    every thing can be put to music
    my problem is that when i sing out a line or two i can't help but dance a little...so there i am at work and were just chit-chatting about where we are from then my co worker said i was born in arizona..well i couldn't help but to ask rasied in a lions den?..so i start tapping my feet and bobing my head next thing i know everyone is looking at me as if i had two heads...i just can't sit still when i hear good tunes even when it is in my head... let your life proceed by its own design

    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

hi, does anybody out there know if the Grateful Dead's banner still hangs in the rafters at Madison Square Garden. I used to go to N.Y. Ranger hockey games there when I was a little kid and started seeing concerts there when I was about 12. I think I was at the shows when the banner went up and was never so proud to be a "deadhead" and see it hanging up there with all the great Ranger and Knicks teams.

i know there is some awards or something topic somewhere, but I forgot where and I'm too lazy to look... BUT I nominate our very own Cosmic Badger for crreating the BEST POST EVER and FRIGGING FUNNIEST POST EVER award!!!! re-printed here WITHOUT permission: On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said: "making the perfect Martini ......the thing is that when Galileo decided that the earth went round the sun he was thinking in the same way that Timothy Leary did except in a different dimension many years later..this thought occurred to me while I was inventing a new recipe for beef stroganoff during the brief period that I worked as a sous-chef under the Great Escoffier. I tend to find that I have many thoughts like this especially when I am in the presence of the many great people who have crossed my path during their lives..but I digress. I think it may be something to do with my genes that, as the great Darwin said, ensure that only the fittest survive...but of course that depends on what you mean by survival..it could be in the literal sense, but me personally, I like to consider survival as a metaphysical extension of my id..in that way I suppose that I am a sort of renaissance man but transported somehow to the present day. In this way I can very much relate to that wonderful Grateful Dead song ..how does it go...'my time coming any day don’t worry ‘bout me no’ ..of course I met the great John Perry Barlow once, or rather my Albanian nephew met someone who knew him on a chairlift on a skiing holiday in Venezuela..talking of which, that Hugo Chavez is quite a dude I should say..sticking it to Uncle Sam the way he does, but as for myself I have been rereading the writings of Sir Oswald Mosely; if you read his words carefully as I have done you might find that he has more truths to share with us all than some would have you think. Well as I have always said “you can’t have too much of a good thing” so I ‘ll be sure to let you know some more of my thoughts on this and other matters real soon. Peace y’all." On March 18th, 2009 cosmicbadger said this!!! just thinking of the title makes me laugh. thanks man, I'm gonna Cheerfully Chuckle all night. peace.

Special birthday greetings to Badger, and happy Equinox to everyone else, Vernal or Autumnal as appropriate for your hemisphere. And for those living on the Equator, whichever way your pleasure tends! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Happy birthday Badger!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cosmic Badger Cosmic Badger what's up with you You travel so far, that's what you do To 'WhereverthefuckitisStan' you flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Cooking up a pot of badger stew Light the fire -- put it under you Out the window a Great Tit flew Go on home, Mrs Badger's calling you Now you have just one more chance We all wanna see the Badger dance Trippin out and in a trance Poke my eyes, with a lance Meeting you in an airport bar Looking at the sky we see Dark Star Drinking beers all during the day My ears are clogged, 'what did you say?' You said you're a badger or are you a skunk Don't really know but there's a funk Is it you or is it me? Don't know, but CC's gotta pee CC Joe, the cops are on to you You are taking so damn long in the loo What you got there in your hand? What comes out is dry like sand You're feeling that 'itch' aren't you? Your old lady knows what you wanna do Poor old CC, please don't feel blue Turning her back she's just stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Stalling you Maybe later, she says with a sigh Old CC is starting to cry No worries, mate. She's joking with you Get in bed, she says to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you Get in bed, she'll be kind to you KIND TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here's to another 50 years! image hosted by ImageVenue.com

the ugliest badger I have ever seen and I have seen quite a few having lived in Wisconsin for years. I think cosmicbadger may still be recovering from the culture shock when I had him look at all sorts of youtube videos of Wisconsin Badger fans and their alternate ego's as Packer Cheeseheads. Made him listen to lots of bad polka. I think it gave him a better understanding of my upbringing and outlook on life and allowed him to truly explore his deep hidden essense.
