So I'm sorry to report that I was robbed over the holidays. I've involved the police – they told me not to post for awhile just in case. They say my Coelacanth connection must've been a shady character. I think he thought I was rich or something. The good news is that none of my fish were harmed. And I'll be ready if it happens again.

To those of you I know "in real life" – don't worry. I'm fine. I don't think they took anything that can't be replaced.


Another post already. Looks like Josh is following mysterio's chat instructions. So will he be uploading the whole comic book soon?

The tone of the post

This post was certainly more upbeat. Also, having read the trasnscript of the conversation he's keeping to his word. I'm not sure if he'll keep the ruse up or slip. But if he's got to go to Fergus Falls to find the clue as well maybe one of our team members might run into him (Josh). That would be so cool.

The ARG gods did listen to our prayer....LOL Very Happy

If none of the ARGers make it to FFSH -- I sure hope Josh goes after he sees the map -- and reveals what he finds there!

Got really bored so decided to rewatch the Cloverfield Blu-Ray in Special Investigations Mode. One line caught my attention, although I'm sure it's not connected.

(Hud talking about ocean in tunnel)

*HPLATT is likely referring to the coelacanth, presumed extinct for over 80 million years until rediscovery in the 20th century. Madagascar's first reported coelacanth was found in 1995*
*EDIT* Direct text from the Blu-Ray - not previously discussed..

Eric: 23

Josh: System Error: Stop trying to trick me

Eric: Oh really??

Eric: Just tell what the "IT" is.

Josh: Uh...

Josh: System Error: unknown command

Eric: I won't tell anyone.

Eric: Goon?

Eric: Wait. Are you even the "real" Josh Minker?

Josh: Atticus

Eric: What do you think of when you see this: http://image.mcomet.com/mm_w/2008/07/05/3470/1_0_2008_07_09_02_30_45_32812.jpg

Josh: I think of a movie with too much blue and black

Eric: What does Black Ops have to with you?

Josh: quite a lot

Josh: notice the fact that it is a picture of the winter's howl in kino der toten

Eric: OH! That's in the 60's and Super 8 in the 70's. So it's a BIG zombie?

Josh: sure

Eric: Sure? Really?

Josh: But...

Eric: But what?

Josh: THE WINTER'S HOWL DOESNT APPEAR IN KINO DER TOTEN, BUT SOMEHOW IT IS IN THE MYSTERY BOX!!!

Eric: Okay?

Eric: I think i chat later.

Josh: FINE!

I don't think that proves that he is the real josh minker... what was your point?

Also FYI the josh minker facebook profile image is now the internet meme troll face... so either he got hacked or he's telling you straight up that he's a fake.

dug up
Im confused

Are we sure the guy feeding meat to cage 3 is joshes dad?
So many people are calling him Minker Sr., but in the trailers he's Dr. ______ (I forgot and only am on my netbook (its crappy second browser windows mess it up bad)) and In the photo from revitalistic he's got a russian sounding name. Am I missing some direct connection actually separating these three very similarly looking gentlemen? Seems like the same guy has 3 names, no? Ive watched Felicity so I understand that can happen, lol, but here's where I have a problem. Minker sounds like a white guys name, say what you will (and you will), but it just does. Fish collecting, no matter how old the fish, sounds like a white guys hobby. Im just saying, Is it remotely possible, that the bearded white guy holding the Golden Tone Generator is actually Minker Sr.

Just me poring my head out, disregard if necessary.

(least I looked for the right thread!) Laughing

As far as the name thing goes - even with the most 'stereotypical' of names - with cross cultural relationships, I'd think any surname could belong to any person. And of course people can change their names. Remember this:



But am I 100% sure the man feeding the creature is Josh Minker's dad? No.

Ditto


Josh's dad was said to be on the run by Mysterio, and eventually himself. As Rockyette sited in the eval, changing the name is a good way to hide, and Minker, Sr. apparently had every reason to stay under the radar, IMHO.

But Mysterioso sent Josh a pic of his dad and it was that guy,,,

I would assume that after the incident at Area 51, Minker Sr left the military and assumed another name as Professor ......... to have a career in the private sector as a biology teacher.. which is where we see him in the film...
Perhaps the movie will explain where he fled to after his truck hits the train that caused him to be in hiding all these years... altho I suspect that if he stole a vitas relic (is this what the cubes are called?) from the train wreck this would explain why he has been hiding from the bad guys who must know he has one and want it ..
Make sense?
Jane, please pass the tin foil..

Thanks for your patience and help here.
I figured out what was confusing me and you all are going to laugh at me, I just know it.
For some screwy reason I thought Mysterio (Alexander Kaslov) was signing a photo of himself! Embarassed
That was just toooo many name changes for me, lol!
Now my question would be how old do you think Josh is in 1978?
