It turns out they blocked us. A quick AIM profile search proves it. So they're either real jailbait, in which case red is going to scare them with drama, or if they're really shitty PM's, he'll just tell them to have a better method of doing things. we'll all sit down and have some tea.

 		Just got this notification from Twitter:

Quote:
BahHumbugElf is now following you on Twitter!


Is he part of a game? I can't find anything on it here, but it seems like he's following many of you (Tresbien, Leyton Stone, ineffabelle, Lairosiel, etc.) He also has a strange avatar of a blurred triangular shadow.

If there's already a thread on this, kindly throw fish at me and direct me to it ^^

 		Comingsoon.com shows only two Christmas-themed movies, "A Christmas Tale" and "Four Christmases" so maybe it's related to one of those. In any case, next to a cold grilled cheese sandwich there are few things worse than a grumpy elf, so we should try to cheer him up.

 		So I found this: http://www.giantpinkelephant.blogspot.com/ while Stumbling a few months back.

It hasn't updated in a while, so I just left it in the backlog of old bookmarks. But then this Halloween it's been updated. And it's... really strange.

A warning, the newest post is kind of... disturbing. And there's music that starts when the page loads, so watch out for that.

Notes from the Insane Asylum

Written by Skip Headington, an inpatient at the Ancora State Hospital (Ancora Asylum) in Camden, NJ. I am allowed 1 hour of internet time per day, so I thought I'd express my feelings and thoughts in a raven-like manner.

 		Reading it now. Wow, this stuff is pretty messed up. Interesting guy though, you can really sort of feel the personality behind the madness.

EDIT- OK. The first two are weird. The last two are WAAAY HELLA CREEPY!!!
Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

RE Edit- I agree with this comment "i'm calling bullshit. this guy is too articulate and probably writes these in advance.If not, then i don't really think he's that fucked up because look at how he talks, how he speaks, how articulate he is. obviously well educated. other than the weird ass subject matter, he seems like he would be a normal dude. zombie piranhas though
oh hey anon"

 		Hm. So apparently the Ancora Hospital in the title does exist. I don't find it under "Ancora Asylum", but it is "Ancora State Hospital" and "Ancora Psychiatric Hospital".

Fake? Troll? ARG/trailhead? Real? I'm not entirely sure.

I found his blog! I read BHE's latest Twitter entries, did a search for "random acts of christmas" + "sugar plum" and finally found it here:

http://santasnewblog.blogspot.com/

It's even tagged as ARG (even though that kinda breaks that TINAG feeling)

A Christmas game! I'm so excited!! Very Happy Who wants to start a new thread?

Don't tempt me, as I am indeed a chronic thread starter.

I very much enjoy the prospect of new games but considering I didn't get an "invite" to this game, someone else should start a prospective thread, yes? (Please, someone do, as I'd like to lurk at very least.)

 		For a name, how about BahHumbugElf: An Alternate Xmas Story (or keep it simple and just use BahHumbugElf)?

Saki, great work finding the right blog out of the many devoted to Santa. And degravedi please join in -- all are welcome and invited.
