I'd give Rolfer my Terry Bradshaw poster.

[Timmo]

A few more I've thought of.

TrueYouTrueMe - Peace of mind.

Amy - Peace of mind.

The_Yesbabe - Peace of mind. And a baby, if that brings it.

Matt - A second working brain cell. Horatio needs a friend! (I'm totally kidding, Mattie is scarily bright).

Chris - A new solo album. (Well, that's also kind of for me and the Liquor Locusts. We've been wearing out "Fish out of Water". OK, a WILDLY COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL solo album. How's that?)

Omar - a Yestour in South America.

Sheila - an end to bad funk, and getting back to your own funky bad self (good funk).

Earl - $$$$. You work hard for the money. So hard for it honey. You deserve more.

Tim (the Other Tim) - Unbridled joy with Rafe. And less worry about the site that is Our Reason to be Here.

Sherriff John Brown - A girlfriend. You think WAY too much for someone so young. Time to start FEELING. In oh-so-many ways.

Once again, may the joy of the holiday season find all ye Yesfans! I love you all!

[Sheerah]

I love you Tim!
:valintine

[JaneEyre]

pacman ~ beautiful sunsets and authentic Philly cheessteaks, at least 1 shared with me.
rolfer, I think it's so beautiful that you want to watch the sunset with pacman! How romantic! After you two do that, I'm going to give pacman Red Sox season's tickets. I figure, if David Wells can make the change, so can he. And I'll teach them both how to say, "bee-ah."

Then I'll fly down to Florida and eat a cheese steak with you.

[yesrolfer]

Thanks for turning it into that, "Not that there is anything wrong with that!"

Come join us, I'll make sure your steak has no cheese! :valintine

Better yet, fly down and you can go see your beloved Red Sox in spring training!

Oh, you know I will!
We can call that, Sheila and Rolfer's ideal day!

[Sheerah]

Diane, your post reminds me of a Grateful Dead song:

If I had the world to give, I’d give it to you
Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms?

If I had a song to sing, I’d sing it to you
As long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade
Wouldn’t you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made

I may not have the world to give to you
But maybe I have a tune or two
Only if you let me be your world
Could I ever give this world to you

But I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give, long as I live.

If I had a star to give, I’d give it to you
Long as you live, would you have the time
To watch it shine, watch it shine
Or ask for the moon and heaven too? I’d give it to you.

Well maybe I’ve got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare,
Only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you.
Could I ever give this world to you.

[flep]

I'd give Cindy a ticket to the Superbowl as I think the Steelers are going to be there.

[BlankReg]

Hope I don’t get in trouble for this one. Tongue firmly planted in cheek…<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
What I’d give YES for Christmas:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I would give Jon a ticket for an orbital space flight. With Janeee, of course. He's always talking about cosmic things, I think he'd love to see it first-hand. I'm just afraid he wouldn’t want to come back.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd give Steve a subscription to the Veggie of the Month Club. I’d then give him a make-over with a plastic surgeon. They could give him back his hair, fix his teeth, and remove that whatever-it-is from his cheek. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I’d give Chris a wet bar at his side of the stage so he didn't have to wait until the encore to refresh his drink. I'd then give him brain surgery to improve his fashion sense. While he was under the anesthesia, I would remove all spandex and sh!t kickers from his closet.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd give Rick a new cape, lined with gold. I'd also give him eye surgery so that if the Magnification material makes it back into the set, he won't need those clunky reading glasses anymore.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd give Alan something to replace those silly giant moving bass drums he used during the 35th Anniversary tour, like, I don't know, a giant blue canopy that glows and looks other-worldly when bathed in dry ice and lights. Oh, wait, that's been done before. Ok, maybe just a new pair of biker shorts. Or a kilt.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd give Tony all those royalties he keeps looking for.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I’d give Bill the YES-itch again, so he might consider doing a few Union-esque gigs for the 40th Anniversary. Or I’d make him poor, which would have the same end effect.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd give Peter a reissue of Time and a Word that pictures him on the album sleeve instead of Steve. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd give Patrick back his sideburns, which were the sixth member of YES long before Billy Sherwood ever showed up.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd send Trevor Horn back in time to the European Drama tour with a strong voice that sounded more like Jon so the crowd wouldn't be so hostile towards him. I'd also take "And You and I" out of the set.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd give Geoff a few more years of <st1:place w:st="on">Asia</st1:place> success before the world forgets about them again. But not at the expense of Steve being away from YES, of course.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'd send Trevor Rabin back in time to the Talk tour, where I have arranged for some real promotion so that the album went to #1 and all the shows were sold out.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd send Billy back to the Open Your Eyes and The Ladder tours, and then would locate his guitar channel on the mixing console and turn off the mute button.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I'd give Igor a clean police record.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I’d give Roger Dean financing for Floating Islands.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Did I forget anyone???<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

[TNyesfan]

I remember this thread... :D
I'd give all our Yes kids the same joy we, their parents, have by listening to Yes music.

I'd give John (sonofjack) a week at Chris and Scotty's place.

[B-TRUE]

I remember this thread... :D
I'd give all our Yes kids the same joy we, their parents, have by listening to Yes music.

This is a perfect gift for our children! JOY, children need JOY!

If I had the power, I would give you all love and happiness for the rest of your days.

This is also a perfect gift of EvEryOnE!

[Imperatrix]

I'd help heal everyone from physical ailments and unhappy spirits. THEN...

....I'd give unattached Yesfans women an unattached Yesfans partner with whom to happily share the rest of their days, and....

....I'd give unattached Yesfans gentlemen an unattached Yesfans partner with whom to happily share the rest of their days.

Then I'd pay for a mass Yesfans wedding and alert the media so they could call us all a cult like the Moonies, and then we'd all be on the news.

There would be much rejoicing (yaaaaaaay).

And the entire tab would be on me.

I would give Tony a thicker skin this year.

I don't see Michael any more. I hope he's found that.

with his daugher.

Hopefully he has accomplished that.

I would give Diane all the answers this year!

I would give TRUE the ability to see two sides of an issue.

I miss him. Where is TRUE?

I would give Tim enough resources to move us to a bigger server.

And a whole lot more, actually!

I would give Dave his Dad's health.

I would give Dave a winning lottery ticket!

I would give Shifty his old home back.

Where is that guy? The gift would still be the same!

I would give JimmyGTR the ability to get through these Holiday's unscathed.

Gosh, I barely remember Jimmy. I hope he's enjoying the Holidays.

I would give every other person on this board unbounded love, health and happiness.
