Mac, PC or homemade? "Nostalgia" or "memories" or "high times"? War lovers and gun nuts? Hey, is everyone using a different Forum to me? Am i being refused access to the next level? Do i need to get some funny handshake action going on? There's a parallel site where the Topics are governed by lizards, isn't there? Hey, let me in guys and gals! Don't shut me ou... oh, hang on, "yep, that's two Big Mac's and large fries, thanks man". "And yeah! i'll go Supersize!". Sorry 'bout that; where was i? oh, yeah...heyyyyyy, fooled ya there, didn't i?!!! 'course i don't eat at McDonalds!; i grow everything i eat, build my own solar panels, live in a cave and pray three times a day, totally uncontaminated by any them damn corporate clowns. Europe '72 box soon guys!! "We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Ooozzzzzzzzzz..." If ya can't start the weekend with a joke, what can ya start it with? Or is that toke? Smoke.

    More closet conservatives who are deadheads...
    Why doesn't it surprise me at all that hippies, tree-huggers, etc, are being blasted on other Dead and Furthur sites? On this site there is a fair proportion of flag-wavers (not THAT flag) and war lovers and gun nuts. Deadheads are ALL over the spectrum. This site isn't a community of dead-lovers, it's mostly a lot of "holier-than-thou" Deadheads with opinions and snobbery attached to a commerciat site managed by Rhino. Maybe Hannity knows what all good marketers know -- you can manipulate people really well with feel-good nostalgia. (Aw c'mon, deep down inside in places you don't like to admit being you NEED the $450 music only edition of E72) ~ I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" ~
