    Re: the thirteen days of YIELD...

    does it make more sense to do this the Thirteen weeks of YIELD?

    That way everyone can drop in when they can and there isn't the time pressure to do it all in a day when everyone's busy.

    Maybe we can delay this to coincide with the last week ending in Feb. '08?
    And then summarize with YIELD night 08?

    Ideas.
    Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.

    Yeah yeah, it was a joke. I'd love to listen to the pre-YIELD version of BRAIN OF J and then an after version to get both messages deciphered.

    If I'm not mistaken, TSIS have a bootleg MP3 of that version...I know I've heard it.

    Hopefully, that site will come back up soon.

    Agreed.

    Instead of 1 days of presents, we get 8 crazy nights.

    This is, in all reality, probably the best way to handle it. I know I've been way too busy the last week to get into any serious discussions on any given day, so I think spreading it out over a week might be the best way to do it.

    Who here is also obssessed with LOST (notice the capitalization).

    It is a very, very, very YIELDy show. rich with metaphor and the paradox of human nature and man vs. nature.

    I've never thought to tie the show into the message of YIELD, but yes, I am a faithfull follower of the show. I think it's easily one of the 5 best shows ever on television. I love, too, how just when you start to doubt the show during the lackluster season 2, they give us a gift like Season 3 and totally redeem themselves. And that season finale this year?? Wow.

    that show is not yieldy at all.

    the only connection between the two is that you like both of them.

    You're probably right, and that's probably why I never thought of it in that way before, but I will say this.....I think that being on that island would be one time that escape would be a perfectly acceptable route to take. :)

    Faith vs. Free Will.

    Hmmm....sounds familiar.

    I think connections could be drawn upon.

    Fate vs Coincidence

    That one's my favorite.

    I watched that show once. Looked like a bunch of models on an island trying to kill each other.

    that's hilarious.

    actually, i find the plot to be really forced. the opposite of yield.

    However, the underlying themes and subtle hints are a nice reminder of said album/group of 1998.

    while a "box of fear" sounds very lost island-y, I'm still inclined to think that it is referring to setting personal boundaries and limitations on one's potential. :)

    Yes, that seems reasonable...I've always assumed it's religious connotations...and in more recent years, we've seen that become more and more apparent.

    no, its faith vs. free will. this dichotomy in the show is highlighted constantly and very YIELDy. Its also filmed in Hawaii, which as weve discussed (although before your time NOOB), is the most YIELDy state. So there.

    And, in addition to Austrailia (from which the plot revolves around), these are two of the places where Pearl Jam got to play songs off of YIELD with MJI.

    Actually I believe we decided that much like Lost, Hawaii's main similarity to YIELD is that some of us happen to like it.

    And don't be too hard on the n00bs - all are welcome in the Yield thread(s). Teamwork.
