Rob, my only flaw with that one – although, I know that it was never actually shown who burnt it, but assumed because they lived at the Calendar and it was the home that was burnt – is the message in Anniversary.gif: We, so far, are in a good place. as N predicted the body was left and noone cared but us.
Which makes me think that they knew it was there as a body, but hadn’t acted before to tamper with it (or else why not just steal).
So, the prediction was likely made AFTER knowledge it had been burnt, with the expectation the heroes would leave a corpse.
Of course, this has some precedent, as Waiterbot left a whole heap of corpses in his house for a year – and they may still be there.
By the way, was it just me or did anyone else start thinking of the musical Annie when they saw the video title?
Wow. That’s a rather sad revelation.

Guise before this becomes a watership down discussion, suffice to say, I saw it when I was a wee kid of 5 too (along with Animal farm!) and when I saw it again 5 years ago with my girlfriend, I think I got just as freaked out heheh.
(oh, and Fiver over Freddie any day of the week; not to mention that crazy bunny general!)
Great comic though, thanks for the laugh at work!

Guise, I did think of Annie. If we’re dealing with musically inclined red-headed step children, I think we are royally boned.
Box is to be orphaned and taken in by the cruel big rabbit, who already has loads of advent calendar children so as to get welfare checks for it’s 90-a-day carrot addiction.
Little Orphan Boxey, escapes at after travelling with Dirk Benedict and Lorne Green through space, meets up with a tall, bald guy (Waiterbot) and returns to avenge his parents slaughter with a brief musical number or death defying stunt atop a roller coaster.
Waiterbot then goes on to take over the orphanage and becomes known as Big Daddy Waiterbot – he’s only in it for the money though – and he still pimps out Waiterbetty to Legotron who has a habit of removing orphans’ heads.

STAR WARS ???
Obviously people must have caught on this before, but maybe I’m a bit slow…
I am so frigging stupid! We all KNOW how mad Matt is for Star Wars, right?
The burned santa was Anakin a’la end of Revenge of the Sith (I’m sure everyone caught that earlier when he was taken away at the end of the 06 advent calendar).
The bunnies are like the dark side (or at least, a counter side to the Force of Xmas that we know and love).
Burned crispy santa was trained by the bunnies, and now has been resurrected as the bunny in red (a la Vader and the emperor!).
The sounds, the deep deep voice in the videos, the clicking could be similar to the deep breathing that Vader has in his voice box (Don’t rabbits click their teeth or something?)
Am I grasping at straws here? Why does it seem to click?

Maybe, Divechaz.

That’s quite the concept.
So… does this mean, according to that theory, that we NOW KNOW what’s going to happen next?

LOL….well, possibly, I do kinda see Box as Luke; he’ll be the new hope LOL (God I’m a geek, huh?)
I mean, Tigerboy is Chewy, right?
Cocky, gruff Knacks is sort of a Han solo figure? (notice how pally the two of them are?)
Maybe the mysterious “N” in the diary is the emperor type figure? (Or could the N stand for Night or the “knight” king?)

Hi again, team! Been following every step but haven’t had a chance to comment lately. Looks like everyone figured out anything I wanted to add, but I did notice that good old H.U. actually commented on some of those Youtube videos he favorited. No new clues in them, though.

He seems to be irritated by the treatment of the pictured bunnies, but respects it, and raves about the Amalthea ones.

Bear w/ me:
I remember walking into 3 toy stores looking for 07’s advent calendar. When I asked my best dealer (lol) for 07, he said they were all bought by one person (an older lady I believe). O_O
1) what in god’s name would some one want w/ THAT many ACs?
2) he didn’t say what the damn thing was themed on (last years was a Walk in the Park or something)
So when I found a place that DID have them, I was confused. WHY IN GOD’S NAME IS IT PINK AND NOT X-MAS THEMED?
Even asking the employees didn’t help. They merely said if I wanted a christmas one, I could buy last year’s, of which they had a crapload.
This is what I’m thinking: Playmobile, notorious for messing w/ people w/ nonsenical presents, decided not to bank everything on this new unicorn princess dealie, and in some places (here in San Jose at least) are still selling last year’s.
As for Box 23, I’m still working that out. On another hand, why is Box (the son) talking like a baby? Wasn’t he using proper sentence structure last year? Maybe I’m dreaming.

she may be giving them as presents- to grandchildren, maybe?
As for no princess castle Advent Calendars in sight- It’s probably due to the distribuitors. Let’s be honest, the only reason you would have gotten one is BECAUSE of this Advent Calendar.
I say- someone find the Knight one.
That’s the one we need to Watch.

Dio and Lex–I noticed that about Box, too. Maybe something happened to him. (an attack? did the bunnies ever say they killed the one they couldn’t turn?)
Ghosted by Vanilla Fire @ 12/03/2007 7:08 PM EST
Why is there so much focus on Box?
Ghosted by dohopoki @ 12/03/2007 7:18 PM EST
I think Box is important becuz, to our knowledge from our exp from the AC, he is the only cross-species result of a Mare (whom are all essentially born from the ACs) and an outsider (or someone not from the cal). I mean, he’s not like normal children:
1)he seems to have powers (zap)
2) he required a AC box to “metamorphosize”, thus does not grow like a normal child.
Also: Mare’s mother. We can’t have seen the last of her. Perhaps her violence at Box as a child has changed him for this year (if I remember correctly, she htrew him across the house, right?)
Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 12/03/2007 7:31 PM EST
It’s cause he’s changed. He’s not the Box from the Last Advent Calendar. So it naturally draws attention.
Although, he does seem to be speaking like MegaMare… Maybe it’s a Genetic glitch.

And I absolutely agree that to hear a rabbit scream is one of the most horrible things in the world. Since several of you know what it sounds like, I can only assume you heard the bunny in my backyard screaming as my stupid puppy bit through its ass and broke its spine. Lovely.

red herring.
It’s a photoshop file for a generic about page for some dame named Annie- but it’s fake… loaded with Loren Ipsum.
All I can think of is that he may have sneaked some old latin into the text- or anagrams. One Moment, and I’ll copy the text.

Kinda reminded me of the templates for iWeb on the mac. When u make a new page, it just has that nonsensical text in a diff. language and generic photos (not that I’,m saying the language is non-sensical, I just do not know the language and thus what’s being said).

Sorry 4 double post, but I grabbed it. Lemme throw it up on my photobucket.
Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 12/03/2007 8:44 PM EST
Loren Ipsum is a generic text meant to look like gibberish to show off Page Layout. It’s actually latin. I was gonna copy it and see if there are any clues, but it’s been removed.
I think Mista Maat may have left that up when he bought the domain and forgot to take it off. Especially since it’s been removed. I should have saved that file but I didn’t think it needed perusing.
do you have it unflattened? You can steal the text from the unflattened layers.

I know AMALTHEA is in the Last Unicorn, but I don’t think I’ve seen it (if I did I can’t remember). Is that the Plot? Then maybe the Princess at the end of the Unicorn Calendar is Lady Amalthea… Sent to Fix Things.

I see. Thanks, I thought i might be latin, but to quote Phoenix Wright :”I don’t know Jacques about French”. XD
As for unflattening it, photbucket doesn’t like straight psd files, so if there is a better place to slap it up, I could use a hand. I’m a bit internet impaired at times. ^^;;;

Those photo shop files are just templates that came with the site. They’ve been there since june.
Ghosted by dohopoki @ 12/03/2007 9:12 PM EST
relax people, Loren Ipsum is a web design tool to fill with text a template that’s being designed but there’s no text at the moment. It doesn’t mean anything, and you can check how it works and how is used at: http://www.lipsum.com/ So it’s probably that we caught a template that wasn’t supposed to be found and that would have been used for another purpose.
Anyway, Dio and Lex if you still have the .psd file, please, do send it by email and I’ll check it out in case there’s an actual layer that it’s worth comenting…
