These are a few of my favorite things.

Oh....and my husband just said...


Mary Poppins is 11 letters...

Tea is 3....



Okay, I'm sure it's totally off. But I found it amusing.

I think it's possible that the PMs screwed up their counting for that last line... although if they proofed it beforehand, they could have just dropped the single syllable (a) at the beginning of the last line...

Regardless, the fact the Drew is capitalized is pretty obviously calling our attention to the books in the package and/or the Survival Guide from the Golden Gate Park drop.

perhaps they didn't...
it's not a haiku... but Deagol pointed out something on the other thread and I thought it'd go good here too...

Haiku backwards is Ukiah...
familiar city?

edited for spelling familiar wrong! hehe. :lol:

and the strange capitalization of "I Drew"
the 2 capitalized words are ID
... as in Identification

maybe "where it all started" refers to the birthplace on Daniel's fake ID
Hmmm...you may be on to something. Sounds like as good a guess as any.

On the other thread it was also mentioned that you can pronounce subtle with one or two syllables.

The place on Daniel's ID is a fictional city in Illinois. It was a John Hughes reference.

Yeah but it was brought up on the videos forum that haikU spelled backwards is Ukiah and that ties in the ID. So maybe there is something they missed at that drop area.

Well, they better make up a reason now, haha.

And as for subtle being one syllable... on what planet?

I don't know why people are making a big deal about "I" being capitalized in "I Drew." "I" is always capitalized...

It's the same people who think subtle is just one syllable, I guess.

I have the entire set of these particular editions sitting on my shelf... if we determine we need information from the actual books.

Anyone get a decent screen grab of the spines?
