I was merrily shopping and getting into the christmas scene. I joyfully got in my car and backed right into someone's car, waaaa I did damage to it and mine car too, it really sucks and the guy was a big jackass and called the cops even though I stayed and gave him my name and #, his car was so beat up anyway it had been sideswipes down both sides, and hit on every corner ,now that I hit the only good part of his car.He should of let a nice girl like me go, but NO he went on a rampage of how his car always gets hit and how he is sick of people! So now I get to pay to have this iditots bomb fixed!! Merry Christmas to me :(

Very well put. I know how you feel.I'm so sorry. I can't imagine some loser stranger going off on my like that! Positive Insurance Beams coming your way!! I bet Santa will give the idiot COAL in his stocking, hey now, his stocking probably has holes in it! Take it easy, & keep us posted PEACE

Im 53 From Wigan Lancashire EnglandOnly got into the dead 10 years ago main reason not before was the dead always seem to bring out triple live albums too expensive to take a risk now got nearly all albums plus many live shows love jerrys guitar pm me if anyone interested in side talks

christmas beamz and insurance beamz headed your way.

It's been ages since my last post, and I just wanted to stop in and wish everyone here a Happy New Year!!!!!!!! I Dead to the Core www.myspace.com/bongwizard

grayfolded, good to see you back, buddy! I was JUST thining about you (like literally, dude)... fucking irony. I expect a book report on what you did during Christmas vacation and since your last post ages ago by Monday. peace. joe

mucho of the credit should go to deadicated since he coined the phrase 'Dark HalR' Mr Potato Head Deadhead? an honourable title, better than my "Corpulent Caboose Joe" a la "New Potato Caboose" Lyrics: Bobby Petersen Music: Phil Lesh Last leaf fallen, bare earth where green was born Above my doorknob, two eagles hang against a cloud Sun comes up blood red Wind yells among the stone All graceful instruments are known When the windows all are broken And your love's become a toothless crone When the voices of the storm sound Like a crowd Winter morning breaks, you're all alone The eyes are blind Blue visions are all a seer can own And touching makes the flesh to cry out loud This ground on which the seed of love is sown All graceful instruments are known peace.

New Potato Caboose in the Washington DC area. I saw them years ago in Philly.

a virtual game that's extremely popular. Avatars; and some chic actually made a million $$ real currency on the game. Second Life or something like that.Any one here have an Alter-ego-Avatar? I'm keeping the kids away from that one, just for the fact I know nothing about it, for that matter, is it even a kids game? I could always google it. he he

I have some friends who are really seriously into it. I personally don't see the appeal, but I'm not at all the target market, I don't think. I'm a text kinda girl and all that animated avatar stuff is way too much work! I tend to concur with your keeping the kids out. Yes, I think a lot of the media hype about predators lurking behind every virtual bush on the Internet is overblown and driven by various agendas I don't support at all. But STILL.

Well said! I guess I'm really out of the loop, but where does real money come into play? Cass enjoys Nick.com & neo pets, which I'm cool with. Kramer really likes an online game called ruenscape(sp?). I was a little leary at first,but we keep the computer in the dining room and they each get and hour a day. They can split that up between video games or computer time. Before we put a limit on it, things got a bit out of hand. Now we have a chart made up, bc we got really sick of one of them saying "he's had his time, she's had her time"...... What a trip! Never a dull moment PEACE

and I hope some Second Lifer will come along to correct me, you charge various enhancements on your credit card and people offer virtual environment-enhancing goods and services to make your online home just exactly perfect, for which of course they charge money. (If you believe the aforementioned media hype, commercial cybersex is quite the industry, for example.) Now me, I'd go YOU WANT REAL MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT ONLY EXISTS IN SECOND LIFE??? ARE YOU INSANE??? But hey, I'm 60.

Its your sense, not your age, bc you are Right ON! I don't get it. Well, I know there are plenty of things I dont get. Here's one that 's bugging me: Cassidy is 8 yrs old. All of her little friends have gotten cell phones for Christmas. Well now, she's got her panties in a wad ~thanks nannie for that gem~ & I told her she can use our telephone whenever she likes. If she were a latchkey kid or a driver perhaps, but 8. Get REAL - just trying to pacify those damn kids, that's what I think Hells bells!

Is that for real? Wish I would have thought of it, you get money for nothing. Well the very positive aspect to me seems to be that maybe people would spend their money on virtual stuff and will stop buying all this real stuff and overloading our planet with junk and garbage. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Man,That IS a very positive way of looking at it! Very Impressive. Still, wierd game, but nice twist on it Hal R PEACE

I rarely set foot in a shopping mall, thank God, but had to over Christmas due to failing to shop online in a timely fashion. I am just appalled at the endless amounts of useless crapola and the constant pressure to buy it.

saw my rant a while back, but shopping is not for me. It makes me sweat, even if I'm not spending money.I saw they now offer Decorative on your hip Pepper spray holders that will also carry you ipod (under new inventions on msn) Crapola, great word!

but I have no idea who coined it.

Guglielmo Marconi, as the inspiration of that word, marye. "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."

hey, does everyone else suddenly see the number of posts? and number of shows, when joined under the screen name. shucks, 866 posts; shows how much time I am sitting on my fat ass in front of the 'puter. OK, I need to get out more. off to the pool hall tomorrow! gotta huslte up some travel cash. peace.

The envelope please - Most posts by an nonmoderator goes to CCj formerly know as CCJoe or to some around these parts, backwards CCJoe. With a grand total of 866 total posts. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

"There ain't a winner in the game, he don't go home with all, not with all" if only... if only it were true that I saw 866 shows... so I still feel like a loser. Bruiser If I saw a show for every post that I have drawn I could tell tall tales all night feelin' very keen Don't you count the posts baby cause that really blows And you know I'm only running from the cold All the shirts in my closet ain't got no collars And I ride all over this great wide land You can reach out and pick up a four leaf clover But I'll always win a game against THE MAN Last fair hustle in the country, sweet Susie Last fair hustle in the town Put your gold money where your game is baby Before you let me leave this old town Don't you count the posts baby cause that really blows Well I know almost nothing that you won't ever know Don't chew gum or a piece of hard toffee Gonna play with some suit and make'm feel woe Everybody's dragging but this cue is mine I can tell the 8 or 9 ball by the way they shine Pot the 9 ball on a clean hard break Well I got no chance of losing this time Well I got no chance of losing this time

"And I came out in second place" I just noticed bob has more posts that I do, hal. so he deserves the accolade, not I. peace.

OK, kids. it is just about that time for me to hit the road again because, I like to move it move it! gotta get out of this cold rain and snow to where the suns so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles fill the sky see y'all in a few months! just remember: "Don't shake the tree when the fruit ain't ripe Singing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Singing thank you, for a real good time" love and peace. oh, and LET'S GO GIANTS!!!!!!

Have a great trip ;-} "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

THERE AINT NO TRUTH,THERES ONLY HONESTY! Yves KLEIN(french painter)

thanks GRTUD, dude, in the transit lounge now, I'll be back with the cats under the stars in about an hour or so. peace

and hurry home to us!

Safe travels man...Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack, You ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back. What else do you lack to make it right, But cats down under the stars tonight. Peace :) Gigi

thanks people for the kind wishes and private messages. it is really slow to log on for me. ) -; all I will say now is: a 6:30 AM kick off, but a pretty big screen TV! plenty of kindness with the folks watching the game. love and peace.

and don't you run off, no more, CCj! Happy Trails, man! "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

"No place left to go, ain't that a shame? So many roads I tell you New York to San Francisco So many roads I know All I want is one to take me home From the high road to the low So many roads I know So many roads so many roads From the land of the midnight sun Where the ice blue roses grow Along those roads of gold and silver snow Howlin' wide or moaning low So many roads I know So many roads to ease my soul" hunter

You are quite a trip! You and your Lady relax & take it easy Peace rider

to Philly 3/30 Tower Theater!!!!! Tix go on sale tomorrow...I think :/

not exactly sure where to post this, but I'm pretty sure this is the right place. For all who dont know, I'm a sixth grader, and I promptly display that I'm a dead head...(writing about the dead in journal...wear shirts with "dancing deady bears") so she came up to me about 2 weeks ago and said that her boy friend was looking through his basement and found a box of dead live recordings. She snatched one out for me and gave it to me...here's the stuff written out on it (stuff in parenthesis are my comments): LIVE DEAD (kinda ironic) Boston 1 9/30/93 Sunshine Spoonful Canoyman El Paso Broken Arrow Stagger Lee Easy Ans. Dont Ease Brokedown JARHUNDERT HALLE 4/26/72 COMES A TIME SUGAR MAGNOLIA (appeared in capital on tape) ---------------------------------------- I'm not a real hard core dead head and only know a few of their songs, but they are my favorite band. The only song I know on it is sugar magnolia, and I dont know what the last part in capital means, with the second date and all... I'm about to check the tapers section to get a better sense of the songs. Any suggestions as to which ones are real good would be greatly appreciated...I havnt listened to the tape yet because my parents are divorced, and I'm going to be with my mom for another week or two, and my mom doesnt have a tape player at her house...the only one I know of is in my dad's car (which is pretty old).

you can look up the details of the two shows on your tape here on this site through 'SHOWS AND LYRICS', select the year of the show and click on the date. It should show the venue and setlist JA(h)RHUNDERT HALLE is a concert hall in Germany where the Dead played on 4/26/72 You can buy an official CD of selections from that show if you like it, called '100 Year Hall' I suggest you get your hands on some more of those tapes, but as to what is good and what is not....well that is of course entirely up to you!

Deadicated. Thanks for sharing that belly laugh!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

Here's one for you....Cosmo the deadhead is at the end of his rope. He's broke, half a continent away from his folks and he needs to get home. All he has left is his dog, Astro. He spies a likely yuppie couple on the way to their Porsche. He says, "Excuse me, I'm broke and I want to sell my dog for bus money. He's special dog, he even talks! Ask him something." The man seems appalled, but the woman is itrigued. "Oh Dale, that would be so kewl! OK, doggie, what's your favorite dead song?" Astro barks "Wharf, wharf, wharf". The couple laugh at this and leave, without buying Astro, of course. Astro looks at Cosmo and says, "maybe I should have said Playin'?"

I love it. classic one about the dog but never heard that variation before. lightened up my day.Thanks. Peace, Kid
