@One fish, Two fish, Red fish...

Green fish!!!....was the answer some schmuck gave for the first question on who wants to be a millionaire.... Stupid show..... The million dollar question was, What rock act won the first Grammy in the new category of best Hard Rock / Metal Album in 1988? No cheating please...... I been thinking lately about the people I meet The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow. Father forgive us for what we must do You forgive us we'll forgive you We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven. I was in the army but I never dug a trench I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch But I don't think they ever even noticed me. Fish and whistle, whistle and fish Eat everything that they put on your dish And when we get through we'll make a big wish That we never have to do this again again? again? On my very first job I said thank you and please They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees Then I got fired for being scared of bees And they only give me fifty cents an hour.

@ Fish in the Sea

here fishy fishy fishy... Seventy-three men sailed up From the San Francisco Bay, Rolled off of their ship And here's what they had to say. "We're callin' everyone to ride along To another shore, We can laugh our lives away and be free once more." But no one heard them callin', No one came at all, 'Cause they were too busy watchin' Those old raindrops fall. As a storm was blowin' Out on the peaceful sea, Seventy-three men sailed off To history. Ride, captain ride Upon your mystery ship, Be amazed at the friends You have here on your trip. Ride captain ride Upon your mystery ship, On your way to a world That others might have missed. [Instrumental] Seventy-three men sailed up From the San Francisco Bay, Got off their ship And here's what they had to say.

@Big Fish

We had so much fun! But it's always better when you catch some nice fish! Getting home to Seattle was more of an adventure than I was ready for on no sleep! Storms in CHI delayed us a couple times. Home at 2:00 AM. Off to work at 7:00! Karma keeps forgetting I am old! On the plus side the radio played a nice mix of Dead tunes on the boat!

@drizzle

Coming right up.... BTW that was one reel big fish!!!! Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall stealing thru the dark of night Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor checking to the left and the right Picking up the pieces, putting them away something doesn't feel quite right Help me someone, let me out of here then out of the dark was suddenly heard welcome to the Home by the Sea Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door pushing from above and below shadows but no substance, in the shape of men round and down and sideways they go adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair then as one they sign and they moan Help us someone, let us out of here living here so long undisturbed dreaming of the time we were free so many years ago before the time when we first heard welcome to the Home by the Sea

@ can't stop laughing

They were so serious and yet so ridiculous! This song is sorta the same... Is love so fragile And the heart so hollow Shatter with words Impossible to follow You're saying I'm fragile I try not to be I search only For something I can't see I have my own life And I am stronger Than you know But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like me And you were right When I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I'd get by Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace Lovers forever Face to face My city or mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me My lace Take from me My lace Take from me My lace

@Let's get back to the country....

Love the A frame homes.....and a log cabin is a bonus.... Patience is a virtue, Grasshopper.... Slipping and sliding and playing domino Lefting and then Righting, it's not a crime you know. You gotta tell your story boy, before it's time to go. Are you ready for the country because it's time to go? Are you ready for the country because it's time to go? I was talkin' to the preacher, said God was on my side Then I ran into the hangman, he said it's time to die You gotta tell your story boy, you know the reason why. Are you ready for the country because it's time to go? Are you ready for the country because it's time to go? So Goodnight Irene Goodnight, hey Stella!! and Ellie Mae and all the ships at sea......

new head looking for the group connection

Hey people hows life going? My names Willy Pete and I'm a pretty young dude (think 18) whose parents might be letting me loose for the first time to drive a few states over to hang out on the "scene". I don't really have buckets of money so buying a legit ticket is out of the question, but I definitely have enough for gas, food, maybe a cheap hotel to shower up or whatever. Anyone have word on where someone could get a shower? Is sleeping in a car safe/dangerous? Where the cheapest hotel might be (willing to drive out of town for this)? How not to get murdered or robbed?I don't really have a clue whats going to happen but I imagine it would involve hanging out, being a parking lot rat outside the show and later/before, at certain meet up spots. A big request my parents made is that I find people and/or events beforehand to meet up with online so i'm not showing up clueless and alone. So yeah, whats the word on how this is going down? I'd love to get to know some real down to earth people and have a good time. I've only spent time in small time local scenes, so this is a HUGE deal for me. Bring me to the circle of life! Love -

Message From A Scalper In Miami

David Marc Harris‎Grateful Dead 50th - Face Value Tickets19 hrs · FLAG IT! He just sent me this: YOU HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE FILE. And you might want to let your friends know that all the harassing emails, with low ball offer and statements about my character or what I should or should not do with MY tickets and the prices of MY tickets, are being forwarded to the Attorney Generals Office and placed into a file that is being put together regarding a charge of conspiracy to commit extortion. You see when you and your friends decided to harass sellers into doing something against their will, in order to gain something for yourself is extortion. And since all of you conspirators are in many different states you bought yourself FEDERAL charges. GRATEFUL DEAD - YOU WANT EM - I GOT EM I HAVE TICKETS FOR THE 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH OF JULY AT SOLDIER FIELD IN CHICAGO miami.craigslist.org "If you got the denero, I GOT my Camero"

Message from Scalper

Like the feds would really give a shit or make a priority about a scalper selling tickets on Craigslist. Laughable. I can't imagine anyone making threats or anything, right? That might be a different story. Just remember that words in this forum are Google searchable, I think.

@ Scalper....

Whoa, James...what's that post you made all about dude? That was certainly far from a nice and pleasant correspondence... What's going on?

That's Gonna Leave A Mark

If he was feeling harassed before, I am sure he is feeling absolutely carpet-bombed now. He should have thought it through before posting that statement.

I think

the offending message was from a scalper, and James was forwarding it.

scalper

methinks thou doth protest too much.

Message From Scalper Was Meant To Offend The Scalper

He made a threat that people who he felt were messing with him about the prices he was selling his tickets for were all being rounded up and reported to the Attorney General. A threat that has absolutely no merit. All he did was bring attention to himself, and this has all backfired on him.

@james...

For a moment I thought it your horse talking after developing hoof n mouth.... Glad Trigger is ok.... Lunch time beer for our horses and whiskey for our heads.... sarsaparilla for our wharf rats.... Never used the word sarsaparilla before....

Yeah, Sorry Post Was Misunderstood.

I assure everyone I am not scalping tickets on Craig's List in Miami. I live in Ely, Nevada. I have not been harassed by anyone over it, and I certainly am not threatening anyone with legal repercussions. A scalper in Miami posted this warning. I regret any misunderstanding this post has caused. Still feel it is of interest to some.

@Dudley

It's all good, does the rockin horse want a Porter, Stout or Double IPA?

Sarsaparilla...

Fitting that today, the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express, you use the word Sarsaparilla. Anyone know just what the heck Sarsaparilla is? Other than rrrrrrgrrrrr (btw, we're still awaiting the details of your new cooking show on The Food Channel) anyone ever use that in a sentence? Who talks that way? Sarsaparilla: Sarsaparilla is a soft drink, originally made from the Smilax regelii plant, but now sometimes made with artificial flavors. Sarsaparilla was popular in the United States in the 19th century. What plant? The rrrrrgrrrrr plant?

@Sasparillies

And why are Shirley Temples called that? Boy I loved to eat the cherry, but I ain't no boy called Sue.

@sarsaparilla

It's collected at harvest time in Mendocino.... Had some at Willies Place in Maui....just for shits n giggles.... Naan coming out of the clay oven now with some chicken masala and basmati rice..... Want a plate?

@the master of double entendre

Totes, beer or whiskey?

@welcome wagon

Speaking of ponies and horses and wharfrats....the welcomeWagon is out. Welcome to bob, Kurt and Jeff2. Way back at 3am spicy icy posted a msg looking to meet real folks. We are real folk, right? But how did he find US?

Whoa we have a new greeter here....step off Loretta....eh?

Waiting for our new DA members to properly introduce themselves....you know .... my name is.....insert name here.....I'm a deadhead and I miss Jerry.... And we all go...in a disaffected tone.... I know....then they get the welcome packet.... Patience grasshopper....it's all good....beer whiskey or saspirillie? Btw @74 it was a very good year but 4/09/82 was better...check inbox around 4pm est....

@rrrrgrrr Why

would you collect it any other time than "harvest time"? lay off the rye..

@Booboo buddy

Desperate times call for desperate measures....And it's sarsaparilla for me...bro

At a time like this....

It calls for this: http://www.mcneel.com/users/jb/foghorn/bother.wav

@double shots of entendre

Boy Rich, you got me there. I had to look that word up. Don't even get me going on the Brown Derby serving Shirley Temples! Beer. I have a not so funny story about me, Southern Comfort, Hamburg Beach, and tickets for the 1987 Summer Tour. There is a happy ending involving kind people and a phone number of the girl I was wooing scribbled on the ticket envelope. Short story, No Whiskey! I should have had a Sasparilla instead.

Totes my man....

Kyle...87 was a wild tour year.... Ya know the Devils in the whiskey and the women....they are a bold deceiver... Lived it, loved it, regretted it, savored it.... And there's whiskey in the jar'o..... Really dig the Metallica version..... As for vocabulary...we use this forum to open our hearts, minds and enhance our vocabulary....I challenge each and every head to use 1 new word in a post daily and we will all be better for it.... and I like cherries too.....

Word of the day

Rumor has it there's a severe epidemic of caliclarahypersomnia spreading throughout the West coast. I don't normally wish illness upon others; in this case I've got to admit I hope the rumors are true. caliclarahypersomnia:def: Severe and overwhelming need to sleep; inability to wake up; always coincident with GD Santa Clara ticket lottery deadlines. Effects include confusion upon awakening, severe distress over missing lottery deadlines, and a surplus of tickets for those unaffected.
