I prefer the Greg Initiative.

[the original buttongod]

I prefer the Greg Initiative.

Gawd, that's scary, I was thinking on the same lines as Dyck ! :frustrated:

[tater]

That was an interesting show about a free spirit and a puppet.

[Diggin' Bear]

I prefer the Greg Initiative.

So FINALLY, he admits his thing with NYC Matt is indicative of his true orientation.

I think he means Greg Evigan?

You know? BJ and the Bear.

[s'news]

Dharma, seek and you shall find :rockon:

You really should have thought this through a bit longer before posting it...

Relax, camera boy. Have another Twinkie.

Oh I LOVE this show. I just got the following e-mail from the "Dharma Initiative"


ATTENTION ALL RECRUITS
RE: SECURITY BREACH AT COMIC-CON 2008



As many of you may be aware there have been a number of security breaches in recent days related to the nature of the Dharma Initiative's latest research.


Apart from the leak of a sensitive internal communication there was also the unauthorized release of confidential video documentation during a sponsored panel discussion with the makers of the TV show "LOST" at Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego. Consequently, the person responsible for this breach, a promising recruit by the name of Dan Bronson, has been expelled from the volunteer program and had his Dharma Initiative membership permanently revoked. Furthermore, the Dharma Initiative has withdrawn their sponsorship from "LOST".

The Dharma Initiative must stress that the video material leaked at Comic-Con 2008 was viewed entirely out of context. Furthermore, the way in which the material was presented utterly distorted its significance and credibility as scientific data.

The Dharma Initiative is extremely disappointed with this outcome and has ordered a security audit of all departments. As part of this audit the DharmaWantsYou recruiting website will undergo a security upgrade in the next few days.


Upon completion of this upgrade a date will be announced for the official commencement of Volunteer Assessments.


All recruits are reminded that the unauthorized release of confidential information pertaining to the details of your activities within the Dharma Initiative will result in instant dismissal from the volunteer program.

Namaste.

Which has led me to do a Google search - and I found this Lostpedia Wiki - a video with a clue for the upcoming season and an answer as to what happened to the original Dharma group of scientists:

[Consider This]

I think he means Greg Evigan?

You know? BJ and the Bear.

I think not.

But the joke must have been more clever than I thought since it seems to be so tough for some people to understand.

Sadly, my brand of intellectual humor is rarely fully appreciated or understood by the Neanderthals who populate this board.

Hush, you didn't remember what happened to the original group of DHARMA scientists? Ben killed them all in what they are referring to as "The Purge." Apparently, Chang taveled to the future, saw The Purge, traveled back to the past, and sent a video back to the future. How did he do that?

What intrigues me is what Chang says in the video... "Time is not only of the essence, it is the essence." This whole thing is about time travel. But why? And who? And how? Gawd, I can't wait for the next season!!!

Of course ... Ben did kill them didn't he. But this is the first we've heard from the group regarding their impending death. And he did mention in the video that he was 30 years in the past ... that if they were viewing the video ... everyone was dead. "No point in games anymore." And the man filming the video - that's Daniels voice!!! "It's useless ... they're never going to believe us."

What I'm curious about is why the crying baby in the background? Chang can't be on the Island in the making of the video if there's a baby there ... all pregnant women die on the Island. So where was Chang? If on the Island ... what happened between then and now that made it impossible to have a safe pregnancy? If not on the Island ... how did he escape long enough to put the video together? And why was Daniel in their time period?

Who's Daniel?

[HushHush]

Who's Daniel?

Daniel Faraday : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Faraday

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/52/Daniel_faraday.JPG/250px-Daniel_faraday.JPG

The Scientist from the ship ... the one who kept telling the helicopter pilot to stay exactly on course .. because he knew about the time shifting around the island.

[Another OMB]

Cool find, Hush. Thanks!

What's the deal with the skinny tie? Is this 1986??

[HushHush]

If you had read the Wiki .. you'd know what was up with the skinny tie!

Besides ... I like the skinny tie. I have this thing for nerds ... don't ask me why.

[Produce man]

As if we didn't already know.I wonder who pitches and who catches?

[HushHush]

There is so much sexual tension from Produce towards Dyck ... it makes me wonder.

Here's a challenge for both of you. Play nice for just ONE day. One day ... I bet you can't do it.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

I wonder who pitches and who catches?

Your sheet just came back from the cleaners. You can go to your Klan meeting now, racist.

[Spike]

Who's Daniel?

He's that monkey spanker.

[Produce man]

http://www.comedyoutbreak.com/pictures/chipmunk_balls_www.comedyoutbreak.com.jpgGreat, now you've got Mighty Dickless typing with one hand.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

Touche.

Leave your tushie out of this.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

Great, now you've got Mighty Dickless typing with one hand.


Maybe you could try typing with one brain.

[east coast producer]

Great, now you've got Mighty Dickless typing with one hand.

Ha, you have to give your archenemy credit, Dyck... that was a little funny.

[Mighty Dyckerson]

Ha, you have to give your archenemy credit, Dyck... that was a little funny.

It might be funny if it was the slightest bit original, but he is neither. Now DON'T ENCOURAGE THE DOUCHE!

[mothball]

I was so thinking this when I read the topic...

[Spike]

I love the show, but the marketing hype around it and the fans who buy into it whole hog make me want to hate it. After seeing that stupid video of the fat kid at the convention, I almost don't want to watch the show any more.

Another message from TDI - looks like the site is ready to roll:

ATTENTION ALL RECRUITS
RE: CONFIRMATION OF LAUNCH DATE FOR VOLUNTEER TESTING



I am pleased to announce that, following an extensive security audit of all departments within the Dharma Initiative, I am totally satisfied that DharmaWantsYou.com is now secure. As a result I am able to confirm a date for the commencement of our latest volunteer testing program.
Visit www.dharmawantsyou.com (http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/) to confirm the launch date.

I have heard from many of you in recent weeks via email asking what will be assessed in the program and what the nature of our latest research is. I have found your enthusiasm and relentless curiosity extremely endearing. However, in the interests of maintaining the integrity of the testing process, I cannot be forthcoming on these enquiries.

Despite this, I would like to affirm to you all that I am extremely optimistic about these upcoming evaluations and believe that they will yield recruits of the highest caliber.
Good luck to all applicants.

Together we can guide the world to a better tomorrow.
Namaste,

Keep in mind ... I didn't tell you this!

ATTENTION ALL RECRUITS
RE: OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF TESTING

Namaste.

Today is the most wonderful of days.

It marks the launch of the Dharma Initiative's Volunteer Recruitment Program.

Having completed the eligibility test you can now download your official Dharma Initiative ID card. Simply go to My Profile and download your card. Carry it with pride.

Today you will also be able to commence our extensive testing program that will assess your suitability for a range of research roles within the Dharma Initiative.

Many years ago I was asked to help rebuild this noble community of scientific inquiry. With its genuinely altruistic vision, I understood that a vibrant volunteer cohort would be a fundamental part of this effort.

Together, with my dedicated recruiting team, I have searched the globe for the best and brightest to join us, to form the foundations of the newly reconstituted Dharma Initiative.

Today we lay that foundation. So that together we can guide the world to a better tomorrow.
