The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

There I was just calmly eating my alphabet soup, thinking random thoughts about life, the universe, and everything, when I look down at my spoon and spy this bizzare message spelled out in letters of noodle. I wonder if the gods are trying to tell us something...

looking at that picture, maybe they shoulda spelled out "don't eat the soup".

I think you should get a lottery ticket! :p

And don't forget a Power Ball ticket also. :D

and again:

"I knew I'd made it, when Lavery started to pick on me..."

...didn't Kurt Cobain say the same thing about Weird Al? :D

Is photoshoping images the only thing you do nowadays in your office? :p

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

$10 says it's a fake image :)

I wonder if this will ever stop.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

:) It's time for some more coffee.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

David, I'll put my two to your one that it's a faked image.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

heh, more like it's time for the season to start....to spare us from this creative boredom :)

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

David, I think you should stop making bets. How much money have you lost, now? ;)

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

Funny, how there's no letters in the rest of the soup.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

Its out of focus.
:p

Either way I still say it's fake.
The white ring surrounding the spoon kind of shows it was pasted in.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

Yea, I was thinking the same :)

But non-the-less, nice work :D

One more thing that gave it away for me, is the fact the letters are lined up to nice. You know, when you eat alphabet soup, the letters are never perfectly straight :D

JVN is an intersteller hitchhiker
 

Wow! this is such a coincidence! I was eating alphabet soup the other day too and it also had a message in it. It said "ooooooooooooooo."

Then I realized I was eating cheerios.






had to have a family guy reference along with the Douglas Adams reference.
does this mean JVN = 42?

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

C'mon you people! Don't you GET it? This came from Lavery.... Its a GAME hint. Don't let him TRICK you. The whole JVN connection is a PLOY to throw us off and make us think he's simply picking on a prominent well-loved CELEBRITY. In ACTUALITY, he's hinting that the 2005 game is going to have us picking up SPOONS, or, or, arranging soft tasty NOODLES, or, maybe, manipulating hot LIQUIDS.....

I wonder if the pneumatic system handles broth.......

OMG.....perhaps the wittiest post EVER.

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

I just want to point out that:

PNEUMATICS + SOUP = HYDRAULICS

(hey - that's almost as good as "Y = AX^2 + BX + C" !!!)

Re: The JVN Madness Continues!!! - II
 

But you seems to have missed a vital game point:

Notice the Douglas Adams Quote, Love it. Always Love the Quote.
The loving of the quote wasn't important, but realize its from the same book that brought is the circular logic of a non-sequential system instead of an ordered binary system ("what happens, happens"..."it doesn't necessarily do it in that order though"), and the creator final message to his creations.

This means that:
a) Some of you will have to read the book (All of them) to figure out what I just said.
a2) Some of you won't and will be frustrated until you forget about this.
b) The programming language will allow for undefined references and every number will have to be base 42
b2) Some of you will also be frustrated by this until you read the book
or forget.
c) The plexi- windows in the booth will be painted black and can only be reached after one of your team has been attacked by mattresses and then dragged with you up a long path.
c2) Some of you will stop reading the *2) because you realize that it is
the same.
OR
Fish) That's not a letter, none of this will happen. Robots will not have improbability drives instead of batteries. You will need more coffee ;) (Another reference to the book. d) Read it or e) be frustrated ;) )

Lastly:
Towels will replace duck-tape and zip ties as the basic requirement of a build crew. Brandon will be forever in my light of positive rep for spell-check. The journalists among us will laugh at the below joke. Otherwise read the book. You won't find the answer in there, buts its more fun to read than a journalism etiquette book. Dave, you really do give away the whole game much too early. By the way, I wish I had photoshop, Dave that was an awesome job. Everyone says "I am JVN"...but does John say "I am DaveL?"
