    i went to school today to get ready for the new semester to begin (monday 8/10)... this year we have a new principal- AND HE'S A DEADHEAD! gee, how do i want to characterize this....??? ...!!! how does KICK ASS sound?! it may not make him a perfect boss or anything, but at least i know there's common ground... yeah! and the favorite word in our house was one of those typically stupid hoosierisms: "do wha?" we gave up 'huh?' as too confusing i guess! caroline

    Huh? It's really great when I'm with my Dad, who preceded me down this hearing-impaired road. Huh? Huh? Huh? HUH??? Actually, I revert a lot to "I'm sorry?" That way I communicate that I didn't hear, that it's my fault, and, you know, I'm sorry for making you repeat what you said. Ted, your story made my day...

    I feared my wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to. I thought she might need a hearing aid. >>>> (Too many Who concerts?) <<<< Not quite sure how to approach her on the subject, I called the family doctor to discuss the problem. Doctor told me there is a simple informal test I could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do." said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and say something in a normal conversational speaking tone, to see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." Last evening, my wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and I was in the den. I said to myself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone I ask, " Honey, what's for dinner?" > No response. So I move closer to the kitchen, 30 feet from my wife and repeat, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still, no response. Next, I move into the dining room, 20 feet from my wife and ask, "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Geez" I said to myself, after again, no response. So, I walk up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, there is no response. So I walk right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Doofus!, for the FIFTH time, it's CHICKEN!"

    I guess I meant 'roids. I doubt that R2D2 was around that day, but who knows what Doc was seeing. The story according Snopes is here. http://www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/ellis.asp You'll need to wade through a bit to get to the no-hitter on acid story.

I had nothing to do with that johnman, nothing to do with it getting there in the first place, nothing to do with you not getting it again... apparently once it is clicked, (I heard this from a dude) then you might get the ad or not, depending on one's 'puter settings the history in the computer, or the types of cookies you already got in your rig... 'Puter cookies, that is, not the eating kind, like that. selective process or random... ??? somewhere in your browser you should have a pop up ad blocker. should. maybe. don't ask me, I type with 2 fingers and dont know shit about these things. anyways, there is always that type of hassle lurking in cyber space, might be best to dump the whole post, (and the one with the hippy lions) marye; please. don't want to offend anybody. the perils of using a free image hosting site. i wont post pics again to avoid hassles. peace.

for her birthday: Me And Tiger Lilly Busted out of Barcelona riding on a train Feeling nearly faded as her dress Tiger Lilly ate some paella just before the rain Farted all the way to Fi-guer-es Well I took my old cassette from my dirty sack Playin' slow while Lilly sang the blues Stinky farts keeping time Holding Lilly's spirit in mine We finallly sang near every song that we knew The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly With the kind, grateful folks; rapin' here is fun Lilly shared the secrets of my soul Standing right beside me Lord in everything I done Lilly's spirit kept me from the cold Nowhere never on this Board, I'll let her slip her away Looking for memories I hope we'll find And I'll trade all my straight friends for a single head To be sharing Lilly's spirit, oh so KIND The Board's just another place to think about The Scene The Board can cheer you up -- if you know what I mean The Internet is easy Lord, when there ain't no tour The Board is good enough for me Good enough for me and Tiger Lilly

Was last Saturday? Who knew? I walked unawares into my local independent record store (grateful to be living in a place where such a thing still exists) to pick up the new Neil Young cd and Wilco dvd...and there was actually a crowd milling around the place. I walked out with the above two purchases plus a small fistfull of free sampler cds. I know it's a crippled business model, but the world is a better place with these folks in business. Support your local....

..having the customer service in some US Call.center would mean that they have to pay US wages to the people working there.IF they let that service do by some Chinese(..or russian) company they pay the person 2 maybe 5 bucks a day.makes sense,at least for G.D.P.Johnman,we are in the bad situation to be between 45 and 60 and nobody will give us a job .it is not economical employ an older person in your country if you can pay slavelike salaries to young,university educated people somwhere in India.Same problem here my friend,but that G,D.P.goes the same way is a slap in the face.Peace,Brother

it makes me wonder how can the boys just sit by and let this happened....i read in an interview some years back that jerry said one of the reasons he keeps touring is that alot of people depended on the dead for there livelyhood....you ever notice back in the day how many people were up in the rafters operating the lights...the times are a changing

Dylan's new album "Together Through Life" comes out today. Most of the lyrics are a collaboration of him and Robert Hunter. I just went to Bob Dylan.com but they don't have the lyrics up yet but it says "coming soon". So if anyone gets the album I hope you'll give us a review. There's no record store in my town.

wow was the REAL Robert Hunter told you that? Congratulations. Still ..dude gets a number one album and next thing he thinks he can tell you what vegetables to eat! ;-) Do you like 'em in a salad or in a classic cheese sauce?

yes it is him.might have been pure happenstance that led him to say that, though. my life is now fulfilled. I posted enough useless drivel to get a rise from him. deep inside, i doubt very much Hunter said 'shut up' to too many people... I feel very honoured. "I'd like to thank the academy for this honour...." the new debate there is how to pronounce endive. "en - dive" or "on deeve"? as for my personal cuilinary preference -- need all the roughage I can get -- in a salad for sure. gotta keep regular. cheese simply blocks up the works and produces massive amounts of fluid fetid flatuance. meanwhile, where is Che Guavera? drinking Guava juice on a ski lift in Guadalhara perhaps?
