Safeguard Storage is not 111 Empire Ave. It's 115, you need to recheck your info.

That is the point, as I pointed out in the other thread on episode 7. If you look for Safeguard Self-Storage, 115 Empire Avenue, Brooklyn, you get a marker on Ebbet's Field Apartments, 1720 Bedford Avenue. If you look at the marker, the address on it is 111 Empire Avenue. It is an error (sort of, Safeguard does actually occupy lot number 111 as well as 115, but it is not their mailing address). Errors are noteworthy. The marker is not where either address really is. You can find the actual 115 Empire in streetview on Empire Avenue, a large yellow boxfront. That is another error.

Why does a leprechaun (or pirate) wear green?
To hide their gold.

gifts

whatever they are they must not be that important or they would have led to something. maybe they are just a like door prize like you get when you go to a shower, and only a chosen few get one. Wink

Re: Monroeville Mall
Code of Conduct

This is probably not relevent to the hunt at all but I thouht it was funny so I wanted to post it. I was going through episode 3 AGAIN today and was sidetracked by the ticker, AGAIN.
Anyway....The ticker says that they don't let you take pictures inside of the mall so I went to the malls website to see the rules and I just can't believe the rules at this mall. I think my local malls only rules are no smoking and no skateboarding or something. In their Code of Conduct they list a million ridiculous things but they don't mention not taking pictures (unless I missed it?)
The last one has me baffled Confused

http://www.monroevillemall.com/shop/monroeville.nsf/CodeofConduct_English.pdf
The one that says you can't wear anything that impinges on the sensitivities of others in the mall. LOL wtf?

A digression....
Funny. It goes far to prove the point that the further you go from "the big scary city" the more dangerous reality gets. In and around NYC you may have three or four rules (no skateboards, gotta wear pants, etc) but if these rules are any guide, this place obviously has some problems.

And it's written by idiots. My favorite is #18 - they obviously want to say that assistance dogs are allowed, but it actually says that any dog is allowed, so long as that dog is in the presence of a person trained to help handicapped people.

Also, redundant. They pronounce a blanket prohibition against "illegal" activity, then go on enunciate several rules which are obviously already covered by statute.
There's a reason they're called flyover states.....

Who Cares?

Why don't you just can it and stop prattlin' on and on like a broken record?

Who cares what you recieved, if anything at all? Certainly not I. So, unless you want to show any proof at all that you received anything, there is absolutely no purpose in your repeated bellyaching and sour-grapes attitude. Enough already!

Dude, I think I fully qualified my post as sufficiently out there, and as something I don't even "really" believe. No need for your sarcastic comments.

Clues....

Cup
When the hole is blown in the poker table to reveal the compass, and it turns to NNE or equivalent to 11, then.... would you notice before and after what happens on the table? Before it happens the captains silver drinking cup is more to the right. After it turns it is placed more left where if there was a compass point there, it would be pointing at the cup. The poker chips and cards are now moved too. The captain then proceeds to pick up the cup and drink from it and throw it down at the end.
We see these cups again and again. In the Monkey Business episode after the comic book scenes Tom has his finger directly pointing at the captains cup at 4:17. Please look at this!

Then in the ghost episode at 2:14 it shows Tom with his arms crossed behind the table with the cups on their sides and he goes under the table which is kind of weird to get to Mulligan. Look at this too!
When Mulligan throws the cannonballs and bottle at the parrot I notice a whistle on the table too.

Can the silver cup be a kind of trophy of some sort? With the whistle on the table it makes you think of sport.

Tooth stuff/ Extractions
We are first directed to the mouth when Captain tells Larry King to mind "the gap in yer face".
When the monkey picks up his mail and partakes in its contents he becomes part of the comic strip. But how? With steroid and protein (makes you think of heavy muskled) toothpaste ; and woven kevlar floss (makes you think of the rope that Tom points to); and a syringe (shot)? Monkey swallows the toothpaste apparently and becomes a large gorilla. When I think of general anesthetic in dentistry it is for tooth extraction not tooth cleaning.

The address is for the General Anesthetic order is from "Casper", Wyoming. Weird since "spiritus amicus" (friendly ghost) is said in the next and final episode when the parrot's head turns around.

The other extractions I can think of is when Captain bets and wins and cuts off Crother's arm and when Crothers loses his leg to the gorilla. Can we discuss some of this if anyone has any ideas?

Santa Guy

As far as sending the order form away hoping to receive a gift in return...kudos to those of you who have the guts but maybe we should stop bothering that Santa guy or we're likely to get possessed by Casper the Friendly Ghost, haha.

Please don't rail on me I just think it's cute. Wink

Thanks for the Mulligan Transcript, very generous!

I just recently found out about this, so I want to make sure: has the money been claimed yet? Or is it still out there?

Re: the 2010 song about the unluckiest man in the world
written by a recipient of the concealed "gift"

Spaniard wrote:

One of those so blessed with the gift, commonsense2, was so prescient as to, in February 2010, have issued a song "Bad Side" about the unluckiest man who lived on the bad side of the moon. Lady Luck turned her back on him. It uses coding in lyrics to describe a poker hand. And of course a poker hand here also provides coding. Now is that a clue or homage?

That's why he was trying to intentionally disrupt the forum because he did not want the Nelson theory pursued or explained. I am not in NYC or motivated by money and so I've been trying to explain it.

See press release showing the "Born Talent" card and compare it to "Holy Mackerel."

Then see part 11 of Scavenger Hunt which is on youtube.

Absent the usual boilerplate rules, common law good faith rules apply to a contract offer that was accepted by everyone's performance and participation in the hunt.

If you look on his bio page it says he has performed at Wild Spirits - the same shirt the pupeteer was wearing in the picture capn slim posted
