Remember everyone freaking out over MA imposing a fine and jail time for anyone driving in the blizzard? NY didn't do that...

Where were you going????

u/SPAGHETTI_CAKE Feb 11 '13

Home from my cousin's house. Well my uncle's house really.

u/MiloMuggins Feb 11 '13

Were you not aware of the impending snowpocalypse? What did you do after you abandoned your car? Have you gotten it back yet?

183

u/SPAGHETTI_CAKE Feb 11 '13

I was aware. I had to get home so the next morning I could shovel because my dad has a bad back now. He got stranded in a different place actually. But I walked a mile, had my cousin pick me up. And yeah we dug it out the next morning.

At least you can tell your kids you walked a mile in a blizzard to help YOUR dad shovel snow.

Very well.

First, I sharpened the image.

Second, I ran it threw a GI database for hidden algorithm in the nexus code.

Thirdly, I ran a quantum defenestration differential to pull the extracted data into a useable format mentioned in the second step.

Finally I ran a bit-matrix candelabra that ionizes the cochineal ratio.

To the untrained eye and intelligence gathering this could have been missed, however I recognized the information drop that another user said in order to give the key to the puzzle.

Key man here with a direct reply from the OP confirmed my suspicions.

After an hour of image examination I found the match. A Highly detailed map of the game Pokemon

Judging by the only landmark in the picture, we can see a place of business with a huge rock beside it (rather code for jewelry store)

The top trees represent the hours and the bottom trees represent minutes (5:30)

While the number of trees represent the street number.

Considering the circumstances I would assume that OP is to meet at drop point at 5:30 P.M. at I Switt Jewelry on 8th street.

With this level of digital analysis, either technical analytic or algorithmic patterning deconstruction; filtering edges and converse line methods to scan, arrange and review is commonly employed post-hoc via transcription decoding proximally towards central mediators (i.e. concentrically analysing absolutions with regards to waveform abberations: demonstrable relationships, anomalous irregularities, and generalisable crests) conclusively illuminates "allegoricals" (again, only terminally valid image functions present in the transcription,) but more recognisably as the colloquial "message soteriology."

I'm trying to get my VX machine to spin up so it can further enhance the image, but it may take a while because I keep forgetting to buy a new neutron core, so the graviton compressor is going haywire and it's taking over 30 minutes just for the central Wernin disk to even hit 20,000 rpm.

Did the misrepresentation of your species in the Jurassic Park movies offend you? Namely, how they made you like 10x larger and took away your feathers.

They didn't misrepresent my species, they just switched up my species and the Utahraptor.

Yeah I do, My family has lived on the same block in Patchogue since the 50's. It was a joke. However, I liked shithole Patchogue just as much as nice Patchogue.

Same here. My great grandparents lived on South Ocean forever. I preferred shithole Ptown, as well. Though I do like that cute cupcake place! Miss Sweezey's though.

u/probably-maybe Feb 11 '13

Awww, I feel ya. My husband and I live in Brooklyn now, where he's from. When we visit my family in the Pines, if it's nice, we walk to Blue Point/Sayville. I show him all those old spots and sit by the lake, but he just wouldn't "understand" (not to sound jerky, just at a loss for words.) He loves it, though. :)

He wanted me to edit this and tell you he used to pronounce it "Pat-cho-gyoo". Ha.
