Grateful Dead

Folks, in the interest of not derailing the Joke Award topic with this serious and excellent thread, I suggest moving the discussion and appreciation of our brothers and sisters in uniform here: Dead Heads in the Military

Right behind you. I'd never have the balls to fight. I don't respect the petty politicians but I do respect the soilders. my Love goes out to the families who are missing pieces of their lives everyday. & for the one's still fighting come home soon.....

good morning all my sisters & brothers, i hope u all get a few minutes this memorial weekend to remember those other sisters & brothers of ours who have perished or were maimed while in harms way. although we may disagree with the reasons of war these souls have paid the ultimate sacrifice and deserve>no demand our respect..."may the music rock their souls" stay safe and feel good!

is delighted to accept this award. It´s owner will indeed look for a Dead Head sticker to apply, as is a just reward to show valiant heroism of this bag. For all recent fans of this small brown bag, it will be undertaking a new adventure this upcoming weekend-flying Sevilla/Madrid/Dusseldorf and back, so stay tuned for "part III"********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Goes to The small brown suitcase perhaps a little Dead Head sticker could be applied to the recipient!

Thanks Hal, I 'm glad you got to the end at last ;-) I would like in turn to nominate both Richard and Spanish Bob for the Long Distance Vine award, spreading the music in both directions across the big pond that divides/unites us.

Oroboros takes the Master of the Vine award for updating most of the vines tonight and staying up way past his bed time and seeing double double. This poem from Lew Welch is for Master of the Vine PHILOSOPHY Never ask Why What Always ask What’s What. Observe, connect and do. The great Winemaster is almost a Magician to the bulk of his Tribe, To his Peers he is only accurate. “He knows the Grape so well”, they say, “He turned into a Vine.” If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
