Finally, some progress. Maybe now we can get a semi-straight answer.

Emailed TM at FrontDsk to ask "Who is the watcher"? Is it the same watcher who was mentioned by Jagt in his "The watcher is always just outside your window" comment?"

And it was definitely TM who gave this reply "a clear timeline and a clear goal are in order. All else is distraction to the ear and glint to the eye." Reckon he wants us to stay on point..... Rolling Eyes

Seeing as its Super Bowl week, and I've already got football clues on my mind, I wonder if "goal" could relate to Sunday's game? In our timeline we know that Brody is going to AZ and planning to leave there on the 4th, the day after the game.

Anybody try coming up with an anagram for switblad(e) and a smil(e)?

I have fiddled around with it but haven't gotten anything.


No anagrams, but I found this poem. It does not look like it is connected though.

Why the Earth Shakes

A good friend of mine believes
the pre–Colombian gods
have broken their ranks of slumber
to bind again with rattlesnakes
the backbone of our continent.

They have removed the sainted masks
assigned to them by conquest,
dusted off obsidian blades,
and painted their priested clowns
for war with buffalo tail brushes.

He claims they've set Wyoming's
medicine wheels in motion,
de–christened Cahokia
as the Mississippi bleeds, then
uprooted Mound City beneath the woodhenge sky.

The Piasa Bird circles
over Illinois bean fields.
And Quetzalcoatl
introduces himself
to border patrolmen with a switchblade and a smile.

The pale boulder which powdered
wild bones to grist for white bread
while Coyote's powers slept
is rolling to an end, he says.
In his eyes, the wild children play on quiet stones.


I found it on this link: http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smp/1844710122.htm

There's the obvious computer definition. In which case I would ask, who's avatar? We already noticed SkareKrow's...unless he changed it again...

There's the definition for avatar meaning higher being. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar

Also, has anyone else read "God's Debris"? Prolly not connected, but thought I would mention it anyway. The character in that book calls himself an "avatar." Saying there's only one avatar in the world at one time, and he represents the peak or highest level of human consciousness and understanding.

After that I sent an email back:

It is a good book. Smile

That video looks like the same one to me...the picture on the side is probably what they want us to see.

edit: this picture

That would be considered an icon and an avatar.
