Me and Tiger Lilly
Me And Tiger Lilly
Busted out of Barcelona riding on a train
Feeling nearly faded as her dress
Tiger Lilly ate some paella just before the rain
Farted all the way to Fi-guer-es
Well I took my old cassette from my dirty sack
Playin' slow while Lilly sang the blues
Stinky farts keeping time
Holding Lilly's spirit in mine
We finallly sang near every song that we knew
The Board's just another place to think about The Scene
The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean
The internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour
The Board is good enough for me
Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly
With the kind, grateful folks; rapin' here is fun
Lilly shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done
Lilly's spirit kept me from the cold
Nowhere never on this Board, I'll let her slip her away
Looking for memories I hope we'll find
And I'll trade all my straight friends for a single head
To be sharing Lilly's spirit, oh so KIND
The Board's just another place to think about The Scene
The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean
The Internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour

To the board and ...

Very Good joe

stay safe and feel good!

Sniff, snort, and huge grin
Oh Joe-have not been so touched in a LONG time! Is one of my all-time fave songs (Janice version) and have been wallowing in her brilliant Pearl album lately, as a matter of fact. She can express bewildered pain, while wanting to be happy and fine, like nobody else out there, I think.
You rock Joe, as does this forum, as do all our friends here!!!!! Kind and clever and funny and compassionate-is special. Know this even more now. Had an electronic "missadventure" with a MSN messenger address that I pasted wrong, thought was my sister; which turned out to be some pervert in Perth. Was writing to my "sister" last Sunday, wondering why she was so monosyllabic, when out of nowhere were foul and disgusting images on my screen. I said "Sabrina, what the hell are you doing?" to which came back "I am not Sabrina, I am Steve in Perth, do you know where that is?" I freaked out and blocked him. Point of the anecdote, there are some scary freaks out there that we can stumble across, but here is safe.
Joe-as an expression of my appreciation, if you send me an e mail address in a p.m., I will send you an attachment that is a parody of a Zappa song that I wrote a couple of years ago. Is about Bush, and am rather proud of it, if I do say so myself. :-) But enough about that, before I start to sound too much like .......
Thanks Joe!

welcome back TL
so glad that eoJJoe was able to tempt you out of your sad place with his flatulent ode!
I'm off to Turkmnistan tomorrow early for 2 weeks work on an environmental project...no idea what to expect..its a very mysterious place spanning the northern borders of Afghanistan and Iran (!) , but they have just started allowing the internet there so will try to send a bulletin. Of course I will be taking plenty of GOGD on the iPod (Just got a tasty copy of 5/16/72 Luxembourg).
safe travels

Sustainable Dead Apparel?
Thanks, Izzie and Marye for all of your amazing work in this forum!
I'm really not sure where to post this question, so here goes: Izzie, or anybody, do you know of any plans in the Dead organization to change the way Grateful Dead apparel and other products are made? Everything I look at seems to be made in China. I wanted to buy a Grateful Dead shirt the other day, but could not justify it… does anyone else find it odd that official Grateful Dead products seem to be made with no concern for social impact? I can invest in socially responsible mutual funds, but I can’t buy a Fair-Trade, sustainably produced T-Shirt from my favorite band? I'd love to hear what others think...
Chris
sorry folks, maybe a little of both??
it seemed like my post wasn't going thru right, so natch i just kept hittin' ENTER!!!! hey, it was monday after all!!! claney, i haven't looked lately, but are the LIQUID BLUE brand shirts made in china too???? you have a good and valid point and i'm glad you brought it to my attention. liquid blue do some nice shirts, but i never checked to see where they are made. haven't bought one in many years, since i do my own dyeing.

Dal-ing!
200g moong dal or red lentils1/4 teaspoon tumeric
salt
900ml water
1 tsp cumin seeds
2-inch chunk of ginger, grated
1-2 green chillies, chopped (seeded if you prefer)
1-2 BIG handfuls chopped coriander/cilantro
3 tablespoons ghee/oil
******************
*Boil lentils with tumeric and salt. I find that for an authentic Indian flavour, some salt is essential, although I rarely use the huge amounts I find in recipe books. 1 tsp is about right for this. No salt is OK and quite edible but kind of bland.
*Briskly whisk lentils when cooked so it all becomes a porridge. Alternatively, you could try whiskly brisking them.
*Heat oil over mdeium high flame/heat.
*When oil is sufficiently hot, fry cumin seeds for about 10 seconds. Then throw in the ginger and chillies; fry for another 30 seconds.
*Enjoy the smells!
*Fold the whole lot into the lentils and gently mix.
*Throw in the coriander.
*Serve
*Eat
********
I often add chopped spuds or eggplant to make a heftier meal.
I love eating out in Indian joints, but find the dal is ridiculously over-priced and too often too greasy and salty. Much more betterer to make it at home.
2007 -- Gypsy Soul
Gypsy Soul
Twenty 7, Xmas eve, with the full moon over town
Gypsy Soul sang to Oroboros while wearing a big frown
Do ya know she sang to him what do you make of that
'Cause Oroboros is a slick guy who ain't even a bit fat
Oh joe, oh joe, tell me where is the bowl
You ate all the cereal that was bought for Gypsy Soul
Gypsy Soul is a mad woman, don't wanna eat no bread
Joe go buy more Trix, and fill up the bowl
deadicated, deadicated oh sweet deadicated D
How the hell can I stop him, when he's twice as fat as me
Well don't ask me Trix Are For Kids, I don't feel so fine
Not only that, another thing, I GOT NO LYME
Oh joe, deadic said, just give me one
You ate all her cereal now she's gonna see you hung
He waded to the market through Count Chocula's blood
Stepped up to Gypsy Soul in the aisle, said give me a bowl full, love
As Gypsy Soul lit a cigarette, she made some calls
Blew the smoke in his face, dragged him out by the balls
Oh joe, oh joe, we'll see you hang high
You ate all my cer-e-al and now I've got to DYE
She went a-walking down on Shakedown Street
Three piece band on the corner played G - R - T - U - D
But we ate some different cereal, what cereal could it be
The cereal that woman ate was bought by Tiger Lilly
The cereal that woman ate was bought by Tiger Lilly

'dude, do the words quit while you are ahead mean anything to you' mutters cc joe's old lady
2 inside jokes
maybe people know gypsysoul makes tie dyes, hence the reference to I've got to dye.
but perhaps few people know one of her fav movies is Goodfellas, and she especially loves the line Jimmy Conway (Bobby DeNiro) said, 'I got no lyme!'
maye and izzie, please substitute your names in the last 2 lines for your private versions
and for the folks who were not mentioned, sorry, but do you realize how hard it is to rhyme something with 'cosmic badger' or 'hal R' ?? ' mom ' 'iknowurider' etc. etc. ( -;
It's all good CCj
As long as you continue blessing us with your wordy nuggets we won't take offense.
thanks
thanks.I think I was pushing the envelope a bit with gypsysoul's song... tough one to get everything to fit, not really 'just exactly perfect' a few beers later, it seemed OK ( -;
the other thing, was, I think all of the folks mentioned in gypsysoul's song (except for tiger lilly) were all active participants in the wild, wild west days of the original dead.net forum; so we have all been together and through quite a bit back in those days...
(not mentioning any specifics, though!!)

cadger n.Synonyms: cadge, beg, bum1, mooch, panhandle1
These verbs mean to ask for or obtain by charity: cadged a meal; begging for change; bum a ride; mooching food; homeless people forced to panhandle.
