    marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    heads up folks
    Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished. We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment. Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE. I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are. I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc. Thank you. ME with the mod hat on

We got disco ducks, daffy ducks, lucky ducks, sitting ducks and deadhead ducks here and then there is that lame duck in the White House. With that I will duck out of here. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

So cosmicbadger, since I did live in Wisconsin for years and it is "The Badger State" and I was a badger I thought I should share these for you from you tube. I figure we are related in some way and would share these with you so you could relate to your American badger brothers. Start with 1 Univ of Wisconsin Fight Song 2. On Wisconsin then move on to cheesehead Packer stuff 1. The Cheesehead Song 2. Cheese-Head Packer Fan 3. Cheese Head Baby!!! 4. I'm A Cheesehead Baby, The Pride of Wisconsin 5. Wisconsin Wedge of Allegiance 6. Eddie Blazonczyk and the Cheeseheads After viewing these I gained a deeper understanding of my cultural heritage, my inner self and what made me who I am today. Enjoy. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Hadn´t read Ami's warning and had the same problem with spewing coffee-Brilliant Badgers! Now just imagine them rainbow colored and wearing tye-dies, and then we have Cosmicbadgers! If you guys agree on the most appropriate Dead song for dancing Cosmicbadgers, I will have one of the graphic design guys at work make us a visual. Have the luck of having a comic book illustrator (for an original sketch to be scanned and colored) and gifted graphic designers in house and available. A rousing match between the Cosmicbadgers and Discoducks perhaps?********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

Jesus here … I have a message for all of you from beyond your realm. This is a Message from Jerry, Pigpen, Brent, Keith, and Bill. To all you who have taken this site and made it about personally attacking one another; who have made a point to forget about the music completely, who have disregarded what this web site is all about. You all have disappointed us greatly. Remember it’s about the music and what it means to each and every one of you. Stop the personal attacks against one another. There is a lot going on in this world right now. And not everyone is going to agree with each other on what should be done. The end of days is near. We need to come together and be united. No I’m not from the Chinese government. I have nothing to do with any government. Nothing we say on these forums about the world is going to change anything. Pray to who or what you believe in. At this point unless you are going to the different places or raising money to help fund these causes; all you can do is pray. So QUIT your bickering it’s time to get along and enjoy the music while we still have the freedom to listen to it. And Remember why we are here on this site in the first place!!!!

I'm not sure Billy K would appreciate being prematurely deceased. I am sure your advice is well intended JC, but the last thing this happy caring funny community needs is a false prophet telling us what and what not to do.

I certainly do believe that people should speak their minds. I also believe that people have the right to ignore anyone they choose. And I certainly never presume to speak for others without their express and demonstrable consent. But that's just how I see it. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

GRTUD - yeah Wisconsin gave us Joseph McCarthy, but it also had a socialist mayor of Milwaukee even when I was a kid in the early 60's. Also a very strong peace movement. When I was a kid my parents took me to what was like a state historical site there which was like this old schoolhouse and a plaque there said it was where socialism was founded in the U.S. So lots of different energies going on there. The cheeseheads can get scary though. Also has Alpine Valley which was a good spot for Grateful Dead shows.

I'm sure Wisconsin is great. I was "doing" HST when I made the remark. I know how much you like HST (as do I) so it was a half asses tip of the hat for you, at McCarthy's expense. Sorry if I came off negative. My uncle is from Wisconsin - major Packers fan - very nice and sweet man. I'd go there but for whatever reason, I haven't yet.

after looking back on a hectic day in this pseudo-chat room, I have to say I got a night time chuckle. CB is now either the well-endowed, tho modest Badger behind the hedge, unless it's a female badger which would mean she's a badger covering her beaver and with a nod to Hal, in Wisconsin yet! maybe the 'shroom is made of cheese. Gigi, if I had spewed Mescal, where on Earth would the worm end up? Speaking of on Earth, we have an appearance by JC himself and he's predeceasing others. reminds me of the great Monty Python- well, I just buried the cat! was it dead? No, but it didn't look so good, and I knew I'd be busy later in the week, so.... hey JC, tho I'm technically Jewish and we don't really believe in a heaven (or hell for that matter) say hi to my dad. I really miss him and he's a good 4th if you need a body for a pinnocle game. I agree with others, CCJ is too funny to be JC. And I don't know about you, but I don't sense any vibe of anyone really getting on anyone else- or am I just tripping? speaking of tripping, back to the dancing badger. I think CB should make mini-vids for all the various endangered species for heightened awareness. And how does this sound for Dancin' Badger music?: (sung to the tune of wave that Flag) here's the badge hard to image high on 'shrooms danced outta the room up and down all around near the bush what a cute tush danced outta bed whatta cheesehead world's spinnin round badger's searchin for the sound wave that badger wave him wide & high up and down boy in his hole my oh my oh my oh my.....
