I'm thinking "Jesus, don't blink, I'll probably miss something!!"

He probably got close to the tree, and there's something in the hollow that screwed up the camera and knocked him out, then IIAE dragged him to that school or some reason. Maybe IIAE had band practice, there was music happening. Didn't spot any hidden stuff, and couldn't hear any audio messages.

Well, I didn't notice too much, but the music sounded less like school marching sort of music, and more like weird saloon music. At least to me. I didn't get a great listen to it.

I did notice he said something about bears, and from his last tv show review, it seems he talks about old cartoons, so maybe he read this board and made a reference to yogi. Who knows though. I feel like the main reason this video was put up was to mostly get us more intrigued. I didn't see any coded messages, but I was watching on standard def because my computer is kind of slow, so maybe I missed something.

I can't do too much with the audio. The wind was far louder than the music, and it was drenched in natural reverb. Let's hope it's not important!

Good call on the bear thing, totally missed that reference.

First, I wish I had such gorgeous forests near my house. I'd be in them all the time.

Is it just me, or how on earth as you as accepting of all these strange events as he is? I would have assumed I'd been kidnapped or mugged, or at least thought I was being pranked. Still, either way, I also get the impression it was more meant to intrigue than give any substantial clues. Although I'll be watching IIAE closely, hoping to hear more on their end as well.

Maybe he's dealt with harsh critics of comedy before, so this is old hat.

Is anyone in the same area, more or less, as him? It'd be great to get a Google Map of the school.

Watched the video, nothing really stood out for me other than

wierd phone number sequence that is really a secret message


When referring to the person who has been harassing him.
I know we found clues but this makes me think maybe the username itself is something we missed? Dunno, just sayin

IIAE's username on the GBJ site is 000000 (http://greatbigjerk.net/node/1216#comments) with the "You are hollow" message. Not a whole lot I can think of doing with the username.

HOLY CRAP EDIT:

http://000000.net/

Someone tell me they know what this says. It's too odd to be a coincidence.

EDIT Part II:

Online translator says:

A whois shows that it was registered to a guy in Abu Dhabi back in 2002... probably a coincidence? It's a weird one, I'll admit.

(Also, he talked about me in his video, woohoo!)

I personally think that sites nothing to do with this.

Yeah I think the reference about bears was from what we said Wink

Just a random thought, no doubt brought on from insomnia-related sleep dep: I wonder if the school has something to do with whatever it was that IIAE is implying that GBJ saw/did.

Yeah, most likely ties in with it.

Well, when he woke up he had a paper in his hand that he put in his backpack. I'm sure he'll post the content of the paper up eventually. As for that site Duckman, online translators aren't very reliable, but my parents can read Arabic so I'll see their input on it in a bit.

On http://greatbigjerk.net, he says that in a few days, he'll share the envelopes contents with us, yes. Although to be honest, I already had no doubt of that. I'm pretty sure everyone already assumed that.

Sorry if I'm rambling.
