The Radio Man

The Radio man from beneath us came today with good news.

He told us that his time was coming closer! We danced with joy.

Me and Sally went to The Green Fields and ran through the tall grass. Cutting and weaving.

I asked The Radio Man, "What is to be done?"

His green visage turned towards me and said one thing:

"Abide by me"

I answered him "Forever Sir"

He turned away and left to go back down to study.

Now The Misses did not agree with me as usual. They asked me to shut up because it was the day after Radio Day today, and they needed some time to think about the day prior. I asked more questions, but they pierced me with their sharp tongues.

I did not mind one bit! The list was being formed, and they were too blind to see! I grabbed my Frog to go visit Sally.

Sally and I went for a milkshake that afternoon. It was delightful.

The Silver Ball was sitting on the porch beside The Radio.

The Radio Played.

The Radio Played.

I think the "frog" he mentions is the X360 congtoller. "I grabbed my frog to go visit sally." "go visit Sally" most likely means playing a fellow online player. Sally being the other online player. The radio probably referes to the XBOX 360 itself. "abide by me" hmmm, probably referes to how mesmerising and addictive the XBOX 360 is.

The list is being made, then perhaps they have already decide, and the countdown marks the end. Or moreover the list of recruits is being made and the counter marks the beggining. Green is a recurring theme here, and so is the outdoors. I do not believe this is bungie.

This pops out to me as him subtly putting his trickery into poetry and those that know better attack his validity, thus being the ones with the sharp tongues. Also, it seems like the other parts are trying to be too vague. Like an amateur thinking up a riddle... This is not connected...

I sent my post to radio, and I got the response that no more information would be released until what has already been released is understood. He said simplicity is the answer and the answer is clear. I wonder if it's as clear as celophane? I bet there's another Mt. Dew contest where you take a game piece and wave it under the green celophane at the store to see if you're a winner. Note one more thing in the blog "He turned away and left to go back down and study." Like, in a library?

Sad, I had actually thought that this never-ending insignificance had finally come to an end. But then just as swiftly as I had that feeling come over me, it went away with the knowledge that this is just another one of MS viral marketing schemes. Nevertheless I am willing to dwell further into this puzzle of sorts.

I think Charlie may be close. The 360 is now a full multimedia device or, our new "radio". "Studying" is playing. "Silver Ball" is on the controller "Frog" could be the headset (360 is all about Live). As far as hoaxes go, I am concerned about the typo in The Day Second noone instead of no one. Is something going to happen two days after the release??? Guess we'll have to watch http://www.hex168.com/ and see what new information happens tomorrow...

And furthermore: if this is truly connected (as I believe wholeheartedly it is), then let's take note that lutz posted a comment in spanish. You're saying that other profile "lutz" isn't connected. But the title of that blog is in portugese, and when translated means "seeking horizons". Sounds a little too closely related in my mind. Just a thought. And the text inside the blog... my best guess from freetranslation.com is that it's in German, and while it's a rough translation and not all the words translate, I'm getting:
That everything is try first of all only to that. See time, what from that wird....

It could have been that the date was randomly picked to throw people off, and that this was where lutz was experimenting with the blog to see if it was a move they were going to make in the campaign. Just ideas as everyone else has, take it as you will. For the actual german (if that's what it is) to translate:
Das alles ist erstmal nur zum probieren. Mal sehen, was daraus wird.....

One more thought. It's been mentioned that googling circles, circles, penta, penta brings up tabs to Final Fantasy XI. Does this make sense to anyone else as it does me?

We know that Japanese gamers get to help beta test Final Fantasy XI if they buy a certain launch package of the X360. Now think about the symbolism of the poem. Running through grass fields, a girl named Sally, silver ball... it all seems to summon final fantasy style images to me, it did from the beginning. So could the "list" be a list to betatest Final Fantasy XI? Now think about grabbing the controller (frog) to go visit Sally (visit her online)... visiting her in Final Fantasy perhaps? What better way to "visit" someone than in a MMORPG?

I think I have it, we were reading to far into it, as the email said

"A picture is worth a thousand words, except when there are a thousand pictures to be had"

Which made me review the pics, and why there are so many in unrelated places, the blog has "The green field" over and green is a recurring theme. I then noticed that the Hex168 in Tulsa was the only one in a green field.
