    I accept that award, thank you very much. I couldn't get my brain around why folks were upset that Gans had edited the word Fuck out of his post! My choices were to give them many many fucks to contend with, or perhaps to start editing their posts for them, to include Fuck. this fuck provided by: izzie

    Indeed, the terms ‘feckin’’, ‘fecked’ and ‘fecker’ are all in use and can be used as an alternative to that other word, except there is not really a sexual connotation. The terms are quite commonly heard in Ireland and as they are a degree less offensive than the word with the ‘u’ instead of the ‘e’ For a real education in the use of feck, try to see the wonderful comedy show ‘Father Ted’, featuring three bizarre Irish priests ministering to the population of the remote Craggy Island. It showed in Channel 4 in the UK and I start laughing just thinking about it...the network seemed unconcerned about the amount of feckin' in the show.... but I do not know if it was exported Any Irish correspondents out there to provide further illumination? sorry for the diversion from the awards ....but hey..what the feck!

    thus "feck" is a good suggestion, cosmicbadger. Can it be used JUST like the other word, ie:fecking, etc?

    use of the F word
    to help Tigerlilly in her dilemma I can reveal the following The owners of this website have assumed complete control over the f word (and its derivatives) on this site and for unexplained and frankly suspicious reasons have delegated its exclusive use to izzie They are however amenable to non commercial trading, so if you are desperate to use the naughty expletive you have to persuade izzie to leave it out of one of her posts! Fortunately the lawyers who designed this arrangement inadvertently overlooked the popular Irish term 'Feck' which is entirely free for use whenever and wherever you like, and, according to Wikipedia ' is syntactically interchangeable with fuck, though it has no sexual connotations' oooops PS

    I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks again and just want you to know that I'm working on a new one that I hope will be as good with more common and interchangeable items.

*giggle**blush more* Good vibes is not something I've ever been accused of; TigerLily is easily amused, therefore I'm movin' to France. Thanks doll. I'm voting with Hal on PK too, PK is almost too nice to be a human. Nice potter, as well - they're more sculpture than pottery.

Down there in that nice warm sewer there's an alligator getting ready to pounce on a juicy rat, when suddenly: a cell phone rings! Hahahahha! Wonder what her ring tone is? Suddenly: a cell phone rings "Friend of the Devil"! hahahahahahaha! Ah, sewers.

But those vibes are a reflection of the magnificent spirit of love and family this little magical band from San Francisco has planted on this big blue marble. That spirit shines through the folks here like the golden rays of the sun on a beautiful day at a grateful dead concert in the park.I think the The Golden Spirit Award goes to the many here that make this place a home. In no particular order, Hal, for his wise words, Oroboros, for his teachings and stories, Markinthedark for his sense of humour and his kind investigative work, TigerLily for her beautiful spirit shinging across the grate pond, Gigi, for her the happiness and love she showers over us all, grdaed73 for the life of the party atmosphere he shares here, nobody loves a party, iknowyourider, for the color she brings to the world through her words, Marshun, for the sunflowers, Freeidea, for his beautiful poems, Trevor, for his nice hippy ways, Mr pid for his intellectual spirit, Techgirl for her virtual smile and erickat, Lopezz, sunshinedaydream, ltapilot, birdsong, Tommo, and the many viners for the wonderful seeds they have planted in the garden here at deadnet, and many more. And Marye, for pulling it all together, with a smile, and a little help from jonathon. Thanks for making this world a better place. An honor to share it with you. peace, hope, and dreams, pk

I'd like to give the Bareback Award to Southern Tam for her "unbridled" enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. If you don't know what I am talking about, check out the Dead To Tour topic. She almost singlehandedly negated all of the negative vibes. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

As the singular Oroboros, I hereby recognize Hal (super & regular alike) as our 'Keeper of the Vibe'. All in his presence have noticed his glow and feel this vibe passed on to us all. Hal enriches our tribe with his wise words, kind advice, and gentle wit. Hail, hail, and cheers to Hal and us all, as we raise our pints to one who adds so much to our dance, warms our hearts, and encourages each on the path. "Believe it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on...." The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

After nearly two years of regularly giving them a hard time I think its about time I nominated the mysterious 'powers that be' for an award. The long promised 'tidal wave' of releases has now really arrived (entire '77 and '68 shows in the last month!), the adoption of the Pure Jerry catalogue is a stroke of genius, the addition of the new search and filter tools on the site is a great improvement, the continued tolerance of the vineyard is most welcome and the advance coverage of the Dead tour has been very imaginative. The only flies in the ointment are the bizarre postage charges for store orders outside the US, but I hope that this award will encourage them to sort that one once and for all. So step up 'Powers That Be' to receive your deserved award (you can wear disguises if you want to continue to be mysterious)
