Okay, so I've been kind of collecting my parents' latest conspiracy theories as they've been coming up, because I figure they might be on to something else, after they predicted the water being poisoned a month before it happened.

Here's what I've got so far:

• some of the people on the Locke conspiracy forum started noticing that the TV was skipping seconds or even minutes of footage of whatever they were watching, regardless of channel. They think the cable company's trying to brainwash them.


• The pigeons are either being mind controlled by an elusive organization or have gained sentience. Either way, they're planning a hostile takeover of city hall. (I really doubt it, I think my parents might've finally gone crazy on this one.)


• A Thunder Corp rival secretly sanctioned the bombing of the Dead District to clear it out and lower its value even more so that they could buy it, fence it off, and rebuild it as a segregated elite city that would then turn the rest of Locke into a no man's land.


• Thunder Corp bombed its own land to try and scare the mole people who live in the abandoned houses and the sewers there into submitting to them. There aren't any big ideas yet on what they would want with the mole people, though.


• The heightened police presence lately is so that they can try and find someone suspicious looking to be the scapegoat for the bombings, sentence them for life, and instead of taking them to jail, hauling them away for human experimentation instead.


• Russians.

Also, this isn't a conspiracy theory but I was wondering...for anyone else at the Halloween party, did any of you guys recognize the monster thing that showed up? I remembered meeting something a lot like it before a few days later. Maybe it's actually be related to us (or some of us?) in some way other than just "wanting to kill us"?

...Russians?

[gogoghostpowers]

Do you have any idea what that could be about?

[originaloddcouple]

I... sort of was only really paying attention to the tail end of that stuff when I was a kid.

My dad might've be able to help. He talked about that stuff a lot.

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, figures. My dad keeps mentioning it, but he's not explaining any of it, so I don't know what it's supposed to mean. I don't know if my grandpa would even say the same thing either.

[originaloddcouple]

I guess it's a bit... far-fetched in all forms.

But the penultimate one makes sense! I think we should keep an eye on the pigeons too.

[gogoghostpowers]

Seriously? The pigeons?

[originaloddcouple]

Birds can be deadly!

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, but pigeons?

[originaloddcouple]

Pigeons are birds!

[gogoghostpowers]

They're not the deadly kind of bird!

[originaloddcouple]

They could be!

[gogoghostpowers]

When have you ever seen a deadly pigeon?

[originaloddcouple]

...Movies? And stuff?

you asked for it, man

[gogoghostpowers]

What movies are those? This isn't like Birdemic.

I stand by my decision

[originaloddcouple]

I was thinking more Hitchcockian. What's Birdemic?

[gogoghostpowers]

[He has no idea what Hitchcockian is.]

It's a really really bad movie. I mean, I've only seen the trailer, but that's kind of all I needed to see.

[originaloddcouple]

[GOD DAMN IT DANNY PULL YOUR LIFE TOGETHER.]

That sounds a little judgmental. Trailers can be deceiving after all.

[gogoghostpowers]

That must be a lot of deceiving then, because the trailer is REALLY bad.

[originaloddcouple]

You should try being more positive! Don't be a negative nancy.

[gogoghostpowers]

So you're saying I should actually watch Birdemic?

[originaloddcouple]

...I guess? I'm not forcing you or anything.

[gogoghostpowers]

Well...I guess I could.

But you should watch it too, then.

[originaloddcouple]

...Okay? Sounds fun!
