Athos

On review I just caught something quite important. K+A+L+I = 33 (assuming we use the simple alpha-numeric code) There are also the same number (33) stars on the Oregon state seal... Back to the hallway! Steve, who wonders why OR would have 33 stars. Is it the 33rd state?

Looks like Clue has died back a little bit... Anyhow, can we look through the books for that poem Darkie quoted? Also, has anyone notice we haven't seem to have found a bedroom? Does that strike anyone as curious, a mansion with no sleeping quarters? Finally, that poem's stanzas are numbered. What if we took the stanza that corresponded to the number that corresponded to the letter that corresponded to the chair symbol? Or is that too much correspondance? 1 They are all gone away, 9 There is nothing more to say 11 Around the sunken sill? 12 They are all gone away, Steve

This one is a little risque... http://www.maj.com/gallery/Athos/Lego/Vign...ofthenight1.jpg http://www.maj.com/gallery/Athos/Lego/Vign...ofthenight2.jpg http://www.maj.com/gallery/Athos/Lego/Vign...ofthenight3.jpg Steve

No Poe poems... I wonder if that is significant. Too bad I just gave away my book of Poe's poems, or we could look for one that applies to our situation here :( Steve

Very good. I like the very tall palm trees. The monkey inn looks good too. Steve

First, I had this idea to make a pool table. I wanted to do a pub scene, but the pool table was too big. So I changed it to Joe Vig. So I present Joe Vig getting hustled at pool: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...oeVig/pool2.jpg Second, Joe Vig takes a very wrong turn on his way home: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...eVig/gangs1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...eVig/gangs3.jpg The whole Joe Vig gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=122443 Steve

Here's a pretty surreal link for you all: http://www.alteringtime.com/features/misc/?p=baggins Steve

Alkali would work, if we doubled up on the A and the L? Since there were six chairs, maybe we should be doubling up on two of the letters. And how sure are we that those are the actual letters? Whoever translated them for us, could be the murderer and trying to throw us off track. Steve

I live in Reno... that's why its better :D Steve

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... except that STD you caught from the hooker... that goes home with you :D http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...tes/casino1.jpg The whole high-rollin' gallery (including other miscellaneous vignettes): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=121980 Steve, P.S. Screw Vegas, Reno is better :D

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Wi...dWest/blue2.jpg The first in a new project, I'm starting. There are so many people making Medieval villages, and modern cities. And since I'm living in a wild west town now, I thought I'd try my hand with a western town. I hope to have a whole little town set up eventually...

"Hey there Little Red Ridinghood, You sure are looking good, You're everything a Big Bad Wolf could want..."

Did we ever figure out what the letters were? I can't remember. And the "they" is interesting. Sounds like we might have more that one murderer on our hands :o Steve

Sort of. I only know it because we had to study it in 8th Grade social studies class. Its one of the few songs I remember from it. Steve, who is still waiting to be held close to that "giant breast" :oD

What do you all think about erasing the chalkboard? Maybe we could transcribe what's written on it, so we don't lose it. Maybe some of the words will not be erasable and provide us with more clues? Is there anyway we can we take the board off the wall? Steve

"When you're way up high, And you look below, At the world you left, And the things you know, Little more than a glance, Is enough to show, You just how small you are..." Here's the first in my latest series of vignettes based on classic fairy tales: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...ndbeanstalk.jpg The whole Fairy Tale (so far, just Jack) gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=140572 "There are Giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful Giants in the sky!" Steve

I'm in. Steve

"Sam crossed the majestic mountains, To the valleys far below, He talked to his team of huskies, As he mushed 'em through the snow, With the northern lights a-running wild, In the land of the midnight sun, Yes,Sam McCord was a mighty man, In the year of 19 1..." http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...es/dogsled1.jpg "Where the river is winding Big nuggets they're finding North to Alaska We're going north, the rush is on..."

Can we look behind the chalkboard? they es secundum mihi Seems to be repeated... and seems to indicate something is "behind me?" I wonder what the initials RC stand for? Maybe it is Rex Crowley (as in King Crowley)? Or perhaps, it is Ralph Cramden... "to the moon Crowley... to the moon!" Or, maybe Crowley likes Royal Crown cola? Steve

Yes he was a villan. Looks like we might have a traitor in our midst. Maybe we should be looking for a lighthouse... Steve

Well I didn't mean genre wise, Sai King was out of place. I meant that the others were more "classical" for lack of a better term, where as King is more modern. I think you might be right, though... I. however, still stick to my assertation that Tommyknockers was not King's best work. What is the deal with the Lighthouse books? I've never heard of them before. Steve, who will be watching you all closely to make sure you don't start to turn into aliens, ala Tommyknockers... P.S. Anyone have any metal plates in their heads?

Stephen King looks especially out of place in that collection, doesn't it? Tommyknockers is an odd choice too, as it is not one of Mr. King's better works... Lets flip to where the bookmarks are placed and see if that leads to anything? Lets someone check and see if those books' authors have anything in common. Steve

Me too... as I have no idea beyond just setting the story up. Lets hope it doesn't turn into the mess that the last one did. Replies are nice, but I'm just happy you are reading and enjoying them. Steve
