Only one thing happened today, really. If you haven't seen it, you will
never be able to guess. We will tell you, but make sure you're sitting
down first.

James posted a video entry today...or did he?? The video opens
with....Lyova! Who is taunting a tied-up, gagged...James!!! OMG, what
is happening?!

Well, we don't know either. We knew there would be more secrets, but we
certainly didn't anticipate this. Talk about confessions...

EVERYONE FREAKS OUT

Boy did the comments explode at this sudden, shocking turn of events.

The first comment was this: HOLY CRAPPP!!!!!!!
WHATTTTTUUUTTTTT!??????

and that was pretty much how everybody felt for the rest of the day.

Then there was lots of speculation about why and how Lyova and James
came to be in the same place and what is really going on. The issue of
James and Lyova sharing an IP address came up again. (We, like many
others have always thought this was very suspicious, but didn't know
how to follow it up!) The questions about Lyova's true identity were
rampant. The captor Lyova himself made occasional appearances in this
most epic of comment threads, making demands and threats. He seems to
have the most evil of intentions for our own James, saying that "I do
not think that James will be disposed for other purposes than being
disposed of. So yes, this must be his final appearance here."

WILLOW TO THE RESCUE...NOT!

Willow wanted to perform a valiant rescue, but she was hindered by Dr.
D's "enormous satellite-mounted laser beams and some VERY special
collobus monkeys I've been breeding in my giant underground lab."
Sorry, James, but it sounds like there will be no Merit Badger deus ex
machina.

NOW WHAT?

In the words of host Mike, "So... what happens now?" I mean, he
INVENTED the game, and he doesn't even know what's going on. Neither do
we, Mike, but it sure is amazing to witness.

And there are even more questions and uncertainties, of course.

We received a strange tip at the Buggg HQ today: by looking at her RSS
reader change dates, a reader has discovered that all the Stalin photos
seem to have been posted all at once, on May 29th.

Does this mean that Stalin didn't exist before that date? Are we
dealing with revisionist history? Or did they just decide late in the
game to hide the photos? So many layers of secrecy.

And Lyova hasn't even posted his confession yet!!!

Our heads are spinning. We're hurrying off to bed so the morning will
come sooner and we can see what amazing things have happened overnight
in the world of Ultimate Blogger.

Your UHUBUGGG
