More on Glove and Boots (Mario and Fafa)

The Glove and Boots message board has been dormant since 2007, but it's still there...

And Mario has an old MySpace page and a MySpace blog.

Fafa also has a page there.

If you explore their friends, you will find other puppet characters, like that Sonny guy.

Mario, Fafa, and Gorilla apparently performed with their friend Audrey Easley and learned to play the flute:

One day, when Audrey was in Brooklyn, New York, she met her biggest fan – Fafa – a small groundhog. She also met his friends, Mario, Flink and Gorilla. They liked the flute and each other so much that the five of them decided that it was high time to make a video about how to play the flute, and the video should be called Flute Rock.

Check out some photos. I'd really like to find that video... And who the heck is Flink? The plot thickens... Or maybe that's just an extra layer of frosting. Yum...

Glove and Boots videos

If you haven't already watched the Glove and Boots videos (and if you did a detailed exploration of Episode 3 of We Lost Our Gold, then you probably already have), you really ought to, as they are terrific. The one on their home page (clearly labelled as not containing clues) is called "Pirates stole our monies!!!":



They've got a bunch of other videos from their early work on their YouTube channel. They may not help you find out where the gold is, but they are a great way to take a break between brainstorming sessions.

That picture of Mario in the trailer...

In Episode 3, Mario says "You remember that movie preview teaser thing they did? There's a picture of me with those guys in it. You can see it in that bunch of quick clips where it goes DUMM dumm dum dum DUM duhdum duhdum! Look frame by frame and you will see me!"

The trailer video he refers to is this one: And indeed, if you comb through the trailer video very carefully (it's hard to do on YouTube — try downloading the video first), you will find this picture of Mario and Mulligan:

Mario is looking kind of scruffy. I'll bet Fafa took the photo. The others were too busy taking the gold. Mulligan tweeted: "@diszaster Fafa be the nicest groundhogs ever. He lemme listen ta' Mario's twister sister tape while me crew was robbin' him. #welostourgold"

So the pirates did steal the money from Glove and Boots. Which we already knew...
