Awards and Honors, Not Entirely Serious

Forums

TigerLilly suggested this one after GypsySoul thought she deserved an Iron Bladder Award, or some such, for superhuman endurance as reported in the Bathroom Break topic. So nominate your pals for silly awards here. Silly but kind awards...

Wow I'm blushing :)

Two awards for me!Weeeeeeee! Thanks so much Stu, sorry I missed you, But glad you enjoyed your meal!! TL...my new shoes are awesome can't wait to break them in.. tour 09 here I come! Peace,Gigi

Mr. Good Vibes Award

to pkpotter for always bringing light to the site and smiles to our faces with his affirming posts. Thank you pk. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Hear Hear SUPERHAL

2nd that award for lovely peaceful PK, and wanna add MarkintheDark for a good vibes award, if I may. His posts been amusing me for a while now.********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

blush

*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. Happy Holidays afterglow, all. ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I second that emotion, Hal & Tigerlil, both

of these guys have cracked me up and made this a much better space this year! Thanks much gents, and here's to next year!! The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

Ringing Fanny award

To Techgurl. For getting drunk and flushing her new cellphone down the toilet. Or so she suspects. Just imagine her trying to find her phone, by calling it from elsewhere, right when somebody doin' their biznis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

You go girl!!

Nick my son did the same thing haahahaha!It really does suck though! Hope you get a new one soon!! Peace,Gigi

Imagine that sewer-gator's surprise...

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. That brings back memories.... ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

Under these circumstances

that you described, Mark, think "going down the road feeling bad" might be kinda á propos for that cell phone ring!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

Well, I am truly honored....

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 think the whole darn

bunch of ya here deserve an award just for being kind and thoughtful.........tiger gathering the chatfolk to cheer me up recently brought tears to my eyes.....(chatfolk? where do i come up with this shit?)..hopefully things will break for me this year (and soon, i hope....before i lose my home). either way i want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for thoughts and encouragement. .......i remain, eternally yours........johnman

Spirit of the Dead

Wanna give the highest award of deadhead kindness to Freeworld! For my miracle airplane ticket to the Shoreline show. And to Mona for having a ticket for me, the same night. Jerry smiling down on both of you. Am quite sure! ********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

The Mighty Finn award goes to

Our new friend Morokolli, who said he never got an award before. Think could be our very first Finn here, so he deserves an award anyhow, just for that! ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

I will second that tigerlily!Good vibes bouncing around all over the place!! ;))

AWARDS 2 THE HARD CORE 4

Id like to give a huge #1 Trophy award to THE HARD CORE 4!!!!And of course all the DEADHEADS for making this possible!!! GOOD VIBES

Bareback Award

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."

hippiehurray!!

thats a fine award to bestow upon such a positive force! southern tam, git on yer pony and ride!! maybe i'll check out that forum again.

Thank You

I finally got it. I say yeeeee-hawwww! I wish mom and dad could see this.

Here ye - Here yeI hereby

Here ye - Here ye I hereby propose to nominate HalR the highly coveted " keeper of the vibe" award. He shall be knighted tonight at midnight, upon the wink from our esteemed knight sir Oroboros, and shal recieve the goblet of good vibes, at which time he will proceed to drink the entire pint of ale, and shall never empty the goblet as - the glass is always half full - and shall remain so during his tenure as "Keeper of the vibe" Congratulations Hal, thank you on behalf of the community, and shall you always drink from a full glass. peace,and good vibes to all. pk

I second that emotion.

Especially that "half full glass" thing. Cheers! MarkintheDark ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

Hear hear PK!

Don't forget SUPERHAL, able to squash bigots with a few keystrokes. (that title goes back a ways) "SUPERHAL, The Keeper of the Vibe" has a grate ring to it, don't ya think? ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

Hear, hear

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.

Let us all raise our goblet

Let us all raise our goblet to the new era!

Espresso in a mug will work, right?

Trying to dose myself up good for an all-night burn-a-thon, so I will be toasting with a quadruple shot Arabian Mocha Sanani espresso. Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Cheerz, MarkintheDark (typedthisinonlyfifteensecondsespressokicksasszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

award for the 'powers that be'

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)

BOB DYLAN

FOR PLAYING WITH THE DEAD IN ROTHBURY!!!!Wouldn't mind givin Dylan some more awards a little earlier in the summer as well!! I need to see more Dylan!! Peace-

for johnman

Special award goes to “Doctor” Johnman for outstanding services to the suffering, sad and needy in the chatroom last night. You were a shining light in there man! When things got really tricky and I and others could think of nothing to say, you came through with calm, strength and humour.

Big Ole

Cake of Kindness for Johnman! Well said CB, and very much deserved award!!!!!!!!!!!!********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

The Morale boosting award

Awards are I think deserved by some of the folks associated with this site. Most of them have been given a pretty hard time at various points these last months, but they are all doing a lot right now to restore morale. So thanks to (in no particular order) Marye for heroic efforts redesigning the Vines (with additional awards to Oroboros and others who helped make this happen) Izzie for resurrecting the 'Today in Grateful Dead History' feature after dealing with all that wildfire trauma Blair Jackson for initiating some welcome 2-way communication and helping to break down some of the prevalent conspiracy theories (this is of course not good for us satirists, so we retain the right to invent some new conspiracy theories) David Gans for speaking up and for GDH and Sirius:clearly making many folks very happy. David Lemieux for all he has done and is doing in the Vault and for suffering in silence! Don't know if they have started putting something in the water over there, but whatever the case you are all worthy winners! As for Rhino records, well the stubborn pachyderm is definitely trundling in the right direction and they may have now squeezed onto the awards short list for positive signs of recovery from chronic 'Silent Rhino Syndrome' , for Road Trips and for making some very encouraging assurances. Maybe next time round ;-) . I'm still not sure if rhinos respond better to carrots or sticks though!
