dead.net the official site

that's REALLY weird. I have no idea. But the comment is restored.

"That's just because you think they make you look sexy" "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

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

those ever popular Tiger Lilly Pulitzer Sweat Pants - Que Fi fi!!! "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

a nice lyrical compositon and TL should be proud...enjoyed it stay safe and feel good! >><<<< :>

great work eoJCC. Kross Kristifferson will be proud of you! btw had a brief PM from TL yesterday (about vining issues). She's still out there...just

Oh Joe-have not been so touched in a LONG time! Is one of my all-time fave songs (Janice version) and have been wallowing in her brilliant Pearl album lately, as a matter of fact. She can express bewildered pain, while wanting to be happy and fine, like nobody else out there, I think. You rock Joe, as does this forum, as do all our friends here!!!!! Kind and clever and funny and compassionate-is special. Know this even more now. Had an electronic "missadventure" with a MSN messenger address that I pasted wrong, thought was my sister; which turned out to be some pervert in Perth. Was writing to my "sister" last Sunday, wondering why she was so monosyllabic, when out of nowhere were foul and disgusting images on my screen. I said "Sabrina, what the hell are you doing?" to which came back "I am not Sabrina, I am Steve in Perth, do you know where that is?" I freaked out and blocked him. Point of the anecdote, there are some scary freaks out there that we can stumble across, but here is safe. Joe-as an expression of my appreciation, if you send me an e mail address in a p.m., I will send you an attachment that is a parody of a Zappa song that I wrote a couple of years ago. Is about Bush, and am rather proud of it, if I do say so myself. :-) But enough about that, before I start to sound too much like .......

some of the cool kids in class are here now: Who's online There are currently 6 users and 58 guests online. Online users cosmicbadger eojCC Deadicated TigerLilly yamadog Sunshine-daydre... by the by, folks, what might help the posts from vanishing is to 'preview comment' them first, then post it. that works for me.

damn! was long, which I would have realized had I previewed, as has been suggested. Was just kinda' swept away!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

thanks, TL. be careful out there.

and there was my old lady worried you'd be offended by the paella farting thang. personally, I will break my arm patting myself on the back about the faded 'dress' and 'Figueres' rhyme. love and peace.

Hey everyone. been away for a while on a whatcha macalit the thing writers go on when they write. anyway the site was blocked by my parent's spy programs or it was my school's. so what did I miss? anything important?

kid, if you only knew... if you only knew what you have been missing. please read back, and you will catch up. We will have a test on Thursday to make sure you have done your reviewing properly. peace.

Are not so delicate as to be offended by such things as bodily functions, but sweet of your wife to be concerned. I am used to much worse from friends-so NO PROBLEMO!!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

so glad that eoJJoe was able to tempt you out of your sad place with his flatulent ode! I'm off to Turkmnistan tomorrow early for 2 weeks work on an environmental project...no idea what to expect..its a very mysterious place spanning the northern borders of Afghanistan and Iran (!) , but they have just started allowing the internet there so will try to send a bulletin. Of course I will be taking plenty of GOGD on the iPod (Just got a tasty copy of 5/16/72 Luxembourg).

safe travels, badger, when you travel to Whereverthefuckitisistan. peace.

Thanks, Izzie and Marye for all of your amazing work in this forum! I'm really not sure where to post this question, so here goes: Izzie, or anybody, do you know of any plans in the Dead organization to change the way Grateful Dead apparel and other products are made? Everything I look at seems to be made in China. I wanted to buy a Grateful Dead shirt the other day, but could not justify it… does anyone else find it odd that official Grateful Dead products seem to be made with no concern for social impact? I can invest in socially responsible mutual funds, but I can’t buy a Fair-Trade, sustainably produced T-Shirt from my favorite band? I'd love to hear what others think... Chris

lilly, I thought gypsy soul was just making sure the message got through my thick head! ( -:

it seemed like my post wasn't going thru right, so natch i just kept hittin' ENTER!!!! hey, it was monday after all!!! claney, i haven't looked lately, but are the LIQUID BLUE brand shirts made in china too???? you have a good and valid point and i'm glad you brought it to my attention. liquid blue do some nice shirts, but i never checked to see where they are made. haven't bought one in many years, since i do my own dyeing. nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

a test eh, Joe? Thank you you have made lucky number seven. I have seven tests on thursday. The cosmos are against me on thursdays. oh well. (sigh) :P

yes, and on this test all answers must be submitted in the form of a question.

New name eh CC? Very nice.

old name, kid. I got plenty of them, more aliases and appellations than I can remember. aka (also known as) is my middle name. just for fun, click on my profile and check out my 'full name' peace.

If you think CCj is Latino you oughta see his wife's name! "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

At least he seems to be on the way to recovery, better that the inverted backwards eoJCCthat we were dealing with. Or that he was dealing with. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

thanks, Hal, getting better, but still not quite myself. ( -; things should improve once I get to the tropics next month. deadicated, if you remember my old lady's name, please tell me. I totally spaced on it many years back, lucky she hasn't noticed I have forgotten, and answers to 'yo, dude' yuk yuk yuk peace.

200g moong dal or red lentils1/4 teaspoon tumeric salt 900ml water 1 tsp cumin seeds 2-inch chunk of ginger, grated 1-2 green chillies, chopped (seeded if you prefer) 1-2 BIG handfuls chopped coriander/cilantro 3 tablespoons ghee/oil ****************** *Boil lentils with tumeric and salt. I find that for an authentic Indian flavour, some salt is essential, although I rarely use the huge amounts I find in recipe books. 1 tsp is about right for this. No salt is OK and quite edible but kind of bland. *Briskly whisk lentils when cooked so it all becomes a porridge. Alternatively, you could try whiskly brisking them. *Heat oil over mdeium high flame/heat. *When oil is sufficiently hot, fry cumin seeds for about 10 seconds. Then throw in the ginger and chillies; fry for another 30 seconds. *Enjoy the smells! *Fold the whole lot into the lentils and gently mix. *Throw in the coriander. *Serve *Eat ******** I often add chopped spuds or eggplant to make a heftier meal. I love eating out in Indian joints, but find the dal is ridiculously over-priced and too often too greasy and salty. Much more betterer to make it at home.

Gypsy Soul Twenty 7, Xmas eve, with the full moon over town Gypsy Soul sang to Oroboros while wearing a big frown Do ya know she sang to him what do you make of that 'Cause Oroboros is a slick guy who ain't even a bit fat Oh joe, oh joe, tell me where is the bowl You ate all the cereal that was bought for Gypsy Soul Gypsy Soul is a mad woman, don't wanna eat no bread Joe go buy more Trix, and fill up the bowl deadicated, deadicated oh sweet deadicated D How the hell can I stop him, when he's twice as fat as me Well don't ask me Trix Are For Kids, I don't feel so fine Not only that, another thing, I GOT NO LYME Oh joe, deadic said, just give me one You ate all her cereal now she's gonna see you hung He waded to the market through Count Chocula's blood Stepped up to Gypsy Soul in the aisle, said give me a bowl full, love As Gypsy Soul lit a cigarette, she made some calls Blew the smoke in his face, dragged him out by the balls Oh joe, oh joe, we'll see you hang high You ate all my cer-e-al and now I've got to DYE She went a-walking down on Shakedown Street Three piece band on the corner played G - R - T - U - D But we ate some different cereal, what cereal could it be The cereal that woman ate was bought by Tiger Lilly The cereal that woman ate was bought by Tiger Lilly ( -; ** * * * * * 'dude, do the words quit while you are ahead mean anything to you' mutters cc joe's old lady

save some Sugar Pops for me...

maybe people know gypsysoul makes tie dyes, hence the reference to I've got to dye. but perhaps few people know one of her fav movies is Goodfellas, and she especially loves the line Jimmy Conway (Bobby DeNiro) said, 'I got no lyme!' maye and izzie, please substitute your names in the last 2 lines for your private versions and for the folks who were not mentioned, sorry, but do you realize how hard it is to rhyme something with 'cosmic badger' or 'hal R' ?? ' mom ' 'iknowurider' etc. etc. ( -;

As long as you continue blessing us with your wordy nuggets we won't take offense.

thanks.I think I was pushing the envelope a bit with gypsysoul's song... tough one to get everything to fit, not really 'just exactly perfect' a few beers later, it seemed OK ( -; the other thing, was, I think all of the folks mentioned in gypsysoul's song (except for tiger lilly) were all active participants in the wild, wild west days of the original dead.net forum; so we have all been together and through quite a bit back in those days... (not mentioning any specifics, though!!) ( -;

CCj i love your poems :)

... how about, "Dark Hal R"? "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

Where the Sun don't shine....

after this one - You can badger last dollah, ... "From day to day, just lettin' it ride, You get so far away from how it feels inside, You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

as I have numerous long, unpleasant plane rides coming up... I might just work on that Dark HalR but HEY! I'm sorry, BUT it is YOUR idea, amigo. I challenge you to do it! Lo siento, pero... ¡Que tengas suerte!

Dark Hal R Hal R mashes Burning peels into ashes Tots of 'taters Chives and sour creme but it misses Butter lasting Melts into crevices of illusion Shall we try, you and I, potatoes from a can?
