Box #23 Discussion Thread I, 2008.

I believe that the middle picture is some kind of giant monster. My reasoning, the green things on either side look like the tops of palm trees, if you look closely you can make out the shapes of each (needle? prong?).

Hmmm… it seems that I’m a little too late to get in on today’s interestingness, but now that I have a reason to post here again, I’ll be back in full force tomorrow to help puzzle out the next… erm… puzzle.

You know it’s officially the holiday season when the disquieting, nightmare-inducing madness begins.

And unfortunately I’m not good at morse code, or decoding pictures.

Sorry for the double (triple) post. My computer is acting up.

Thanks to JaM I think I know what the thing in the middle is.

Their suggestion of a fly crawling over something, try instead a termite, those two ‘eyes’ are the backs of termites. The grey thing is the nest.

The thing that conquered…was termites?! Oh man…you are kidding me.

Sorry to have missed last night. So to catch up, we’ve all copied the posted pic above and stretched and skewed it until sections are legible, right?

let me have a crack – see what I find.

The middle strip has me thinking Mothra or some Japanese monster. I’ll dig an see if I can find the image.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year.

Didn’t find the pic, but I did find this super cool quiz to see which Japanese Monster you are:

… and really, that’s almost as good.

Okay, so forgive me if I’m stating the obvious here, but from the clues I’ve seen it looks like the crew has had to evacuate the mansion, possibly due to some sort of infestation?

Guise-my photoshop verifies you are correct! you need to do a little flipping and stretching but yes, that is the source pic.

DJ_D-I assumed Matt does not have a stock photography subscription so I did a google search for “circus” and it’s the 7th image. Heh, remember, I get PAID to sit here and photoshop all day :-)

Chestnuts roasted by Ann @ 11/16/2008 11:41 AM


Maybe there was a pube infestation.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 11/16/2008 11:46 AM


Thanks Ann.

The middle one has me wondering, I’ve image searched for some time trying all different ideas and scenarios – going from sea monsters and giant monsters to what I’m pretty sure now is three termites (one facing upwards, two away – we see their carapaces looking like eyes) on a grey nest with trees in background.

Wow This is a crazy blog… 3 scrunched photos and a morse code wav. file. hahahahaha

It would be funny to loop that shit and make a crazy beat with it. =)

X-Entertainment is the shit!!!

Although I tried to have the last farewell on the old Box 23 thread, our friend “meepy” takes the prize:

All that is old shall be new again.

Cryptic as ever…

Chestnuts roasted by Fungusmungus @ 11/16/2008 3:26 PM


Ann–I should have figured it was something as simple. Until recently I had a similar type of job. I spent most of my free time using photoshop to work on personal projects…when I wasn’t here of course.

Guise–I thought about that. I agree that the two lumps on the sides are some kind of leaves or possibly the tops of grassy hills, if they’re not actually 2 other creatures. I did some searches myself but haven’t come up with anything yet.

Chestnuts roasted by DJ D @ 11/16/2008 3:31 PM


Deej, how about…they’ve all been breathing in way too much fumigation smoke (fire pic) whilst termites (middle pic) are being taken care of in a tented house (circus pic). XD

I’ve been reading the comments and speculations on this years calendar and I think I know the solution. Here’s what I came up with:
Whatever happens this year, it’s going to be even more screwed up than previous years.

I don’t know if this has been discussed yet or not but, the name of the box 23 jpg is “arcano”.

Boy do I wish I had learned Morse code.

Glad to see so many familiar faces! (So to speak) And welcome to the new ones!

Hey Guise, is your site still up?

Chestnuts roasted by Ben @ 11/16/2008 6:52 PM


Hey Ben, good to see you!

Yup, site is still up. Need to do a slight update to add in a bit more, but the current year is here: http://www.rogues.1me.net/XEAdventurers/Box23_2008.htm

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/16/2008 7:09 PM


seign–Yeah, we discussed that quite a bit on the old thread. Several people instantly started looking at a website called Arcano.com. We thought for a while that would be part of the conspiracy, after looking at the history of the site–when/where it was first put up (1997, I believe)–we concluded that the site itself is pretty much a dead end and most likely has nothing to do with anything. So far we don’t know the meaning behind “arcano” other than it signifies something hidden or mysterious. Time will tell.
