    Almanac!!!!
    What is this almanac that people keep referring to? Is it only a domestic U.S. thing??********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

    would an autographed poster be in the bathroom except to become full of mildew and rot?

    here's something(s)
    Here's something: I too received a GD Almanac. And two days later I received another one! Dead.net loves me two times, baby! (I'm guessing I'm listed twice in the Cosmic Database, I also get two copies of "official email list" messages). Here's something else: a short while ago I happened to be doing google searches for something or other, using the keywords "grateful dead", "moroni", "skeleton", maybe a couple of others. Scanning the list of sites that Google presented me with one caught my eye. It appears to be one of your more fundementalist Christian sites, and was basically talking trash about Mormons etc. For your amusement the link is: http://www.basicchristian.org/christian_mormon.html The following is a snippet that contains the keywords that got the page googled. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote! (I didn't see any copyright notices on the site, and believe that fair use provisions would allow this excerpt. I will understand if this post disappears, however. Hey, the Devil made me do it!) "The new Majority Leader for the United States Senate is now U.S. Senator Harry Reid {a loyal (LDS) Mormon} of Searchlight, Nevada. When Reid was being interviewed in his home by reporters, he took them into his bathroom and pointed to his most prized possession. It was an autographed poster of the Grateful Dead. (38) The Grateful Dead is a notorious hard rock band noted for their heavy drug cult following. They are a satanic group of the first magnitude, and their followers are referred to as deadheads. Their emblem is a skeleton wearing a tuxedo and top hat with the skull wearing sunglasses. It is true, our Senate Majority leader is a deadhead, and this may explain the residue of the two lines of white powder on the glass top of the table, where he was seated with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, sometimes referred to as "Nasty Pelosi.""

    Dead.net almanac address inquiry
    Dear folks:I received an almanac from Dead.net, a week or so ago, and noticed it was addressed to my sister at my Kansas address: she lives in Ohio. Is the mailing list tied-in with addresses pulled from merchandising orders? She ordered a Dick's Pick's as a gift and had it sent direct to me last December.... Previous almanacs did have my name and address correct, but it had been awhile since I'd seen one in the mailbox. Looking forward to the next one!

always been one of my personal 'missions' to spread the music around and sharing it with folks anywhere and everywhere... I recently had occassion to share a Jerry band version of Mission in the Rain with a bunch of rural, rice harvesting octogenarians. pretty cool to see the fingers and feets tapping to the tune and the smiles slowly forming.

The Dark Star Orchestra paid tribute to the Grateful Dead Friday night at Washington DC's 9:30 Club with a set of covers originally by the legendary band. Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski then did his part to pay tribute to the band onstage by urinating off a balcony onto the crowd below during their set. He was arrested and charged with simple assault. A source from the club told the Daily News, "We've dealt with this man before. He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk." Lipski has been a councilman in Jersey City since 2001. Now that is sick!

My little brother once had a stuffed animal named bobo, think it was a bear but really kinda looked like a monkey. Used to call my Father bobo, his name was Bob. Isn't there a class of shoes called bobo's, kinda like some cheap chuck's. Had a saying that when something was lame we would say, man this is bobo. Think there are some cookies called coco bobo's. There is a cafe in Vicenza, Italy called "cafe bobo". oh bobo oh bobo. If there was a hobo wearing cheap chuck's would he be called a bobo hobo? Remember Sheriff Lobo, he was kinda bobo. Guess you could say that that councilman is pretty bobo. Wasn't there a clown named bobo. Damn sleep deprivation gets me goofy.

...this is kinda funny, in a "oops dropped a $100,000 toolkit" sorta way. From spaceweather.com (you can go there to get directions on where to look): ISS Toolbag BRIGHTNESS: 6 (use binoculars) On Nov. 18, 2008, spacewalking astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper dropped her backpack-sized toolbag and it floated away from the International Space Station. The errant bag, about as big as a hiker's backpack, is now orbiting Earth. It is visible through binoculars and small telescopes. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************
