Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

Feels like a Jay thing to me, or someone trying to copy Jayo. Will safety vote there. Looks like the boss fired mandatories only. And I was hoping to be cleared. We have an experienced boss.
Definitely seems like a dude. I'll join the jayo vote

. The cryptic nature of the memo does sound rather Jayo like
I had to Google "Tater Tots and Glamour Shots" and the first hit was a recipe for Apple Crumble Tater tots that are "Glamour Shot" worthy.
The second was a reference to the movie Napoleon Dynamite.
The boss doesn't see to be familiar with the movie, and I doubt it did very well overseas, not suer it did tat great here - I thought it was pretty stupid myself. So this could further point to someone outside N. America.
I will join the Jayo vote.

I am a bit confused... last round everyone was saying it was a female... this round a male. Next round... ???
I will just put my own safety vote in for Gizzer. I am not familiar enough with Jayo to see how this points to him. Good luck to you who see this... or have the boss and rat already joined in on this vote; or have you employees just hit the nail on the head?
Edit - vote confirmed
BTW, tater tots to me are small rolls of potatoes/hash browns... nothing else in the prompt or answer jumped out at me.

Unless because everyone said it sounded like a girl last round, the boss tried to change their demeanor to sound like a boy Definitely a possibility
Also not knowing about napoleon dynamite could also indicate someone older.
Changing to gizzer

It is a good point that the boss was presumed to be female last round and now a few of us are thinking Jayo. The boss may have used a cipher to try to make it look like Jayo could have written it... still lots of tie to work this out so not gong to worry about it too much for now.
Has anyone bothered to try and decipher the memo?

I'm a bit drunk at the moment and so will repeat my vote for Jayo until further notice! It's like 4am here :O
I tried Caesar on the memo, no luck at all. Got busy with other things.
I will change my vote beings HP wants to vote for Gizzer too. I will vote for Habs
Edit... vote for Habs has been confirmed

Memo is atbash. "Its sad to see mandatories but its expected"
EDIT: I dont think a gender can be deciphered from the prompt. As for the movie, Ive never heard of it but then again its 2004 and it was rated PG so I guess I was way too young then.
Ill just put a vote for scrub again.

It is past midnight here, but because the round started, I had to post and read things.
I will join the Jayo majority for the time being and reevaluate once I have my bearings. I, however, am not drunk.

i am still going for scrubs
but i still think randy is a good possibility
tater tots and glamour shots
that is so weird
and randy i agree with the example of tater tots
glamour shots- there is a photography studio that does photos called that
my daughter had some taken there, they were really fantastic

So let's say the boss is still a female. Who would it be? Right now we got Jayo, and then me in majorities.
And Softball, what an amazing musical you chose. It is also my favorite.
I remember glamour shots from the movie but I don't remember tater tots.

I'm cool with being cleared, my first thought was people are gonna think it's me!
Get a decisive clear and we will see where that leaves us next round

Posted this in the WWG too so some of you will already know this, but wanted t explain my absence for most of the day:
It is currently 0700 ET and I will be around until about 1100 but then will be gone for 5-6 hours. Today is Rich's grandmother's 95th birthday and last week was his father's 75th so there is a big party. Close to 100 people with all the kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids and their "plus ones".
Normally, I would have a phone or tablet to play while i am out, but it seem a bit inappropriate to bring one today.
Should be back around 1700-1800 ET.

I'm slightly annoyed I missed the boat on the cipher as I like having a go at solving them. Didn't seem to contain any important information though anyway.
I'm fine with clearing Jayo since you guys seem to have an insight into why it maybe him. I don't have any better ideas. Like some already mentioned though, it is a bit suspicious that the boss has suddenly flipped to a male vibe after people commented the memo sounded female. Makes me think it could well be female still. Or a double bluff.
Edit: voted Jayo

I don't see any gender "vibe" in either answer.
I tend to rely more on voting analysis, and little details that seem "off". I don't have any voting analysis to work on yet, so I will keep my vote on HABS.

Someone has already stated this, but it is interesting to me that they chose to only say something about Napoleon came up instead of Napoleon Dynamite. Also, the fact that the memo was cipher tells us something about the boss: They know how to use the cipher feature of the website.

Good morning. Lots of posts while I slept, so I need to take some time to read everything. Looks like we may have a shot at clearing Jayo, so I'll join that majority and will be back later to post my thoughts. My dog is waiting for her morning walk.
Edit to add: Habs was posting list as I was typing. My vote confirmed.

I like the HABS vote. She even said she had to google the phrase herself.
And someone had to go to the store. I can't imagine the young guys doing much of this. I am switching.

First time I saw the movie, I thought "HOW DUMB"! and what a waste of time, but my kids made me watch it again, and I realized it was SO DUMB, it was funny. . . . . we just watched it a few nights ago. There are really funny parts in the movie . . . . . like Napoleon getting hit in the head with a steak, and him throwing an orange at his uncle's van and scaring him half to death when it hit the windshield. lol There are a few great lessons in this movie as well - friends don't let friends fail, being popular and cool doesn't always get you the votes, and . . . . . . . . ya can't live in the past.
For those that don't know what the tater tots and glamor shots have to do with the movie, Napoleon had an obsession with Tatar tots, and once he took his friends extra tots from lunch and shoved them into his pocket, and ate them later during class. . . . and the glamor shots, his female friend took glamor shots to make extra money for college, along with making friendship bracelets. lol It's a must see movie, but you have to remember, it was made to be dumb, with a few good messages in it. Very low budget movie, but overall, I think it did fairly well. And the actor that played Napoleon actually does not have that curly hair in RL. lol
Ok, now I'll shut up. lol Hope all are enjoying the game.

Okay, then. I also don't think it's possible to tell if our murderer is male or female, we have some pretty experienced players here. I think our best bet is to clear Jayo or Habs and see what the next memo says. The fact that the murderer didn't know what Snowy was referring to with the prompt doesn't mean a whole lot. I had no idea and Deb and KV say they didn't either but I'm sure we're not the only ones who didn't. I would think it was memorable to Snowy because she just saw the movie recently. Keeping my vote on Jayo since we do need to get a clear.

Generalizing here massively, but I agree I don't see the young guys going to what sounds like it was a grocery store, but really even Jayo and Randy are 'unlikely' to do a lot of grocery shopping as they are both married and I would assume that their wives do most of it. Rich hasn't been grocery shopping since we moved in together and since he does it wrong, I don't really want him to go anyway.
Here (in Ontario) you wouldn't get food and beer in the ame place. Liquor is purchased at a place called "The Liquor Store" and you buy beer at "The Beer Store". They sell nothing else.
I didn't know what it meant even after I Googled it, I got that it somehow related to Napoleon Dynamite, but did not know how.
Sticking with my Jayo vote as I don't see a point in switching at this time.

Im assuming the store reference is related to the meatloaf. To that account, I dont see an older person going to the packaged food section. My mom or any of my relatives dont like packaged or precooked food and when Im home we dont even enter the section in the store. Younger people especially those working or studying and staying alone, are more likely to venture there.
A new thing Ive noticed in USA is beer and wine being sold in supermarkets but Ive not seen that in India. Supermarkets are quite different between countries. I happened to see my first meatloaf couple of months ago.
Im sticking with my vote too.

My wife does not drive, so I "get" to go shopping with her... so I walk up and down every aisle pushing the cart.
Once a month, we "get" to take my wife's mother shopping too - she also does not drive. So KV, older people do go at least "by" the packaged or precooked food sections at times... we are not always in a rush as younger folks seem to be.
I also had to laugh last night... I do not normally discuss the games I play on Braingle, with this particular game no exception, and my wife does not come on this site... but we had meatloaf for dinner.
Yeah, keep the majority on Jayo... I had not planned on being in a majority vote this round. I will stay with Habs... it seems like a good choice at this time.

I would rather take the 3 and 5 year old kids I babysit shopping than my husband. And anyone who has shopped with kids knows how much "fun" that is! . At least with them, they just ask for stuff. With him, I have to rush and justify what I am buying.

When the hubby and I go shopping, we split up. I give him half the list and I take the other, and we both have our cells on to let each other know when we are ready go to. We used to love shopping together for groceries. It was fun figuring out our meals together. Now it's just another chore that has to get done. I am in the mood for meat loaf . . . . . . thanks Randy!!! Better yet, tell your wife thanks!

I think I will ask for meatloaf this week. I will probably get veggie crumbles instead.
maybe I will make meatloaf for dinner tomorrow night....
