    Cheech & Chong Reunion!
    Right on, iknowurider! Tommy Chong spent 9 months in a federal prison for his role in selling water pipes and bongs, via the internet. Blackmailed by US Attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan (Gestapo appointee of Herr Bush) Tommy's case was never heard in a real court of law because Buchanan threatened to prosecute his family members (son and wife) unless he accepted the government's terms, who were also part of his bong business. Tommy's house was raided and ransacked by federal goon agents that (imo) should have had other business than shaking down a peaceful head like Chong. This was the pivotal case that sent me away from the Republican Party and back into Never-Ever Land (politically). Good luck on your reunion tour, guys! I hope to catch a show myself.

    Funny Stuff, GM
    Jersey gulls seem to be getting more and more aggressive these days. Reminds me of when I was a kid on vacation in NC. My brother and I were sitting on the beach and a seagull flew by and shit on his shoulder. My father was standing there, points at him and starts laughing hysterically. I look at my dad thinking thats not funny, thats disgusting. All of a sudden here comes another one and it shits right on top of my dads head. Now he's not laughing anymore, but I'm doubled over cause NOW its funny. They didn't get me but I was already taking cover.Lessons learned: #1 Don't laugh when someone gets shit on by a gull. If it hears you it will target you next. #2 DON'T FEED THE SEAGULLS. You are just giving them ammunition. (unless you enjoy being shit on). : )

    I was watering some young Colorado Blue Spruce trees yesterday and startled a large bird of prey, a Marsh Hawk, watching him wing off to the west. I walked over to where he went aloft and found a young rabbit with a hole in his side, just above the forearm, minus the heart!

there was someone here who had a tat studio, maybe in one of the Carolinas?? I forget where, but I saw some samples of their work, pretty damn fine stuff.

And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Going where the there is no rain at all On a dry farm until fall Dug one well, made a ditch The muscles in his back are starting to bitch Again, CC's been drinking, out on a binge No reason why, but just on a whim Now he is shitfaced, on a plane Flying away, he's just in-sane And now CC's gone Now CC's gone, Lord he's gone CC's gone Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back Ooh, one day CC's gonna be back

I've thought about this situation on and off today with numerous different feelings / reactions and I'm going with my old standby: "You can only be a victim if you admit defeat" - Thats a line from a Descendents tune. The title of that song could be "Coolidge" but I'm not certain. Either way, the point remains that you and you alone are in control of how other's actions react with you. Its not the same thing as being "thick skinned". Its actually more like empathy. You need to step inside of his shoes for a minute and you'll probably find that you pity him much like Frodo and Bilbo pitied Smeagol. Face it, he made a deliberate attempt to mess with you and, to be perfectly honest, if I was looking at houses and I stumbled into a GD shrine complete with GD being played and posters, etc. I'd mess with the heads, too. Basically, because I'd have the understanding that deadheads are typically kind of out there and open to all kinds of kooky possibilities. However, I definitely wouldn't have made light of the passing of Jerry Garcia (rest his jammin' soul) out of respect for the heads in question. Yep, he did that to be a jerk and he succeeded, but we should all be laughing at his lack of understanding of the music. Which, while I'm philosophizing and quite loquacious, I'll add that deadheads are a potential turn-off for me sometimes. I just wanna hear the notes played. The kind of maniacally obsessive religiosity that some heads exude is simply too much for me at times. (some of you reading this may be in this category, but, for real, I mean no offense!) But hey, thats me. In fact, watching some of the footage of their shows lessens the musical effect for me, sometimes, but when I just put my ears on, well, shoot, I could listen for ages on end. I should shut up...now. | Wait until the veil is shredded, then reveal it |

thanks. that tattoo on that site is BAD. almost as bad as the one my dad got during his mid life crisis. the artist i was going to go to is on par with chris garver and had been featured in international tat magazines. turns out the age limit isnt 16 in ireland, and my dad wont give permission. I was thinking of getting a syf, as my second. my first i want to get as my 18th birthday gift at the famous miami ink.Peace, The Kid

yeah..miami ink are great,but the best on any good tatoo is that it comes out of your mind and phantasies and whatever,and than the guy making your tatoo becomes an artist..because he is able to get together your imagination and make it real with his handcraft.CC the one whos gone was pretty right,dont let yourself cover with black cats!:-)(-:

Cheryl Crow video called "Out Of Our Heads" a pretty cool song and they show Jerry in it giving a peace sign :) right after these lyrics...Every man is his own prophet Oh every prophet just a man I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves Teach your children best you can Let every man bow to the best in himself We're not killing any more We're the wisest ones, everybody listen 'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads And into our hearts Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your Tears and look to your heart

I just received the news the Philly Spectrum will be demolished early next year and be replaced with a mall and restaurants. "And the times they are a-changin". It was my home venue through high school in the 80's. A lot of good memories will go down with that building. The most memorable was in 1986. I was normally a hallway dancer, but this show I dug my way to about the 4th row in between Phil and Bob and and saw first hand Jerry lose touch with himself and his guitar totally took over his body. It was a Morning Dew out of space and Jerry did not look like the pillar of health coming out after drums. He was sweaty and shaking, but kicked into the most soulful rendition of Dew that I ever witnessed firsthand. (I believe it was my 1st Dew too). His guitar played him....I was convinced. I had tears in my eyes for the first time at a show. I was so blown away. Dew ended and the Band went off the stage. I didn't really comprehend the show was over, until the faithful in Philly started booing the Dead post encore. THE BOO'ed the DEAD. I was flabergasted. Never before and never again. Never a dull moment. I will miss the Filthy Spectrum.
