    Not just Dead music
    I was in a meeting last week at work, and someone said the phrase "no scour, no dry" a couple of times in a row. I'm not sure exactly what possessed me, but I started singing "No scour no dry" to the tune of "No Woman No Cry"....subvocally, I thought, but I guess maybe louder than I thought. My boss looked at me for a second and said, "Bob Marley, right?" We all had a good laugh...and I was impressed that I was singing well enough for someone, anyone to recognize the melody.

    I tend to say some off the wall things, as you've all gathered I'm sure ,but..... Do ya'll ever feel like you belt out a GD lyric, or line daily ?? It just comes to mind so often for me & I think : Man some folks in the Dead family would sure know where I was coming from. Even if it's cheezy nonsense. It's mainly The Dead & Arlo for me, when I said " TYPICAL CASE OF AMERICAN CASE OF BLIND JUSTICE" to my ( then) new boss at the Courthouse, I felt like an idiot, but I HAD to say it :) PEACE

Or is it Beef Pie? Nothing like the influence of a Frozen Beef Pie! Not that I'm knocking beer, mind you. Just hoping for a brave new superhero of the current economic slump. In any event, kudos to both Gratefulmom on her doubtlessly hugely successful venture and the intrepid wikifittist creatively promoting same. And may the wikiwankers be slow in discovering the transgression. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

...pretty much anything is good with enough tabasco sauce and seven beers! 'specially that habanero tabasco, mmmm. And I used to use about half a bottle of garlic tabasco on a pizza, but you can't find the stuff anymore I just checked the wiki article again at 1035 PM eastern time and the Wenonah blurb is still there, I'd paste it in here but that would spoil cc's surprise I think. Congratulations, gratefulmom! What's on the menu? ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

For the record, it was chicken and it wasn't very satisfying. Only had the crust on top, not all around, the tabasco helped a little but I didn't have any cheese or beer. Didn't use garlic salt (damn pies have more than enough sodium already). The sauce was watery and the vegetables diced too small. Looks like I'll have to break into the secret stash of Girl Scout Cookies. If my sister knew I've been holding back a box (or two) of Samoas she'd kill me. (a real calzone woulda been awesome. Or that appetizer I had at this Italian place near Pittsburgh, it was just hot peppers fried with asiago cheese - I had a triple order as my entree, paid the price but it was worth it) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

is holding open auditions for a bellringer, and a little hunchback is the first in line. the monk holding the interviews tells him to go ahead and give the rope a pull, see how he does. poor little guy pulls too hard and the rope slingshots him up the tower, and into the belfrey where he promptly smacks his face on the bell, causing it to resound with a perfect ring. falling out of the tower he lands on the ground and is surrounded by wouldbe bellringers, monks and a flustered policeman who asks the crowd if they know this man, to which the monk in charge of the auditions replied " i don't know his name but his face sure rings a bell".

heheheheheh. That's a good one to sign out with, thanks johnman G'night folks woops, one more thing: it's 11:11 PM EST, and the wikipricks have removed the g'mom blurb. Bastards. for posterity's sake: "Grateful Mom recently opened the most delicious and soon to be very famous Wenonah Italian Market/ Deli/ Resturant! The Wenonah Italian Market may be found at 2 West Mantua Ave in Wenonah." I googled the Italian Market and it looks like realtors are using it as a selling point for houses on Mantua Ave., as in "within walking distance of Wenonah's new Italian Market" etc. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

...of receiving my order. Samoas is (now=was) all I had left. Whole wheat muffins too! I didn't realize the NY Archive set had ever disappeared from amazon. I saw it when it was first posted, realized that it would set me back over five hundred bucks to enjoy (over $350 for the set, $150 for a blu-ray player) and couldn't look back. I have pretty low-def ears anyway. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

A recent post to the site 12/24, categorized as a story (that will probably disappear before long): "Sale Info Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page. Here is the promo page." (repeated another 94 or so times) Looks like a placeholder for some webprogramming. Maybe the deadnetstore had as disappointing holiday sales season as most other stores did, but I can't help but think they'd have had better sales if they had things to sell. Actually I have solved this merchandise problem for them, using a tribal philosophy with a dash of corporate geekiness. Dead.net needs to get out of the business of selling merchandise, except perhaps for actual music (CDs, downloads or whatever) and the limited edition tie-ins, and collectibles (posters, autographed things, fundraising stuff). They can't compete, either in selection or price, with about a bazillion small businesses that are on the 'net. I investigated this during the "Long Night of the Onesie", when I tried yet again to buy something at dead.net only to discover they were out of most of the items they showed on the initial webpages for that category. When I googled "Grateful Dead Onesie" I got those bazillion hits mentioned above, and these vendors had *wonderful* selections, all in stock, everything that had been available at the dead.net store (at some time in the past, I suppose). My admittedly brief survey suggested that these stores were overall cheaper, as well. So here's what the Dead Inc. people need to do: rather than waste a lot of time and effort trying to have a store of their own and keeping the applicable webpages current (or lose sales having somebody else manage the store for them, whichever it is), they need to go the Webring route, and direct potential customers to one of those other stores that do actually carry stuff, in stock. And these stores have a *huge* variety of things, too, that you never see at dead.net. All the items that the deadstore has (excepting the Egypt '78 tie-ins, which I expect to be on sale soon) plus the usual hippy goodies, beaded curtains, incense, stickers etc etc. Lot of it appears to be licensed goods, anyway, so GDP must've gotten a little fee in there somewhere already. Deadcorp. just needs to approach these vendors and offer to link to their site for some small percentage of any sales generated by customers crossing over from dead.net. Tracking the transaction is doable. The small (well-stocked & efficient) business gets to be a Dead.net preferred vendor, customers increase as a result, dead.net doesn't need to worry about having a store, and people can easily have access to a wider variety of merchandise, clothes, jewelry, books, everything. I've gotten references to several sites through users here at dead.net, and spent several hundred dollars as a result jsut in the last few months. If I would've used a link through the website to get to these other vendors (since I always start at dead.net) then DeadCorp would have gotten some little cut of the action, for no trouble at all. Viola! the problem is solved! And in a nice, communal fashion as well. There can be a nice group of pages here with links to other stores showing their logos or whatever, categorized or not. The dead.net site already does something vaguely similar, in the "Your Own Storefront" forum, this would just be bigger, centralized, flashier and more "professional". The Dead Mall. Lots of nice groovy names, too. "Dharma Rose", "SunshineJoy", like that. Brilliant. Ah, I'm a genius. You can send me a present, out of gratitude. Probably have an extra pyramid laying around, that'll be OK I guess, as long as I don't have to pay the shipping :^) (and look, here's one of those businesses to get ya started, and Beth sends the profits to Rex!) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I happened to be in a doctor's waiting room recently, for reasons that don't need to be discussed here. This doctor is a general practitioner, and as luck would have it there were three pregnant women in the waiting room as well - must've been "Ultrasound Wednesday" or something. I tend to listen in on other people's conversations in situations like this; here is what I observed: One of the ladies was reading some new-agey magazine and remarked on the article she was reading. "This is kind of interesting" she said, "it says here that the gender of your child can to some extent be determined by the kind of lovemaking that led to the conception. I guess that means that I'll be having a little boy, because my husband was very manly and virile and totally ravished me when we made this baby." "That is interesting" said the lady to her left, "I suppose I will be having a girl then, because when my husband made love to me it was very gentle and sensitive, and he had lit candles and incense and sprinkled rose petals on the bed. Sounds like a girl for me." At this point the third lady burst into tears, sobbing loudly and moaning "Oh no, oh no". The first two pregnant ladies finally got her calmed down enough to talk (in situations like this, I try to turn invisible). "What's the matter, dear? Are you OK? Is there anything we can do?" Between sobs the distraught pregnant lady managed to get out: "I'm...I'm...I'm gonna have puppies!" (Cheers, TL!) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I own this issue-the one right after Jerry left us, along with several mint condition Tim Truman Grateful Dead comics. The Rolling Stone no longer mint-but intact. All this stuff been imported with me from the states to Europe. PM me if anybody interested in owning it, or for more details on the comics. Postage from europe would have to be included in selling price, but am open to negotiation. Hard times call for desperate measures.

it wasn't enough that the boys played absolutely steller shows both nights, and not enough that Jackie was a fucking HOT opening act, not enough that I met Jeff Chimenti outside te venue early afternoon on the 30th, not enough that the boys played well over 6 hours of MUSIC both nights, not enough that my old lady was literally brought to tears by the most excellent Dear Prudence, not enough that I ran into plenty of old friends and made some new ones, not enough that we was back in San Francisco after a ten year absence... but on exiting the show on NYE, being handed the spring tour notice; hmmm, that was the coconut cream icing on top of a very nice cake. nothing left to do but smile smile smile. of course we already have/had plans/ air tix, for April/May far far away from the US, but shiiiiiit; free mile tix can be cancelled, and plans can/will be changed. love and peace.

and now kind people, on the other side of the rabbit hole: don't get me wrong, I'm here and will be around this site for another week or so before we head off to escape the cold rain and snow in our usual way to the wilds of South East Asia... gotta pay back some karma to the karma balance sheet keepers. got a few more days on the road shooting pool to raise up a bit more cash for the tour and then back to the villages and the village people of Issaan. the timing for us, personally, was just exactly perfect. with the NYE shows, the announcement, and the tix sales while I still got access to a decent i-net connection. jet lag does suck though, and I am still body clocked knocked out. does the fraise, 'not as young as you used to be...' ring any bells. ring the bell, technical knock out. back off topic: funny thing about the complainers, or maybe I should say ironic; nobody complained about the one thing I might have complianed about: did anyone look at a frigging map?? back and forth and up and down, too far tour planners. NC to DC and then back to Charlottesvile? all the way to Albany and then to Mass? then to Buffalo? no logic in the logistics... wanted to take the Erie Canal from Albany to Buffalooooo low bridge everybody down! well, I am OUT of the mindset of going to as many shows as humanly possible, and trying to be mellow in our approach, but no way can I make those long drives... anyways, totally stoked about the tour!! AND sooooooooooooooo happy for our Tiger Lilly. peace.

We'll see if this makes it to the post.... We all loved Jerry's presence and music. We all had all the freedom we wanted. But are we free to do whatever we want? Are we free to self-destruct? I don't think so. We're all our brother's (sisters) keeper. Certain people are enablers. All they believe in is absolute freedom. I wish Jerry was still around making music today. I couldn't see another show after May of 93. Yeah, there are always some nice colors when the sun sets. How did Neil Young put it in that song he sings at every one of his shows? I didn't know. It still bums me out to this day. I miss Jerry, I wish I could still here him play...

AP has reported the following: "Dewey Martin, the muscular, gregarious drummer and singer who helped found the pioneering country rock band Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and Stephen Stills, has died. He was 68." His death is being attributed to "natural causes", and the article says he played for Patsy Cline and other country artists while living in Nashville, pre-Buffalo Springfield. RIP, MitD ********************************************* **************This space for rent***************** *********************************************
