The green and yellow mechant flag symbolizes the Oakland A's baseball team. The A's play the Yankees....which leads us to Yankee Stadium.

I also received in the mail, a Catfish Hunter baseball card on the Oakland A's. Catfish Hunter played for the A's AND the Yankees....which also leads us to Yankee Stadium.
There are 4 puppets, and Joe Dimaggio was #4 ...which leads us to Yankee Stadium.

The Holy Mackrel was a double meaning. 1)Phil Rizzuto used to say "Holy Cow", and 2)A mackrel is a FISH, as in CATFISH HUNTER...who used to play at Yankee Stadium.

When you call the phone # on the GA AD, the Captain gives you numbers:
20 = Bucky Dent
17= Oscar Gamble
16 = Whitey Ford
14= Lou Pinells
21 = Paul O'Neill
12= Alfonso soriano

THESE are all Yankees...which leads to Yankee Stadium.

The puppets are Pirates....which stands for the Pittsburgh Pirates. they played the Yankees in the World Series years ago at Yankee Stadium.

Yankee Stadium is known to have "ghosts".

(Note: My presentation would be even better and more on point..but i am too lazy to post links of Yankee Stadium pics, and links to pics of Yankee players, in between each reference).

The GA made note of "steroids" in their ads...and Roger Clemens was on steroids.

The big gorilla, signified Dave Winfield....
Tom's interpreter was really Hideki Matsui...
The cut off arm of Crothers, was to signify Jim Abbot (perfect place for a link)...
"I hate Queens"..was because Yankee fans hate the Mets (or at least...Mets fans WISHED thatYankee fans cared about them).
Notice the several "PITCHER" references... (pitcher of Tutty)..



Last but not least...the "clue of all clues"... The CROWS NEST. The Yankee Broadcast booth is the Crows Nest, because Susan Waldmans nauseating voice, sounds like a crow!!! RAWWWGer clemens is a Yankee....

GO DIG!!!



WOW THAT MAKES SENSE. Dont they call the Yankees manager "SKIPPER"...AND he LOOKS LIKE POPEYE WHOM WAS A SAILOR!
And CATFISH HUNTER; there's FISH in the SEA where the Pirates are sailing and they never seem to HUNT for food but this IS is a Treasure HUNT. And #17 stands out as its THE most commonly used Yankee jersey number (Shelly Duncan, Lance Berkman, etc); and perhaps THE most famous athlete in OAKLAND sports history over the past 20 years is none other than former Golden State Warrior Chris Mullin whom wore NUMBER 17; coincidence? I DONT THINK SO.


LOL Be careful Bill Dolla ...everyone might get mad at you.

 		clarification
(and I don't even know why I care)
I didn't say you "knew" the puppeteers, I simply assumed you had found them, or where they might watch a game and had decided to set a "trap". I also have mentioned several times that I kinda respected the skullduggery of that idea, if indeed you were planning it.

Second... you seem like a smart person. Somewhere inside you must have realized that posting "at 6pm the treasure will be found" would have evoked some kind of response from the rest of the forum. You wanted it. There's no surprise to me that because it's now 3:45pm on Wednesday and the treasure still exists and you are still posting and lurking that people are going to doubt, perhaps mock, perhaps even ridicule or attack you. I have done only doubt.

I also never threatened you, or the puppeteers. That was the same person you said accused ME of knowing the puppeteers. I simply reminded you that there are people mad at you for insulting them. The last line of your rant included "you people are dumb" or that we are "the reason entertainment is dumbed down" or whatever. I was simply stating that incendiary remarks like that are bound to draw attention to yourself. At no point did I threaten you. At no point.

Finally. Yes. I absolutely outed your information about the "gifts". It absolutely came from you. I absolutely did that. I made it quite clear that I would trade information, or that I would be searching for information however I could. Yes. I shared information about the gifts on this forum. Yes. I got that information from you in a PM. Yes... I've been trading info I have either figured out, stumbled upon, received in trade, or what have you. Like trading cards. I made it public on the forum that I was interested in that kind of commerce. Have I handed it on to others? Yes. Have they given me information in return? Yes. Have I made or tried to solidify deals with other players? Yes. Am I currently in league with anyone? Maybe. I've also turned down deals, have broken deals for various reasons, and have tapped into people solely for the purpose of gaining knowledge. Guess what? People have done the same to me. Big deal. It's a pirate's game.

All of this involves me because I simply tried to organize this forum for like a day or so a couple of weeks back. At that point, EVERYONE was trading information openly, and sharing ideas, and brainstorming, and it was exciting and slowly becoming fruitful. Now? It's a waste and just pointless.

Meanwhile... people are still running with your Yankees idea, so.... whatever.

CAPN: We already cleared the air on everything previous...YET, you continue to harp on it. I just brouhgt up, how YOU jumped on me each time...not the other way around as some of you portray it. Like I said previously "I never said I found the treasure". I said "I have a hunch it will be found". Not only did I explain the hunch..i explained down to the DETAIL of what went on during my trip there. So top trying to play that role of "I was bragging about finidng a treasure". Maybe some of you need to learn to read and stop being insecure and emotional.
Second...your guilty conscience of "double playing' people is kinda funny...because YOU weren't the main one I am talking about. the main person KNOWS who they are...and has stayed out of this for good reason, and better keep it that way.

You can play the "trade game", and all of that...but don't make it look like I am the bad guy here. I could have EASILY posted that Yankee joke, and let you all misdirect and talk about it for 3 weeks...but I was nice enough to say IT WAS A JOKE. I should have let you all keep talking about it.

Yes...there are threats. You are talking about "i know people that wil get you if you win"..etc... Why bring it up?? Is it suppose to scare me??

On a final note.... it is cool to be a "pirate' and trade secrets. HOWEVER... there are rules to the trade. (not just talking to you)
1.You do not tell someone you are splitting 50/50, and are exchanging CONFIDENTIAL clues or info ...and then turning around and doing the same thing with 3 other people. Thats not how it works. If you want live in fairy land and be a pirate...then know there are consequences for pirates who do that as well...right??
2. Its not just exhcanging clues for clues... its PMing people and running your mouth and making accusations about people that you cant backup...just to get ahead. I know EXACTLY who you Pmed ..and EXACTLY what seed you planted. Dont make me go there. Remember.. I could be PMing you under 3 diffnames, while you talk about me to my other name.

honestly...after you admit the double dealings on here...I am shocked that people are dumb enough to work with you on this.

Oh..and its not just you ...but the other person that gets the info from you.

I can't even believe the childish behavior in here right now. I'm pretty sure everyone knew you were joking Commonsense, please just get over yourself already. The more you continue the more ridiculous you look. You keep saying that Cap'n Slim is coming at you but if you read the posts you are the one stirring things up here.


Missry is right... You're acting corny now. I'm not tryin to diss you, do/say what you want, but you're starting to make a fool of yourself. Let it go, keep it moving. As for me, If anyone comes at me sideways, I will not dignify it with a response, so don't bother.

 		All Capn Slim did by telling the whole world about the gifts was make it so I don't trust anyone and am definitely not telling anyone about it in detail or sharing pictures

Not to be rude but....I'm guessing by your previous post encouraging Commonsenses behaviour that most of us here are older than you.

 		TinTin's skirmish with the gorilla
RHAAH! RHAAH! RHAAH!
There is a notable gorilla scene that caught my eye in the TinTin books. In that forthcoming movie starring the Captain's friend, the roseline (like in Kit Williams' MASQUERADE and in DA VINCI CODE) was once again a key to solving the mystery of the pirate treasure.

It is in "Black Island." Our hero is climbing the tower of the castle when suddenly he hears a "THUMP THUMP" RAAOW. "A gorilla!"

"Hit him, Tintin!"

RHAAH! RHAAH! RHAAH!

Then the gorilla throws a brick through the wall and TinTin and his dog escape through the hole.

So the gorilla says RHAAH! and they say WOOAH.

 		and Crothers = "Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth" = Lou Gehrig -> Yankees!! (sorry, had to...)

just to point out, to go along with the "listen to Mulligan from the very beginning"... in episode 1, when the captain says that there are spies listening to everything they are saying, the scene switches to Mulligan and Black Tom, and there are two "lightning strikes", which consist of two bright flashes of light focused on Mulligan's face only. Also, it seems like, of all the 'clues' that nobody has figured out yet, most of them are said by Mulligan...
