That`s a good point, thanks for reminding me of that, and no, there aren`t in fact many theories on that, unfortunately. It`s true that McGucket could have easily built the vending machine but wouldnt he need any sort of help? Not necessarily Soos`. Also not solely on the vending machine because that seems relatively easy to construct compared to the portal, something that could have easily taken years to be built.

Well, all of this is just pure speculation of course, but as we already know, McGucket is extremely smart and was also able to build the Gobblewonker robot by himself when he wasn`t in his best state of mind...

2) I wouldn`t say that we don`t have any backup. We already know that "the handyman knows more than we think", but what is it that he knows? No one`s sure. And as mentioned before, if Stan trusts him enough, wouldn`t he tell him about TROOTHM ad the portal?

On a side note, there is also this mini comic going around (not a theory per se) about Stan having Soos` memories stored somewhere in the shack, possibly in his bedroom. What are your thoughts on this? That only brings us further proof that Soos can and will keep a secret if he has to, meaning, he is indeed hiding something. But from whom? Just the twins? Or could he be more aware of his surroundings than Stan himself? Also why pretend to be to an idiot just for their sake when he could`ve he just kept his mouth shut?

I`m glad you`re interested. I`m not 100% sure about this one but one of the theories about the circle around Bill is that each symbol represented (or character), at some point or later in the future, will make a pact or a deal with the demon. 1) I would say no, since, as you pointed out, he made the Gobblewonker by himself in his bad state of mind

2) It's tru that don't yet know what he knows, but we only know that he knows something. It's a guess that it has to do with the portal, but only a guess as there isn't a whole lot of evidence. On the other hand, what else is there to know? :P

2b) I've seen that as well, but it's purely imaginative. My first question was, "If you only erased Soo' mind (as it was kept in there as if it was the only one he used) why write the name? The Blindeye wrote names because they had a library of names" Either way, it's only a head-canon, and possible, but, at this point, unlikely.

3) If he seems like an idiot, he won't be a suspect. David once acted like a madman so as not to be caught or something  (I don't rememebr the story well) and in court cases you can plead insanity. Soos definatley isn't insane, but by acting stupid he might distract attnetion away from himself. Of course it's only an idea, and may be contributed to cartoon world discontinuity or lack of critical thinking in certain areas.

4) Is there any clues for this "theory", or is it just a passing thought? I don't like people coming up with ideas and taking the word "theory" on it. If there isn't much supporting evidence, or it's just a random idea you have, it should be a hypothesis.
