Rev:  One of my Recurring nightmares is that i’m still in High School and I’m trying to get to school on time but some hilarious stream of events keeps preventing me from doing so.  I always wake up in a sweat and remember that I’m not in High School anymore…

REV: What an coincidence. Today’s “Blondie” comic strip is about the very type of dream you mentioned.
When I hear arcano I also think arcane, which usually has something to do with magic.  Now whether it is good magic or evil magic is anyone guess.
I think of Barnum’s and Bailey’s Circus when I saw the word “barnum.” So a magic circus? Maybe the Winninghams and James Lipton are doing a new “Circus of the Stars?.”

I agree with Trash. I think it’s pretty early in the precedings. I think we’ll get at least one or two other clues pretty soon that will make the first two a little more clear…and yes, I just wanted to say I agree with Trash.

Dell’Arcano del Mare – 7th map – sea monster.

Why do I get the feeling that this year’s Advent theme will have something to do with pirates, sea monsters, and giant crabs?

Ummm, I may be off on a wild tanget, but arcano might be Spanish for Arcana Tarot: The Major Arcana is the term used to describe the first 22 cards of the tarot deck.  These 22 cards represent the 22 major challenges one will face throughout their life. And on a further stretch The Barnum Effect: The Barnum or Forer Effect essentially provides the listener with what they want to hear. It may help explain why people are so impressed by ambiguous psychic readings.

velouria_78–You might be on to something. 22 cards–22 days before Box 23.

Meepy certainly seems to be onto something regarding Dell’Arcano del Mare – 7th map – sea monste.

First the Wikipedia Page,

I’m just starting to wonder who this new Meepy character is, he has some very interesting insight into the new Advent calendar, and, maybe it is just me, but sounds an tiny bit like HU.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 11/14/2008 1:05 PM EST


Tresjolie9–Yeah, I was just mentioning that over at the Advent-urers thread. The whole thing sounds a little suspicious to me. 

Ghosted by DJ D @ 11/14/2008 1:13 PM EST


Starting to wonder, should we stick to Box 23, or Advent Users for this? Might make things less confusing to have it all on one thread.

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 11/14/2008 1:21 PM EST


I graduated from high school in 1997, and I’m amazed at how often I still end up having high school dreams. Usually, I show up after a prolonged absence (I’m guessing 11 or so years) just in time for final exams, and I can’t remember what we were studying or where my locker is or anything, and I try to get out of it by saying I was out sick and I need some time to catch up. It’s so weird that I still dream about high school.

Ghosted by Lori @ 11/14/2008 1:51 PM EST


I found the Box 23 thread, but where’s the Advent-urers one?

The whole Dell’Arcano del Mare thing seems to be the ticket.  Also, I can’t believe Guise found that sea monster image.  Excellent detective skills!

Ghosted by velouria_78 @ 11/14/2008 1:53 PM EST


Lori, I have had that same dream. It’s a scary thing to show up 12 years late for your exams. Also, sometimes some Thing is loose in the school.

Buried traumas of the mind from Bronx public schools.

Ghosted by mandy _Reeves @ 11/14/2008 2:01 PM EST


velouria_78–Yeah, like Tresjolie9 said. The Box 23 and Advent-urers are the same thread. We’ve just been switching the name back and forth.

And I agree, I think we should just keep all our Box23/Advent conspiracy discussions over there. Otherwise, we’re just getting redundant. We’re also repeating ourselves unnecessarily.

He-he. I made a nerdy joke.

I think, like last year, you guys should keep Box 23 separate from the normal blog comment threads.  Just too much to have it with everything…

You guys are so sharp. I just guessed passwords like, “X-entretenimiento” or “Mateo es imponente” or “passsword” or my favorite, “1234″.

If you need me I will be back in the think tank.

So, here’s a thought what if the Sea Monster is a Winningham?
Mer-Winningham, the Winningham of the Sea
Herr Winningham, the German male
Nair Winningham, the Winningham who can totally get rid of Hare
Bear Winningham, the secret love-child of Cher and James Lipton
or…Bare Winningham, a rather obvious fanservice

Oh, and Kingklash…that’s where Pokemon come from. Pikachu is what happens when anthro gerbils make sweet, sweet love to anthro toasters.

I was too young to enjoy the Haunted Mansion in Long Branch (it was only about 15 min away from where I grew up). Shame it burned down in ‘87. But wow, that 201 area code brought back memories. Nice find, Matt. 
 
 
I wonder if HU needs anymore artwork this year… ;-)
 

Ghosted by Ann @ 11/14/2008 8:32 PM EST


Lori and Rev:  The high school dream, as I surprisingly found out a few years ago, is common.  My dreams alternate between high school and college.  For both, I’m sitting in class yet I haven’t been there for weeks and I have no inkling of what’s going on.  Of course, there’s a exam and I am no doubt failing.  Another variation is that it’s the first day of school and I don’t have a schedule so I’m just walking aimlessly through the hallways in a fog.  For some reason these dreams are extremely stressful and I’m relieved to wake up from them.

Ghosted by Clockwork @ 11/14/2008 8:42 PM EST


Ann, provider or art, and intrducer of Jonathan Coulton, how are you?

Another hilarious You Tube video!

Ghosted by Tresjolie9 @ 11/14/2008 9:40 PM EST


I, too, have dreams about school all the time. Most of the time they are like the one Clockwork described in which I am at school, but I have no idea what my class schedule is. What makes that dream more frustrating sometimes is that I dream about being in class the previous day, but when I get to school the next day, I am at a loss about what classes I am in even though I just attended them the day prior.
Another school-type dream is like Cameron T’s where I get up and am trying to get to school, but all sorts of odd things keep me from getting there.
What makes all these dreams even weirder is during them, I often have an inkling that I don’t belong in school to begin with. Occasionally, I’ll even have the realization in the dream that I’ve been out of high school since ‘99 and now have a job with the District Court.

Heehee, hi Tresjolie9! I made a JoCo fan? Sweet! Oh, check out more music by Paul and Storm (the guys who made that vid) they tour w/ Jonathan Coulton and are 2 very sweet, very funny guys :-) I’m going to have to try to top last year’s art, that stuff was all done on a whim. As long as HW and HU keep things interesting I guess…
