replied to me! Okay, let's structure this post....

I sent her/him three emails.
This was their content (excluding the chatty bits):

1. "that page about the towel made me laugh so hard. I absolutely adore it. It's something I am actually thinking about all the effing time when
using towels. I want that graphic printed on one of my towels.

And one day, I'll have some stupid "we-print anything-on-anything" place
do just that! With your permission, of course.

What do you say?

And: Is there anything else you want me to think about? Any clues you
might want to give me?

Your site rocks. Full of riddles, or things that camouflage as riddles."

2. "I forgot to call you 'dear' in yesterday's email.
Please excuse my hastiness. You ARE dear to me, in a way. That's what your website did to me.

Also, I forgot to mention that every traveller/hitchhiker needs a towel.

Every hitchhiker knows that.

Do you have towel problems, being stuck where you are, without a chance
to get your towel cleaned?"

3. "I keep forgetting to ask the right questions, or what I think are the
right ones.

What does Aqua Teen Hunger Force mean to you? And do you like it?"

--> Hatshoe's reply (obviously in reaction to all three of my emails at once; spacing etc. as it was in the original):

"That's ok, friend; we have all the time in the worlds.

I'm glad you enjoyed!
If you make a shirt, please send me a picture of it!
I do have towel problems.
I only have one.
So I must be careful.

The Aqua Teens, however
That is an interesting question."


I'm still too excited to think properly, but some things jump out at me:

--> Hatshoe replaced my towel idea with a shirt idea. Sloppy or intentional?
--> (s)he admits (s)he has towel problems... meaning, Hitchhiker's Guide is a reference worth checking out?! Or simply meaning, HS only has one towel (whatever that stands for)... and it has to be protected in some way?
--> anyway, towels seem to be important...
--> ATHF DOES mean something to him!!! But why? HS didn't say if (s)he liked it, only that it does have some meaning.
--> "we have all the time in the worlds" -- plural. I don't think that's unintentional. Hinting at time travel/parallel dimensions again, methinks... also, telling us that we're still at an early stage of the game?

(edited because my brain is too excited to do things right)

--> I paint and make stuff all the time. I CAN actually paint that design on a t-shirt! I have all the supplies I need... What do you guys think, should I do that and send him a pic, would that be necessary to get ahead here?
--> I haven't a clue how I should reply now... don't want to mess it up now... tread lightly, picsofbits, tread lightly... think!

[dawndilion]

Towel is probably what he's referring to.

I've already edited the song's pitch and speed and I couldn't find anything other than a possible chorus sung by children, but I edited it so excessively that it could have just been a coincidence. I think i posted a soundclip of what I got a few pages back...

About the typed letters we received a while ago. I'm almost certain the letter is about Carl. More about carl's stalker. (note: hatshoe has talked about how Carl has another stalker on his twitter.) The only thing I can't tell if whether the letter was sent toward hatshoe or hatshoe sent the letter. I think I already suggested that the letter might be switching perspectives but I'm not 100% sure about that.

"Somehow he actually escapes time itself." could probably be a reference toward hatshoe which could mean that this letter wasn't sent toward or from hatshoe at all...

P.S. It would also seem out of place for hatshoe to type his letters when he's been handwriting for a while.

Came here with ClockStriking13.
Finished reading the entire thread last night.

So, at the moment we have an unknown amount of clues to things waiting in Hatshoe's documents on his site. We are still moving forward, so this new material is definitely necessary; the typed out message and .wav from toartSPLATlive.com, and these new videos he released. Now what does it mean? I am going to be messing around with these things all weekend.

I am probably leaving something out.
