I have it decifered. It says, “Congratulations, you just wasted hours of your life deciphering a meaningless message”.

this is great! I was fearing last year’s wonder was not to return this year. I’m up for a new crazy, crazy ride

If this was a Batman comic in the 50′s everyone would have figured that out in about 30 seconds.

Well, before I crash and seeing as how it’s not linked here yet, the updated pages from Box 23 (2008) and some bits on the Scary Window thing from earlier in the year.
And lo, the obsession began anew… Ok, re: hi.jpg bottom pic: from a pic of clowns *shudder* source pic here: http://www.frontrowking.com/family/ararat_shrine_circus_tickets.html center pic: agreed on the macro of a flys head/eye top pic: ditto on the fire/flames. So: fire, fly and clowns. Interesting.
I can see some human faces and what looks like either a stuffed animal or perhaps a giant fly.
I had to read this like three times before I stopped thinking it said “human feces”. For a second I was impressed that you could identify poop by species so easily.
I plan to pay more attention to the Adventuring this year, but I suck at this stuff, I’m afraid
Let’s see, we’ve got the nautical/sea monster theme going…a haunted house is involved (could be tied to some of the folks ending up in Hell last year), and now we’ve definitely got circus themed stuff going on too (first alluded to by “barnum”, and now verfied by this clown business). Throw in apparently something to do with fire, and possibly a giant fly (or rabbit, if you believe meepy), and this is shaping up to be really interesting.
Welcome to the discussion, jazzy. I wasn’t able to keep up with the discussion last year because of my computer and internet connection and just abandoned it pretty early on, but I’m all up in it this year. You’re getting in on the ground floor this year, so it shouldn’t be too hard. You just gotta keep a keen eye out and it helps to be somewhat paranoid and obsessive. Guise and some of the others have put together some really great guides and things if you want to catch up.
DJ_D let’s just say HU’s Big Apple Circus vid brought up some repressed memories of my 1st grad teacher, Sr. Luke, dressing up as a clown for school events.
Hooray for all the Advent-urers new and old! We’re back, baby!
Maybe a zombie rabbit will show up in this years Advent Calander. You never know.

“It’s Alive! It’s Huge!” … I hope this as much fun as the MONTHS I spent with all the Cloverfield stuff. After blowing up that photo… I see part of a lions head. Could it be a clue? Or is Matt just paying homage back to the early Cloverfield stuff when the debate over the first line I posted was going strong (originally some thought it was “It’s a lion! It’s huge!”)
Whatever the image(s) are… there are clearly 3 of them. The top one looks to be some sort of fire, the middle is the one where I see a lion… the bottom. Looks like the top of someones head. But I’m not quite sure.
Either way… this is clearly what Christmas is about

Primarily, look towards the bottom middle of the picture and you should see where there is a brown gap between the flames that matches the brown gap in red-orange.
All the pictures so far appear not to be shrunk, but stretched from proportion.
Guise–You might be on to something with that one. Although how you managed to find it is beyond me.
I think that bottom one is pretty much the same as it is in the original source though. I don’t think it’s been stretched. If you compare it with the on that Ann posted up earlier, it looks like it was just taken right out.
Although how Ann found that one is also beyond me. Now my paranoia’s kicking in again. Starting to think mabye the two of you are in kahoots with some internal source. You understand this is exactly what HU wants. He wants us all pointing fingers at each other. I’m starting to feel like Kurt Russell in John Carpenter’s The Thing. Don’t make me line you guys up and start taking blood tests.
Deej, if you check out pixelation, you’ll see the hair is much fuzzier where it’s been stretched, if you shrink it by width you can actually match it up. Same for fire (which I google image searched “hell” by the way). The middle image becomes interesting that way too.
Im so excited about this years Avent calender its been a good tridition……I been readin X-E since 2002 and this year imma get involved in the mystery HAHAH cant wait…..
My Input: do yall think that picture in th middle looks like a dog next to the fly eye looking thing and i know that at the bottom thats a clown face!!!
