Nipples, Duct tape and thumbtacks……4 words that should NEVER be used in a sentence together. Even if it is…….for Science!!!

Ghosted by Dan @ 04/21/2008 5:58 AM EDT


Dan, what even if it’s me saying it?

Ghosted by Guise @ 04/21/2008 6:38 AM EDT


I suppose I could make an exception for you Guise, since it is…..for Science!!

Ghosted by Dan @ 04/21/2008 10:31 PM EDT


But….I LIKE nipples. Come on guys, don’t you too? They’re the best next to the juncture of the shoulder and the neck.

On another COMPLETELY NON-SEXUAL note: Lucas!!!

What is this NIPPLE non-sense? It’s it non-sense?

Ghosted by dohopoki @ 04/22/2008 5:46 AM EDT


Dio: Shoulder and neck, now you know you are speaking my language!

…and what about George Lucas?

Ghosted by Guise @ 04/22/2008 5:57 AM EDT


I’m kinda partial to nipples on my thighs. Although nipples on my stomach is best.

And for the record there never have, nor ever will be nipples on my back.

And Dio:

George Lucas can suck my non-existant boy parts along w/ Cadbury of America. I have no respect for one that bows to fan-wankerery. I refer to the cutie psycher whom hangs with a Pokemon Trainer and has telekinetic sparkly DOOM.

Doho: ….Guise started it!! *points*

Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 04/22/2008 7:32 PM EDT


Nuh-uh, Dio started it!

Damn. You got me.

LUCAS!!

Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 04/23/2008 11:18 PM EDT


Compare and contrast, Lucas’ hair and this.

Ghosted by Guise @ 04/24/2008 3:21 PM EDT


Y’know, Kirby eats people and takes their powers. I wonder if Lucas tastes like ice cream? Kirby must taste like marshmallows; I’ll bet Yoshi knows. He eats people too. XD

That, in no earthly way, was meant to be sexualized in any shape or form. HONEST.

Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 04/25/2008 1:29 PM EDT


Kirby probably tastes like a strawberry milkshake flavoured Peep.

Don’t worry, Dio, I’m sure we’re all mature enough here not to take an innocent comment and turn it in to disgusting, degrading filth. Right, guys?

Ghosted by Guise @ 04/25/2008 8:24 PM EDT


I have found that literally every character in Brawl reminds me of food. I really need to stop snacking while playing. Hooray for Wavebirds (wireless GC controller).

*eats marshmallows and soft serve ice cream*

Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 04/26/2008 4:02 AM EDT


XP Peeps. The only good Peep is a chocolate one. Or a microwaved one. lol

FM: LOL Corey Haim. That makes my day.

Ok, serious-er question: I’m planning on animated Mare in Maya (animation program, CG), and besides walking, is there anything you want to see her do? Make it simple (I suck at Maya), and please limit it to only what one figure is doing; I don’t have time to render 2 figures. XD

Ghosted by Dio and Lex @ 04/26/2008 2:58 PM EDT


Dancing the monkey, or the swim?

Ooooooh, hand energy blast?

Ghosted by Guise @ 04/26/2008 3:23 PM EDT


I vote for the hand energy blast too.

And I disagree with you on the Peeps, no Peeps are good Peeps. Everyone knows that Peeps are nasty and cause cancer!!

Ghosted by Dan @ 04/27/2008 1:17 AM EDT


Gotta take Mare back to her hardcore roots and have her flip the bird

Ghosted by Rob @ 04/29/2008 2:06 PM EDT


ok, it may have been almost 6 months since someone last posted, but I have thought of some crazy things.

Just to start on the right foot here, I may be a bit younger than most of you guys (12), but I am fluent in the art of interneting  I may be weird sometimes, but I am very nice, I have been reading the box 23 threads since it popped up, I have been reading the advents for a while, and I have a hatred for mermaids.

ok, thats my personal info, now onto the crazy ramblings I thought up.

1. the “hizz in a tizz” thing with the highlighted z’s? the z’s look like four seven’s if you take away the bottom part of the .
2. 16 Almatheas on the top, 1+6=7, 4 boxes. 7 and 4 make 7777.
3. The box on the top of the thread secretly says “expectant”.  Could this mean that Mare is preggy again, and the Almathea’s are “baby juice”?
4. Since there was no Santa for the 08 Calendar, will the unseen Santa from 02 take over the post?  And on the subject of Santa, is/are H.U./The Advent gang in hiding because without a Santa, things have fallen into chaos?
5. Maybe we have been looking at NoMooseCot(Soon to come) wrong. Maybe NoMooseCot-02 means that something from 2002, the year of the lost Santa, is coming to 2008(NoMooseCot-08)?
6. The crab thing: weren’t the parasites from Cloverfield seem like mutant crabs?
7. Tying into H.U. or the whole Advent Family hiding, there’s a Cloverfield monster toy coming out on Sept. 30th.  Repeat: There is a Cloverfield monster toy, with some parasites and a statue of liberty head, that are in scale to attack Lego’s and Playmobile’s, coming out on the day after I post this.  Maybe that’s why H.U. or the whole family is hiding! The Cloverfield monster toy is attacking! Also, for the 7777 references in the articles, I see some links. T.H.I.N.G.S.=the monster’s Zilla-and-Spacey-ness.  Madballs=the grossness of the puffy things on the side of the monster’s head. Unsolved Mysteries=it’s been quite some time since the viral messageing started, and the monster is still a mystery to the ‘net. Also, the monster could be controlled by Hare and slightly amputated Claire, and they’re gathering old toy lines to fight the good side with.
8. The vodka bottle on the first NoMooseCot pic could be refferenceing Box starting to drink at the end of the last advent.

man…that is a *lot* of crazy ramblings. well, that should be it for now. just to note, my “Cult of the Cottonball” saint name shall be ”Jewish Saint Andrew”, minor patron saint of going on the internet for days on end, and H.U.’s name for whoever is wondering, is 83(according to his Youtube account).

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 09/29/2008 9:20 PM EDT


whoops, I mean H.U.’s age, not name.

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 09/29/2008 9:53 PM EDT


…..am I the only one on now? is there a new thread for this? :I

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 10/01/2008 8:20 PM EDT


and there goes a tumbleweed….

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 10/03/2008 11:10 PM EDT


yes, nothing new lately, but great rant andrew, and though you are 12, this web is open to everyone (im 17 which is kind of young for an 80’s stuff site)
i hope mat hasn’t forgotten about us and will have some halloween thing coming up

Ghosted by Graham @ 10/11/2008 6:26 PM EDT


hey, thanks, these things just come up after you’ve had too much sugar, you know? in fact, thats the reason I figured out my theory about the Cloverfield “help us, it’s still alive thing”.

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 10/12/2008 9:53 PM EDT


also, just a side note, Knacks posted a new MySpace update (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=128522310&blogID=440169129). lets see…he’s probably reading up on animals, so if my Cloverfield Toy theory is correct, he might be wondering what sea animal can mutate into it. also, a comment on it went like this:
Some Guy:Knanks missed you man. I jope all ur family and love life are as good as I last read.
Knacks:Some things are good, others not so much.
It’s probably just me, but it seems he, HU, and the rest are in the same area, trapped in the basement guarding themselves with stuff Hare left from last year. the rest of the comments I won’t fill up the box with.

another weird rant from the depths of my mind! well the only thing I have left is a new Box 23 Slogan. “Box 23: The Few. The Proud. The guys who want to beat out the Photog Blog”

hello tumbleweed….

Ghosted by Nizzler @ 10/27/2008 5:08 PM EST


So any thoughts on the “barnum” caption for the Waiterbot, its too short really for an anagram and nothing good can be made from it.

I wonder if it has something to do with Barnum and Bailey Circus if some type of circus theme might be coming this year.

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/03/2008 3:13 PM EST


I think a lot of the problem is for a while comments weren’t showing up when we tried to post them so people stopped coming by. Now that we can post again things may pick up again.

Ghosted by Dan @ 11/04/2008 4:28 PM EST


I can’t wait for it to begin again.

Ghosted by Fungusmungus @ 11/04/2008 5:55 PM EST


well..the tumbleweed that’s blowing back and forth here IS starting to look a little Xmassy with those red and green hues, y’know? ;)

Ghosted by divechaz @ 11/05/2008 9:05 AM EST


I wonder if another Advent Mystery is gonna happen again this year.  probably not, since it would kill…..*whittles wood*

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 11/10/2008 9:44 PM EST


Matt, I meant “it would kill Matt”….*falls asleep*

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 11/10/2008 9:46 PM EST


What about the “Arcano.jpeg” in the properties for box 23. Hmm can’t think of anything other than the meaning of arcane: Known or understood by very few ; mysterious. Ahh I can’t wait. HA HA

Ghosted by Pig Malien @ 11/11/2008 7:09 PM EST


Anyone else kinda disoriented by the Halloween Countdown homepage vs. the Advent Calendar blog? LOL, I like it though, since I tend to mix Halloween and Christmas together anyhow (y’know, like making “Horror Carols” and stuff).

Man, I’m SO EXCITED for the Advent Calendar! Actually, I’m really excited for Christmas itself too – I’ve been listening to Christmas music on my commute in the mornings lately. :)

Ghosted by Frakkyfire @ 11/12/2008 6:22 AM EST


think I might have cracked arcano, its Portuguese for “secret, concealed, hidden, undiscovered”

seems to fit well with an unrevealed box 23, more importantly I wonder if instead of anagrams this year since we are on to them if Matt has moved his clues into other languages

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/12/2008 4:13 PM EST


also when I blew up the box 23 i was looking at it till I was crosseyed but all I could see was the trix rabbit

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/12/2008 5:46 PM EST


Still, it’s not every day that you see the Trix rabbit imbedded in an advent calendar, eh?

Ghosted by Frakkyfire @ 11/12/2008 10:23 PM EST


amen to that frakky

on the main page they stated that http://www.arcano.com is looking interesting, on the page is the spanish word for password, haven’t been able to crack it yet using, knack, kuse, box23 and barnum.

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/13/2008 3:41 PM EST


ok x-entertainment, advent adn matt don’t work either

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/13/2008 4:02 PM EST


Thought I’d copy over to here, but the face I was talking about earlier? Check out the nose and eyes and the mouth.

I think we should start a whole new thread for this year, that is unless we’re just trying to set a new record for comments. This one is 1,090. The password to that site is driving me crazy.

Ghosted by DJ D @ 11/13/2008 4:26 PM EST


DJ, I concur, a new thread would be great.

The fact that that sites source code is written entirely in spanish does make me question Matt’s involvement slightly, y’know. Course, he is tricky.

Ghosted by Guise @ 11/13/2008 4:30 PM EST


yeah I’m not good with digging into site any deeper then right click/properties.  That would be awsome though to have a site with passwords and slowly give hints to figure it out.

I kinda like the old thread, I wish he had left it as one to start with instead of breaking it into 4parts.  If it was all one thread we would be getting close to 5,000 comments.

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/13/2008 4:49 PM EST


the sad part is even if arcano.com isn’t related I still really need to know what that site is and what the password is

I should never try coke cuz I get addicted way to easily

Ghosted by Rob @ 11/13/2008 4:52 PM EST


Guise–Yeah, I agree. We might be reaching a bit on the “arcano” thing. I wouldn’t rule it out just yet but there’s a lot of evidence to suggest we’re chasing a false lead with the website. It is still pretty early in the conspiracy and I think “arcano” could suggest anything (although I REALLY want to know what that password is). Good job on identifying that Chinese lion mask thing, btw. I don’t know how you managed that.

Ghosted by DJ D @ 11/13/2008 6:10 PM EST


Oh, and as far as the threads go, I agree that it would have been really cool to have all of last year’s on one giant thread instead of 4, but I think each year should get it’s own thread, just to keep it all straight.

Ghosted by DJ D @ 11/13/2008 6:12 PM EST


Deej, well…it’s actually a sea monster. First time I saw the face in Box 23, I thought it looked like a chinese dragon, and googled, then just thought of sea monsters…and, well…booyah.

Only problem with a year thread is how long it takes to load sometimes. Not a problem with a forum or bb, but on a single page comment thread – killer!

Oh, and Deej…get your radio show podcasted, man. Srsly.

Ghosted by Guise @ 11/13/2008 6:21 PM EST


Holy crap!  When did this thread start working again!?!?  I thought it died in April when we suddenly couldn’t post anymore!

Ghosted by Captain Will @ 11/13/2008 8:47 PM EST


what? who? when? whats going on! what are all these clues your talking about?

Ghosted by Andrew2H @ 11/13/2008 9:05 PM EST


Yay, this is back! However I hope Matt starts a new Box 23 thread for this year, this one takes a bit long to load.

In addition, created a livejournal entry where I put together all of the entries for 2007 in one clickable location, in addition to links to all of the previous year’s advent calendars. <A HREF=http://tresjolie9.livejournal.com/58964.html#cutid1>Guide to the Advent Calendar</A>.
