 		New post on Grace's Blog. Followed by this comment...

Quote:
so many words to right said...

broken mirrors, shards of reflections, pieces of the other you. can you see it? out of the past, out of the present, an inexorable slide into the future, a line forever reaching, a string going forever upward into heaven.

red in tooth and claw, red in blood and red in rage. anger at father, at mother, at world. the world changes around you in an increasing pace. omnes vulnerat, postuma necat.

overhead, you see the sky. the sky so big and broken. the sky the color of television tuned to a dead channel. conquer the wind. conquer the air. conquer the sky.

soon it will happen, everything will change. soon you will see, you will hear, you will taste and touch and watch as the world crumbles around you. soon.

mother cooking dinner, can i help you mother, can i help. silver knife cuts the hand, makes a red line. don't touch. you could cut yourself. you could hurt yourself. go to your room.

under the spreading chestnut tree, i sold you and you sold me. karen is dead. you killed her. you killed karen with the silver knife under the spreading chestnut tree.

run run run all the way home, all the way to your room, don't look to the sky, the sky cannot help you.

down the drain, all the blood goes down the drain. swirling like in psycho except that was a movie and this is reality. reality like a rock. love me like a rock.

everything fades to black. the show is over, the credits roll. look, it's your favorite actress in all the starring roles. peek from your fingers, the show's over now. everything is black.

remember this, a kiss is but a kiss. replace the ss with ll. ilsa looks to rick. here's looking at you kid. a beginning of a beautiful friendship. rewind and everything begins again.

something is in the way, something stands in the way, something makes you forget. don't want to remember the silver knife or the fade to black. forget the show, it's not important, it's just a show. look, the blood's not even real, it's just chocolate syrup.

and the man in the seersucker suit waves goodnight as the credits roll and we fill our roles and take our places and put on our masks.

the ticktockman said "repent harlequin! repent!" take off the mask and underneath you are you. everyone is everyone else.

ask a question and get another question. the trick is to know all the answers beforehand.

near, so near. you are so close. don't stop.

 		One more shot at the Morse:

By messing around with the spacing, it can be made to read

MEET AT ELVS

Its Graceland, everything is Elvis. So maybe here?

The scrabble post referenced that, but it was so hard to understand, it seemed as though it was a fantasy almost? Not an actually occurring event.

WTF is up with the line stating "you killed karen"? Did Grace kill her? i'm so totally friggin lost. lol.

Worth a shot I'd say. Got nothing else to lose.

Maybe a little humor?

"Who?" he said. He moved his arms up in a weird fashion and I backed up. "No, no, they didn't appear until 1964.

Noticed another one while looking for keywords. Guess that takes care of the dates.

Vagabond:
"It's not the destinations," he said. "It's the journey. No, no, that was 1973."

Could someone post what Lonesome said? I can't access it.

 		HI booba. Just that KIDOSEA RVJ DBHSCX substitutes to FLOWERS AND OBJECT which reminded me of your pic of the gravesite tokens.

Tho Grace has already visited Elvis' grave she mentions "Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead" where those characters must routinely repeat their actions.

And Lonesome Artist on FB wrote:
Do you know what it feels like to be trapped in a body you can't stand?.....

My name is Kevin B.

ETA: Asked Lonesome Artist yesterday "Sharing one (my note:body) with your roommate?" Maybe his latest FB comment is his answer?

 		Hi booba. It was the top Decrypto choice & have just done it by hand with the same result so guess it's OK as a choice.

 		Could be.

I was thinking along the twin line something like RICHARD AND NATHAN.(Leopold and Loeb) I know not twins, but they came to mind.
Names are usually tough for the online decoders to pick up.

 		Why couldn't it be, "playing for advice"? It seems to fit with the topic of the post, that she doesn't like solving puzzles that lead to more puzzles. "Flowers and object" don't really make sense.

This was a comment on Grace's newest blog post...

And this one was added to the other blog post (the one with the line picture) yesterday

Quote:

the misfits on the march said...

the first word is all there to spot
though missing is two diagonal lines and a dot


It's looking like MEET AT ELVS is correct?

Seeing as she's already been to Elvis's grave, and nothing there... What about the bathroom at Graceland? Where Elvis died? Just a thought? I dunno. I'm drawing a complete blank. [/quote]
