Happy 50th Anniversary Grateful Dead
Grate . . . news. Great, photo.
Can't remember where it is on this board, but somewhere I explained my theory that no band had more harm to America's GDP than the Grateful Dead, despite selling millions of albums and playing thousands of shows.
Birkenstocks stock benefited

alternate theory: the Dead improved the GDP by providing a collection service for degenerates. these people weren't going to contribute to society anyways, the Dead helped keep them out of the way of those doing something with their lives. i call this the "landfill theory."
in the positive side, the peanut butter and hacky sack industries would be shadows of their current selves without the Dead.

sounds like a pretty lousy theory.

Poppycock.
Which poor performance of one of your twins are you going to excuse because of this "landfill theory" of yours? I need to have a conversation with your missus.

Additionally, it's difficult to quantify the Dead's contribution to medical spending. A 28-day stay in rehab costs more than a year of college tuition.

OK, now we're getting somewhere.

If you're not Amish and have a mustacheless beard, you should be thrown from the earth!

i have no problem with you disagreeing with my theory, but any chance you could back up your point of view with something other than a cuss word from the 1880's?

hopefully neither. but as a stark economic realist, should either one decide that selling grill cheese sammiches in a parking lot is their preferred life pursuit, i will be grateful that institutions such at the Dead are around to keep them off the streets. the landfill theory is neither an excuse nor an explanation for the behavior, just a way of understanding what happens with a certain segment of society.

Nice. I had originally written "Poppycock, Dick." but was afraid you'd think I was actually calling you a dick, which I wasn't. It's the punchline to an old Adam Corolla joke from when he was on LA radio in the early 90's that I had forgotten about, but was then reminded of when a Harry & David package arrived over the holiday included…Poppy Cock.
As for the rest of it, I'm calling Child Protective Services first, and then your wife second. I'm pretty sure I still have her filed away under her maiden name. I'll have to check.
somehow i suspect that you keep all young ladies filed under their maiden names, forever. including the one you're about to un-maiden.
Talk about the dead, or shut up.
I'm sorry I said that. Yada, makes me crazy.
