 		Kiwi Sailor - signs permitting fishing at Turtle Pond
put up in October 2009 were the subject of protest
Signage has now been reversed -- but the longstanding and widespread practice continues.

In my hometown, lately I've been walking each day watching and trying to photograph fish. I personally think: holy mackerel! People shouldn't hurt the little buggers. They are sacred.

But given you raise it, here are numerous pictures confirming that fishing is still commonly done at Turtle Pond despite a sign put up just this year.

I'm not anywhere near NYC but am still hoping to have an epiphany about the episode that had
41 42 28 (furlongs) 43

If you remove the 28, the numbers add up to 18 (see Tuttty's stats in comic book) that someone mentioned. So by analogy to "Lost" episode, the magic and secret and mysterious nature of the "Lost" numbers may be at play with this sequence. The example may be enough to not include the "28" within the series except to measure distance. Someone mentioned it means you go 3.5 miles into the North Zone. I wonder what would happen if you somehow used 41 42 43 to set your course from Columbus Circle. Predictably, if I were in NYC, I would most interested in equestrian trails and steel bridges using gothic architecture, and be trying to figure out whether in following an equestrian trail you might go 3.5 miles. I believe there are 3 trails for horseback riding but 3.5 miles is approaching the total of all three combined.

 		Ep 3 ending location
Hey lubbers. Long-time listener, first-time caller. I'm fairly certain about the ending location for ep 3. I always thought it was the Jackson Hts/Roosevelt St subway stop in Queens based on the colored backgrounds and the throwing star placement, but the nail in the coffin is at 6:00. Look at the dots in the background. They're an identical match to this stop on my subway map. Purple, light green, orange, yellow, orange, blue. this is the only time in the episode where this pattern occurs and it's only on screen for a few seconds. It has to be it!

thoughts?

 		Which subway map?
Curious which one you are using?

The official MTA/NYC Subway map only has E F M R 7

(blue, orange, orange-ish, yellow and purple)

or maybe I'm wrong.... but it sounds good, if you can show us.

The G train used to stop there it was a local train that went down to brooklyn and it was Green. It used to be the E,F,G,R & 7 that stopped at Roosevelt Ave. The G no longer stops there, the M line is there instead.

 		Hi all, just joining this hunt, and I have a few ideas. But before I post what I was going to post, I like the possibility of getting off the subway at Jackson Heights, because some stuff in the poker episode seems to fit: Black Tom "turns Jacks into Queens" = "turns jackson to queens" and there is a jackson ave. and a queens midtown expressway that intersect around there.

Also possibly important: the cards on the table in texas hold'em are also known as "streets"

but now for the original reason I decided to post, for people who want to take a different direction, I have an idea about the "The Code of All Codes" from episode 1. In general, the expression "the code of _____" applies to a set of rules that apply to something. Also, the puppets suggest that they will use "codes" as clues. So, "the code of all codes" is the rule(s) that apply to all of the clues. The code of all codes involves tracing a footstep, meaning that the overall rule is that every clue leads to tracing footsteps, not driving or taking public transportation.

 		Are we sure-iken?
Just a thought....

Everybody keeps referencing the ninja star in Larry King's shoulder as a subway stop, or it being near the Roosevelt stop....

A) It's physically not on a subway line. It's just floating in a sea of blue. If it's supposed to represent a stop, shouldn't it be directly over a red, or orange, or even blue line?

B) If you ask me? It looks like it's more directly over East Elmhurst, and to the right of the Astoria/Ditmars stop on the N/Q line. Perhaps over St. Michael's Cemetery?

 		If it's 12356478 then Toms clue in 4 should be used in episode 6 if it is going backwards......right? Unless...Tom's clue is in the right spot between 3 and 5 and should be used in episode 5 to follow the way Toms clues have worked and Crothers clues should be used between 6 & 7.
bwahaha Or...Episode 4 stays where it is....Toms clue from episode 3 gets used during episode 4. Toms clue from episode 4 gets used in 4 because he usualy flashes forward but this time he is backwards so technically he stays where he is. Crothers Flashforward goes between 6&7.

Shocked

 		ep 3 ending location
http://terminationstation.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/nyc-subway-map11.jpg

here is the map I'm using. Look at the Roosevelt Ave stop and compare it to the dots behind Larry at 6:00. they're practically identical. I think this is huge.

 		Okay. Here's a simplified version.
The episode is called "The Black Tom" so, it AUTOMATICALLY screams that it will be placed AHEAD.

There is not much to the episode. Tom's "clue" (Northern part and the quote) is backwards. This leads me to believe that TOM'S CLUE and TOM'S CLUE ALONE goes BACK (Episode 6)

Now. At the END of Episode 6, remember when Mulligan was saying "Is that it?" "Is that the end of the skit?" - - - Then in The Black Tom, we START with Crother's saying basically the same thing "You bloomin' video makers can;t end this here episode like that!"

Get it?? With The Black Tom clue removed or properly place, Crother's is referring to THE END OF EPISODE 4.

Then, Clue 42 is 28 Furlongs. Soo.... Wherever we find ourselves at the end of Episode 4, we are to either finds something 28 furlons long, or travel 28 furlongs... or if you DO travel MORE than 28 furlongs, you;ve gone too far.

As for Clue 43? Crother's simply says "Stop that!" and is NO LONGER FULLSCREEN, rather, he is at the right hand lower third. And his missing hand is shaking. And then he's upside down. And then it's over.

I kinda trailed out in Clue 43, but the rest kinda makes sense. No where are we at the end of 6?

Does anyone know how recently the G was stopped and the M started going there?

I think this is the most prominent clue yet, actually.

Yes, I pointed this out a few weeks ago. But there are also other clues. The mall in the ticker is in Forest Hills, PA. The directions to the mall are clearly stated not to be a clue, of course, but not the location of the mall. Then there is the reference to Willow Lake. That is not a stop itself, but close to either Kew Gardens, 75th Avenue, or Forest Hills.

The dots in the background are still moving as long as you see them, so I think that they legitimately can be taken as the route, but not necessarily the stop.

There is also the possible Mets reference of Crothers hat.

The G stopped between the time the treasure was buried and the release of the videos, February, if I recall.

See pg. 58 of this thread for discussion on on forest hills and these subway lines.
