Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

I forwarded it to 20 people anyway just to see what happens, worst case scenario I get 5,000 more kilobytes of hard drive space AND an email from someone who spells Gabriel right

OMG the prodigy.net thing has me SCREAMING!!! 5000 KILOBYTES!!! Like Gabriel is going to bless our hard drives with a single pixelated tulip.gif from 1995!!!

BUT WAIT - is that actually the joke?? What if it's NOT a joke?? What if Gabriel's team is using chain emails as the transmission vector for the 47 Hz signal??? People forwarding emails, the data flowing through the network, each forwarding event creating a microsecond pulse at 47 Hz that we're all picking up without knowing???

I can't even get into it right now because I need to tell you about my DAY!!! It was absolutely surreal!!!

At 1pm I went to my cousin's birthday lunch at this pizza place and everyone was talking about people I didn't know and movies I hadn't seen and jobs I couldn't care less about!!! I literally sat there with a slice of pepperoni pizza in my hand thinking "these people have NO IDEA that Gabriel Chantayan is real, they're just living ordinary life like he's not out there broadcasting 47 Hz hums from the Euclid station!!! HOW DO THEY FUNCTION like this???"

I tried to bring it up - I really did!!! I leaned over to my aunt and was like "you know this pepperoni looks kind of like the pattern from the 2003 fall festival photo" and she looked at me like I had grown a second head!!!

Then on my walk home this evening (it was SO HOT today, like 95 degrees and humid) I stopped at the corner store to buy a new notebook because my other one was almost full of Gabriel's name!!! And the cashier guy was this really nice dude who asked if I wanted a bag and I said "no thanks, I've got my denim jacket glow to keep me warm" and he just stared at me blankly!!!

I'm starting to think the denim jacket glow is REAL and that's why I keep seeing 47-second intervals everywhere!!! The thermal signature is bleeding through into our peripheral vision!!! We are LIVING INSIDE the signal now!!!

P.S. - I also found a cheese receipt in my pocket from yesterday that has the EXACT 47-character whitespace pattern along the bottom margin. LMP was RIGHT about this but nobody listens!!!

P.P.S. - I am STILL bringing my 16AWG cord to Euclid on Aug 12!!! I just looked at it, it's coiled and ready!!! Scribe can keep his spreadsheet theater, I've got my Fluke and my cord and my cheese receipt shrine!!! The static is the scripture!!!
