The numbers absolutely are a clue to his identity. There's also a ton of other clues throughout this thread. I wonder if anybody can put them all together?


well if you're wanting people's theories, here's mine........

1+1+1/28= 3/28= March 28, +4 (days) = April 1st!
(2*3-1)/1= 5/1 = May 1st, -30 (days) = April 1st!


very nice. However, I am really going to be sad if someone were really NOT living the dream. I have faith.

its gonna be such a huge freakin let down if this is a joke. But I'm with Lax PV-I have faith.
Here's some food for thought that you can take home and chew -maybe livinthedream2008 has an alias, meaning another profile that he posts under?

Ok, since we're posting the clues, here's one: 92 is the total number of days until April 1. 31+29+30+1=92. Whatelse does anyone see?

As for the comment about who this really is, that's indeed who we should be focused on. Probably for some so they know who to string up by the "berries"(as one post called them).

One of these is true or maybe not.

Found it. His name is Mr. John C

If you look at the numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42, and match them with the letter coresponding to them in his origional post with the numbers

"no, I'm not Russell Johnson.

and yes, I was an All American prior to 1996, but I doubt you'd see my name in any of this weekends results. Unless I missed something, I haven't seen the results posted anywhere."

you get m r j o h n c

His name is Mr. John C and I rest my case.
PR- 15-1
Great season, time to top it

One of the other clues (that I now notice is gone) was something to the effect that "if we don't learn from history we're destined to repeat it again". Well for those on this Board that have been around for awhile (and PVDad2 seems to get it), there was an AF joke a few years ago about Bubka making a comeback. I say figure out who was behind that one and you got the identity of this guy/gal.

And I also find it interesting that Becca, the only person who can ping IP addresses has stayed curiously out of this topic...

Becca... any input? I know you wouldn't tell a lie! :yes:

Problem is.... we already called him on lieing. He got upset. If he really is lieing and said he isnt, thats cheating. Not fair.

I hope its a joke because if he is getting a divorce for following his dream that is a really sad story, i hope for this guys sake it is!

I cant really understand the original logic now though.... "i want to remain anonymous so that no one will pay attention to me" ?? Now people care more about how you are than tim mack and toby s!
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
