» JFC Sites: Surfing the Web Options

[pakelihe]

I'm kind of surprised that there are already so many web sites for the show. Looks like the HBO web monkeys have been busy. In addition to the official HBO.com site, so far I've found the following:

Stinkweed

Yost Clan

John Monad

I'm hoping the John Monad site will keep getting updated as we get more episodes. I've found 24 key words so far, and at least one of them seems to be from Day 2.

Seems like the John Monad site could be a "Lost" type site (I recall one for Oceanic Airlines before I got fed up with the whole thing), where if you click at the right time or in the right place you get a message. So far I've just gotten "Mitch Yost should get back in the game" by clicking on Mitch's picture. Not exactly revelatory, but enough to make me click on a few other pictures looking for other messages.

Check out the Stinkweed site and read the surfers' bios. It will lead you to another site--www.yostclan.com

Which surfer has had the greatest impact on your life?
My Dad for sure, got me going at a young age and was always supportive of my travels and lifestyle. Gerry Lopez for sure. I'd also have to say that Mitch Yost. He had great style. Yostclan.com has some great shots of him in his prime.

Can someone help me? on the Johnmonad.com site, I typed in the word "god". What does the rest of the billboard say? My 55 year old eyes can't read the smaller print. Thanks

Hey marleyfan - I'm having a hard time reading it as well, but I got "Fear God" and then below that "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the HOLY ONE is understanding." At the bottom I think it says "read the Bible Luke 11:5-14 Jonh 6:10 Roman 10:4-10".

[marleyfan]

Thank you, Dea .

Looks pretty random if those verses are correct:

Luke
11:5-14 Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness[e] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Jesus and Beelzebub

Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.

John 6:10

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

Romans 10:4-10

Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."[a] But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'[b]" (that is, to bring Christ down) "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'[c]" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Thanks drabauer! I was hoping someone would take on the task of looking those references up. I agree they are somewhat random, though the first kind of matches "What do you want Butchie?".

I found something on the Yost Clan website that may mean nothing..but under photos, if you click the photos in order (a number appears when you float over the pictures), the pictures move.

Probably nothing. But wierd. Like the show itself..sigh. I love it.

Oh - some help? I'm getting nuttin' on the Monad site - it just turns white? Any thoughts?

Ghettomommy: On the Yost site, if you arrange the pictures in order, the site reveals a 9th picture... that is in the Butchie photos. I can't get the Mitch photos to move.

On the Monad site, you need to type phrases (like "surf" or "god"). If you aren't getting the search box at the bottom of the page, then it is probably something with your Flash.

...And the billboard changes back and forth between "Fear God" and "See God". I'm enjoying the web sites and Youtube videos.

After you correctly arrange the pictures, go back to the home page and move your cursor over the text of the greeting. It will highlight the words of phrase that was used regularly in the first episode. When all the words of the phrase are highlighted, a new page called The Pipeline becomes available.

Thanks the viewer - interesting site, very interactive.

[msflyingbomb]

Ghettomommy, you need Flash Player 9 for the johnmonad.com site to work properly. You can get that here.

Interesting that when you type in "Jesus", you get Linc. Of course, he's saying the words "Jesus Christ" so I'll try not to read too much into that. Just surprised me to get Linc's face after typing in "Jesus."

I don't know if it's just a glitch or what, but FEAR GOD turns into FEAl GOD. Freddy might say the R is a shape-shifter.
