Update 05

OK.. this dude has some good ones on 1.18.08
About the party on the trailer for the Rob guy, and he will go to Japan, so relations with the Slusho thing etc...
Also
Slusho web site
"Now reading on the history on the site mentions a Noriko Yoshida.
Googling Noriko Yoshida leads to this:

There is a picture on this decidedly plain-looking website. The title of this piece of art is: "The Beats of the Sea", in English, by Matisse. The picture shows what appear to be tentacles rising from the water. The picture was just put up the 10th of July."
"She is referred to as "Little Whale" on the Slusho site. Just a little trivia, Godzilla, or in Japanese, Gojira, originally got his name from an interesting story. "The name Gojira is a combination of the Japanese words for gorilla (gorira) and whale (kujira). The monster was so named because his original design was that of a gorilla-whale monster, which is recounted by people who worked on the film. After producer Tanaka saw the American monster film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), he got the idea to turn Godzilla into a dinosaur monster. Despite the physical change the name of the monster was kept. There has always been a legend that Godzilla was named after a hulking man nicknamed Gorilla-Whale who worked at Tôhô, but this is untrue. Not only is there no evidence of this man even existing, but the various stories about him kept changing through the years (he worked as a stagehand, he worked as a PR man, etc.). According to Kimi Honda, wife of Ishirô Honda, the Gorilla-Whale man was just an inside joke between her husband and various others on the Tôhô lot--specifically producer Tanaka"
Little Whale and Gojira? Interesting enough for giant monster movie connections.""

"Also, I am interested in the "It's alive" line. If you saw a giant, obviously living creature, I don't believe you would say "It's alive!". But if you saw a giant moving mass of something that isn't regularly thought of or seen as living, I believe you would say "It's alive?!" in shock. Seems to make more sense in that context. I'd almost say this thing is made of Slusho.
Noriko set off to find the best, most tastiest ingredient at Sea, and behold, she was lost. Perhaps she found a monster making ingredient?"
