			Sh*t Happens

    saw this this weeknd

                        This truck protected by a pitbull with aids
    
    I STILL don't know if that's funny or not?

	I saw this one on the way home yesterday:


			SH*T CHANGES!


	I kind of like this one, because it implies that if you don't
	like it, change it!

    I like the one on a friends car, it says:
    
    Lobotomies for Republicans/ Its the Law !

I saw the following bumper sticker on a late model Chevy Blazer.  The words

I saw a GREAT bumper sticker in Franconia, NH about 3 weeks ago:


	"KILL THE TELEVISION"

Sure made my day since TV ain't on my top 40.

    
    
        Yeah, i like that one too!!   TV (with *minor* exceptions) is for
        people with labotomies!  If you're willing to let other people
        choose your entertainment for you and shape your views about the
        the way life *really* is (how is it anyway?) then you may as well
        just punt!
    
        Especially with these goddam clickers these days!!  Talk about
        couch potato mush mind society!!  People literally don't move or
        talk to other people, or remember that there ever was anything else
        to do before television ....
    
            pheeewwwww!  I feel better now, thank you!
    
    

    Kill your television ?!?!?   Time for a rebuttal ...
    
    Television has it's proper place in society.  Why if it weren't for TV,
    many of us would never get to watch a Celtics game.  Now, while most of
    you probably would shrug and say "big deal", for some of us it is a big
    deal.  Personally I get as much of a blast out of watching the game
    played by professionals as I do out of attempting to do it myself. 
    And YOU try getting Celtics tickets these days ... ;^) ;^)
    
    As to letting somebody else choose your entertainment for you ... well
    you always have control over what you watch, and when you watch it.  So
    I can't see the validity of that argument.  Same goes for the remote. 
    If it bothers you, let it sit there.  It won't get up and start
    switching channels all by itself.
    
    I agree that some (most) TV programming is mindless brain rot.  But
    you don't have to watch that stuff.  There is also plenty of quality
    programming to choose from for those who are so inclined, not to 
    mention news and weather information and educational programming. (I
    still prefer to watch Celtics games though) ... ;^)
    
    One can argue that TV presents a warped sense of reality, but that
    doesn't mean you have to accept it as such.  That's YOUR choice ... if
    you think the media is trying to shape your views, then YOU can make the
    choice not to take them seriously and there ain't a damn thing they can
    do about it.  So they're not controlling you unless you choose to let
    them do it.
    
    It's a nice slogan and all, but the concept of "killing your
    television" is basically the same as burning books.  You don't agree
    with the content so you destroy it so nobody else has the option.
    Sorry, I don't agree.  There's plenty on TV that's beneficial, even for
    those of us without lobotomies ... ;^)
    
    						... Bob
    
    PS - I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotamy.

Yeah, besides, PBS, A&E, Discovery, and Nick at Nite are quite respectable, in
my opinion.  Even Nick at Nite's self-promoting commercials are a riot!

I agree that most mainstream TV is brain rot, just like most mainstream radio
is ear rot.  Ya just gotta poke around...

Just Say Know.

Sounds like a Dead show!

 PLus every once in a while you need some brain rot program,
if only to get away from it all.

;-)

I enjoy a bunch of stuff on TV, particularly nature related programming
and cooking shows, music stuff.  Most of the other is ridiculous BS, but 
they all come equipped with a channel selector and an on/off switch.

I do respect people who can discipline themselves and not watch the thing or
don't even own one.

I can do without it, but there are times I really do enjoy it.





Jim

    How would we watch Dead videos if we didn't have a tv? :-)  
    So Far is one of my favorites.

     I disagree. The slogan refers to killing your own TV, not everyone elses.

    why does it not surprise me that Ger doesn't own a TV? Besides the
    fact that he doesn't have time to watch one anyway (ALWAYS at a
    show), he prob can't afford one! (always spending money on shows).
                                                                      %^)

Well, I'm one who does not really like the TV that much.  However, I do agree
that there is a lot of decent stuff on the tube that will suck you in just like
a vacuum sucks up dust.  

That is the problem I have w/ TV.  I see people who get sucked into the tube
spending many hours watching, and, doing what appear to me as NOTHING ... all 
of those commercials that are on the tube must have a brainwashing effect 
after a while.

I figure that time is a very precious resource that is going to run out 
eventually.  Rather than sit in front of the tube doing nothing, why not
do something else that is more useful to you or society?  I suppose it is 
a matter of priorities.  TV is not a very intellectual thing, IMO, which
seems to be the biggest problem I have w/ it.

This is the JC outlook on the TV; may or may not jive with your prerogative.
I really get annoyed when I have friends over that want to watch TV...

	JC

    Don't read books - you'll be brainwashed into thinking just what the
    author wants you to!
    
    TV is worth having if only to watch The Simpsons.  Despite the hype,
    the series has gotten better and better, and it's the only thing on
    that I would stay home for.  Tonight's episode is a repeat of "Itchy &
    Scratchy & Marge," about cartoon violence and what happens when Marge
    tries to restrict it.  A real dig at the woman from Minnesota(?) who
    started a campaign against Married With Children by complaining to the
    show's sponsors.  If you haven't given the show a chance, watch it
    tonight.  But don't blame me if you're brainwashed into buying pounds
    and pounds of Krusty Pork Products!!
    
    Jamie

    
    
      yeah, yeah, yeah....
    
      Seems to me that if I spent $50. /month to get any of these programs
      worth watching, I may have a better feeling about the boob toob.
    
      I won't deny that there are some things worth watching - its more
      the addictive `suck you up like a vacuum sucks dust'(I like that
      one!) that gets me. 
    
      A bunch of friends went in on a skihouse this winter - the owner
      left us everything *but* the TV.  I was wayyyy psyched, but a
      couple others were just appauled (sp?) that they may have to find 
      something else to do after skiing!  `What else is there?'
    
      Over the season its worked out really well ... now everyu saturday
      night is `jam night'!  Originally, 4 of 9 people were musicly
      inclined; since they have no tube to resort to, now *everybody*
      is getting into the jams either vocally, electricly, acousticly,
      maroccaly (?), etc...  There are even 2 other houses which come
      over often to join in.....  Do I attribute this all to the lack
      of a tv set????   Sounds like it, doesn't it?  No, course not,
      but it sure helped.  But at least we've answered the question
      for some people of `what else is there?'

>something else to do after skiing!  `What else is there?'
    
    I've never been skiing on an overnight trip, although if Florida
    doesn't start taking recycling more seriously, we may be able to ski on
    'Mt. Trashmore' in a few years.  So, naturally, I have all sorts of
    fantasies to answer this question which, at least according to John
    Ryan's notes earlier, are all still illegal.
    
    I guess I'm just gonna hafta a.) lobby for legalization, b.) find an
    excuse to go north during the winter, and c.) leave the TV at home!:-)
    
    tim
    

    >> something else to do after skiing!
    
    Well, I ski almost every week-end.  And after a day of flinging myself
    off of any obstacle that gets in my way, and terrorizing the local
    woodland creatures (I like to ski in the woods, 'cause that's where all
    the powder is), I'm generally too tired to do much besides go back to
    the house, pop in a tape, consume some oat bran, and get mellow.
    
    We don't have a TV at our ski house either.  But sometimes I wish we
    did, along with a VCR, so I could sit there and watch videos of people
    who really know how to ski.  It's always a fun way to spend the evening
    after abusing your body all day on the slopes.
    
    ... Bob

    We definately need to ski together...    

    Only other thing I would need is a frosty Molson!


    Scott

That is exactly the problem I have with the tube.  My roommates would gather
around the 13" B/W, smoke cigarettes, and watch what I thought was content-free
trash (General Hospital)...

ANYDAY, I'd rather sit around, crank up some tunes, open a few brews, consume
oat bran and play a couple of games... there is not interaction with the TV.

Everyone has thier own form of relaxation and entertainment, like it or not.

Equating a person who watches the tube with a person who has had a lobotomy
is a pretty mindless generalization, IMO.

Lisa

PS. I like lots of stuff on the Discovery channel and A&E to learn something
by and use as a foundation reference for when I do more research at the library
(imagine that, a television set sparking my intellect and sending me to the
library?) ... and I also enjoy some of the mindless network stuff to lay down
on the couch in front of, cuddle up in my Mexican blanket and snooze after a
rough day at work.  :-)

    whats this got to do with bumper stickers ? well anyway, I was watching
    that tv thing I got in the living room flipping through channels with
    the remote :') and came across something that looked kinda like I'd
    been there before (Ooooooooo) its was someones home movie of
    Westborough's 250 anniversary (1967) and what do I see ? ME ! yup ME !
    I was only 6 yrs old , now that wasn't mindless tv trash ! well maybe
    it was :')

    yes it did freak me out a bit and Julie could not believe it was me,
    until she saw my Mom and Dad, also I had a tear in my eye when I saw my
    Nana (who passed away not long ago)
    
    things where so different in 1967, hair styles and cloths (big bell 
    bottoms)
    
    
    	Chris

    I've learned a lot of good information watching public/educational
    television.  Especially the PBS series "Joseph Campbell and the Power of
    Myth". That kinda changed my life like the way I view my life and
    others.
    
    And I liked to say "hear hear!!" to frosty Molsens, oat bran and
    especially The Simpsons!!  I wear Simpsons slipper socks daily around
    the house.  There's a restaurant/pub in Pawtucket, RI that serves
    frosty Molsens on tap in this huge-mongous glass!! MMmmmmmmm!!!
    
    Last night's Simpson show is one of my favorites. In fact, I tried to
    play Ichy and Scratchy with my wife last night but she wasn't into it. 
    She said she had enough Ichy and Scratchy (she had an allergic-reaction
    type rash all over her body last week.).  Oh well.
    
    dave

    Wow that's wild Chris!!!! :^)
    Aside from the Three Stooges, the Simpson's, Celtic's games,
    PBS, A&E, and especially simulcasts, as well as a few others
    I hate TV ;^)

    Oh no!  Another car has my "hallucinations" bumper sticker.  Mine is
    really old, peeling and cracked.  I gotta pul it off sooner or later. 
    I've had it on the car for over 6 years!  Guess it's time for a rear
    end dead sticker to replace it.  I got a window one now.

=#= So there I was, trapped in one of those newfangled
automobiles in San Francisco's own newfangled automobile
Hell (a.k.a. Route 101), along with billions of fellow
cheap petroleum enthusiasts.  And I noticed an elaborate
bumper sticker right on the newfangled bumper in front
of me.

=#= A gem, it was, one of those lovingly-crafted odes to
patriotism that sold so well last January and February
(thanks mostly to the huge marketing campaign on the
nightly news).  It said, of course, "Support Operation
Desert Storm."  And it had an American Flag on it.  It
also (presumbly for good measure) said, "These Colors
Don't Run."

=#= Except that they had.  The flag itself was washed
out, and the bumper sticker (and bumper) was festooned
with blotches of red and blue dye.

Seen on beautiful rte 495 this morning ...

	"Mink furs don't trickle down"

Driving down the Garden State Pkwy over Memorial Day Weekend.
Got behind a (american) van.

The van had the following on the back...

A "I support the Gulf War blah, blah, blah..." bumper sticker.
A licence plate in the left rear window that read:
  "Unemployed?  Hungry?  Then eat your Japanese car!"
Another licence plate in the left rear window, just below the 1st one:
  "I'd rather be riding my Honda!"  (had a picture of a guy on a bike).

I kid you not!

I felt like stopping the guy and asking him if he realized that Honda motorcycles
were made in Japan?

What an a**hole...

Dave

    Unless he has a Goldwing - they're made in Ohio I believe.
    
    Anyone been watching the "Made In America" series on PBS? The country
    of origin label really doesn't mean much these days.  But as one guy
    from Boeing pointed out, the important part is that the final assembly
    is done in the US.
    
    Even my good old All-American (TM) Harley has some foreign parts.
    
    Scott
    

    re: TLE::Weiss and Honda motorcycles
    
    As Scott Abbot pointed out, Hondabagos (Gold Wings) are made in
    'merica.  Honda also makes their very popular Honda Shadow in 'merica
    now.  Not sure if they make anything else in the Marysville plant
    or not.  Note well -- these bikes are made in 'merica and exported
    *TO* Japan.

> imported vs. american

Whoops, I guess I wasn't clear.  Thank god for these asbestos undies... :-)

We've been through this before, that it is very unclear exactly what is an
imported cars vs. what is an american car.  Maybe it is unfair of me, but I
usually assume when I see anti-imported-vehicular-propaganda (tm), that the
person who pastes it on their car assumes "American company ===== American car!
Foriegn company =====- Foriegn car!"

So, given that assumption...What I saw on the van was

Buy from an American car company, dammit!
Japanese bikes are great, dammit!

So does Honda make anything in Japan anymore?
(rhetorical question!) :-)

Dave

    I wasn't tring to flame ya, Dave.  Heck...never flame a Dave in a 
    conference full-o-dave's! ;-)  It just seemed that ya didn't know
    that some H*nda's are made in 'merica.
    
    I'll admit, though, that I get very very touchy about motorcycle brand
    wars, particularly the 'merican iron versus rice burner wars.  I think
    this is simply because I don't get it...I love all of 'em.  Also, 
    motorcyclists have enuf enemies in local/state/federal government and
    other "do goodie" organizations that it seems *stoopid* fer
    motorcyclists to be "fighting" amongst themselves.  But I digress.
    
    For what it is worth, Dave, I have seen several instances of Harley
    stickers in the back windows of Japanese trucks/cars.  I get somewhat
    the same reaction from this as you did from the H*onda sticker on the
    'merican cage.  Kind of a "you missed the point, didn't ya?" feeling.
    
    Ah, sh*t, my next bike's gonna be British!  (The one after that will
    be Italian, Dave Levy!  You still riding a Guzzi?)
    
    tms

    Yeah, I do see your point - seems like there is a conflict of interest
    especially if one is posing as someone who is against buying Japanese
    cars.
    
    Hey tms - don't forget Germany (BMW), Sweden (dirt bikes) and Russia
    (Dnepr - copy of WWII era BMWs complete with the sidecar that will
    leave Col Klink behind while Schultz roars off).
    
    Now back to our regular digression.
    
    Speaking of Russia - I was reading yesterday how their currency is so
    screwed up, the ruble is nearly worthless in Russia, even more
    worthless in the international markets, yet their salaries are almost
    the same as they were prior to the breakup.  As an example it costs
    half a days wages to send an airmail letter.
    
    Scott
    

    So the final asembly for Honda bikes is done in America,..
    
    Where is the engine built?
    
    							/looking_for_trouble

    i don't know where they build the honda bike engines.  i suspect that
    they do all assembly here in 'merica, but that the parts all come from
    riceland.  dunno.
    
    tms

    So far it still looks like all systems are go for veneta (ie no
    appeal yet). Rumor is no mail order - local Oregon outlets only.
    I'm bummin' cuz I'll be in the PN but will have to miss the shows.
    Too bad they're not a day earlier (of course the dates will probably
    change after I book my flight to Seattle today :-/ ).

    I got one of these at the Shoreline shows last weekend, and don't think
    I've seen it here yet.

Should we make one for the Fog-mobile (tm)...

Fog Vehicle - Do Not Follow!

not a bumper sticker, although perhaps it should be.

It was a 30 second propaganda/public service commercial I saw.  It showed
trees being cut down and you could hear them cracking from the fall.  Then
it said, "Trees should be seen and not heard".

    no fair picking on Mikey when he's on vacation and can't defend
    himself!

I saw a funny sorta gross one yesturday in Lincoln, NH:

	"If you follow me too closely,
	I'll flick a booger on your windshield"

    
    	giggle giggle

    Not bumpa' stickas but recently applied for personal plates for the 
    two wheeler:
    
    
    			ICE 9
    
    			DED HD 1
    
    
    Also thought of a good bumper sticker.  WATCH IT!!! I KNOW GOD!
    
    Oso

    Ok, Deadheads, that reminds me of a trivia question for ya'll:
    
    Anybody out there know what Ice 9 is (and not just the name of the
    music publishing company for Garcia/Hunter)?  Where's it come from?
    
    tim
    

Ice-9 is water with a wierd isotope that is solid at reg temps,
and crystalizes to make the world one large skating rink.

From a Vonnegut novel,  don't remember which one...

/bruce

There are eight described molucular configuraetions for frozen water. Ice-9 is 
the fictional ninth configuration that was the central theme in a Kurt Vonnugut
Jr. novel (forget which one).

The publishing company that owns the rights to all the Dead's originals is Ice 
Nine Pub. Co.

    America, where political criminals are pardoned and mariwanna smokers
    get 5 years 

    "Cat's Cradle."  And what was the title of the book the central 
    character was researching?  :^)  A rhetorical question . . . just
    wanted to show the GD connection and distance myself from Geraldo.
    
    Jamie

    Jonah, the main character in Cat's Cradle, was researching a book to be
    called "The Day The World Ended." 
    
    Now that is trivia:-)

    I had a feeling there'd be a rush for that one.
    
    I think it was Breakfast of Champions, but it's been a long time.  I
    know it isn't Slaughterhouse Five.  I read a whole bunch of his stuff
    back in the mid-70's, which for the usual reasons like age, sex,
    drugs and other distractions, is pretty much a blur these daze...;-)

    It seemed to come out about the time that real science was recovering
    from the so-called "Polywater" hoax - there was actually a scientific
    theory that water under extremes of temperature and pressure would
    polymerize into a liquid that had very non-water attributes, like, say,
    flowing uphill.;-)  They even thought they had artificially produced
    some of the stuff in the lab.  Turned out to be totally wrong.  Sort of
    like the cold fusion theory of late.  That was in the late 60's.
    
    From what I recall, one of Vonnegut's premises for the 9th
    configuration was that it was a polymer which, when it came into
    contact with other molecular configurations of H2O, would cause those
    molecules to 'join' the polymer, converting all water into unusable
    Ice-9, i.e., spread across the globe, take over the world, if you will.
    The idea that the Dead used this as the name for their music publishing
    company was therefore very entertaining to me...:-)
    
    tim

    Oops...yer probably right - Cat's Cradle, not Breakfast of Champions...
    
    Like I said, it's been awhile....any other points that my poor old grey
    matter scramled?  Probably.
    
    tim
    

some patriotic sticker (it had an American flag, and i think said something
like Buy American) on a truck for "Foreign Auto Parts" (I wasn't able to catch
whether the truck was American or foreign)

also,  (on a VW) "Get high on a mountain."

- rich

    re .204
    
    Uh oh, I'm gonna have to re-read it, 'cause I thought the title was
    "Now It Can Be Told," which I took as a personal_name (before
    Geraldo!).  Now I need a new one.
    
    The Gulf War ended before I got to use "Prey For Peace."  Oh well, next
    undeclared illegal war.

    the way things are going over there nowadays, you may get to use it
    after all...  :^(

    re 262 and 263
    
    how soon we forget!

    I've been thinkin of some come-back to the "Don't blame me, I voted for
    X" bumper stickers that are all over conservative Colorado Springs
    Other than the obvious F&*% YOU!, the only one I can think of is
    
    "I CAN blame you IF you voted for Raygun and Shrub for the past X
    years."
    
    How many years DID we put up with those bozos anyway? seems like 12?
    
    rfb, out of touch, has some problems with Clinton, but thinks it's time
    for social engineering

How about "Don't blame you for what?"

Dangerous asking for an intelligent exchange of ideas, though.  Bumper
stickers are for thought-bites.  The best bumper sticker I ever saw said
"Generic Bumper Sticker" followed by a UPC code.  ;^)

How about "Blamers Do It Vicariously".

:-)

    ya, my wife keeps tellin me to back off too..but after 5 days of hunting
    BY MY SELF, walkin around with high-powered rifles, listening to no one
    talk except the birds and song-dogs, clearing my mind of all
    non-positive thoughts...then I come back into this city where the
    people can't drive and the RUSH stickers are everywhere...WHERE'S MY

    I AM a song-dog as Tim said...but the ones I was refering to are
    commonly called coyotes. There were a couple packs of them around where
    I hunted this year. Years past I've had some walk right by where I was
    on a stand, close enough to almost touch...beautiful creatures when
    they have their winter coast on, ugly in summer. But sure are a pain in
    t he city where they've learned cats and dogs are easier to kill than
    bunnies or mice.

    Hey Peter,
      That'd be me.  I'll be here for 4 more weeks.  Are you in ZK too?
    If so, lets get together for an after work beer or something. 
    Actually, there hasn't been an RMO (is that what it was called?) type

re: lunch

a DEChead luncheon, perhaps?  we haven't had one of those in a while...

anyone up for one sometime next week at Siam Village?  (on Main St. in Maynard

Yep, I'm over in ZK3.  Lunch is more doable for me, as I've got
a long drive home, and the kids and wife appreciate it when I 
show up at a reasonable hour ;-) (of course, tonight, I'll have to
catch them in bed).  I've been wondering what Martha's Exchange
might have for lunch (semi-recently opened or redone as a brew pub).
The other possibility is SouthEast Asia, which is a slight bit
of a hike down to Lowell, but has the possibility of drawing 
some of the Littleton DECheads too.  Should we move this to the
Feed your Face with Friends note??

PeterT

    
    I've heard that Martha's joint is really the happenin-snappenin type

    I'd be into a DEChead luncheon, but even better yet, and after work
    DEChead alcoholica event wouldn't rustle the feathers too much.

Only in comparison to the rest of Nashua, which remains catatonic

    Dave Weiss and I checked out Martha's a while ago just after it
    re-opened...  I liked it.... the food was good and they did have
    live music.  
    
    MJ

    
    Tim, ever been to the Roxy in Boston????
    
    I went there last week for the first time....oh-my-god
    
    Now THAT is a happenin-snappenin joint!!!!!!

Nope, never been there.

Martha's is fun sometimes - much like MJ said, I had gone up there
back in the fall and the beers are interesting. (IPA comes to mind)
Don't know much about the food, though.

tim

    I've been to the Roxy before....
    
    all I remember is booming music, nobody spoke English, and there was a
    runway going down the middle of the club and a fashion show was going
    on while everyone was dancing to the really loud bassy music.....
    pretty wild....
    
    Though it was nice playing dress-up that night...
    
    And for being someone that hardly drinks I got really trashed %') while I
    was there....lost my wallet later that night and made my roommate stop
    twice on the turnpike..."I'm gonna get sick!!!  Pull over!!!!"  ;')
    Ah....such lovely memories.....:)
    
    
    :), danielle

martha's is a cool bar, but...


hit return if you want to hear my opinion of their brew!




there brew leaves much to be desired.  all of it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
too light.  even the stout !  i thought i was drinking colored light beer.

now, this was late last year.  perhaps things have changed.  when i was
there then, i was most disappointed by their beers.  all too light;  all
had the same character, etc...

IMO

Martha's had a Scotch Ale at the Boston Brew fest which of the 40 beers I 
tasted, was best of show. My guess its OG was around 1.060. It was carbed 
correctly for the sytle, too.

Also, they are in the process of adding capacity, which should allow them 
to offer a wider range of brews and keep up with demand for their current 
brews.

like i said, that was december, maybe they've come a long way.  as i recall,
their wheat beer wasn't even close to american style or german style wheat
beer ... very watery!

    re .297
    
    I enjoyed that beer too, but I detected a hint of papaya in the nose
    that was very inappropriate for style.  I agree that the carbonation
    level was correct, but only because it was served too cold.  At the
    proper serving temperature it would have been overcarbonated.  Not to
    mention that a true Scotch ale should have a hint of smoky peat on the
    mid-left side of the tongue (those taste receptors are lcoated very
    close to each other).
    
    Jamie

    re:.299
                    %^)

    re .300
    
    No joke, I was at a Boston Wort Processors meeting (an unholy union
    between a fraternity and the Boston Computer Society) and watched an
    esteemed beer judge pass judgement on a neophyte's beer.  He swirled it
    around His mouth, crinkled up His nose, then swirled it some more. 
    With furrowed brow and crossed eyes, He finally swallowed.  He stared
    off into space as the neophyte, headed bowed, awaited the sentence. 
    Finally His eyes locked onto the neophyte's, who squinted in His
    radiance.  "I TASTE PAPAYA," He said.  The neophyte quietly slunk off
    and hasn't been seen since.
    
    Jamie

    I spew brew in his general direction! %^)
    
    rfb

That was funny, no doubt, but the real coup was when I shoved a Diet Coke
under one of their noses, and upon sniffing it he proclaimed: "This beer's
infected!" 

:-)

I've been known to stop by Martha's now and then. Their beer's improved 
since last year. For example, the stout has improved although it's still 
thin and served too cold.  There was an artivle in Newsweek 2 weeks ago 
about brewpubs in which Martha's was mentioned. The person from Martha's 
said they keep their beers like as many of their patrons work at the Bud 
plant. Last week when I was there I mentioned the article to one of the 
bartenders that and suggested that they should serve Bud to those who want 
it and that they should really differentiate their beer form the big 
brewery swill. He seemed to like the idea and said he'd pass it along (I'm 
not holding my breath).

Food there isn't bad. Basic fare of soups, salads, sandwiches and a few 
other entrees.

jeff

The Martha's Scotch Ale at the BBF was just fine by me...
Warm, dark, smooth, nice body, ... and not _too_ flat.
I'm with ya, Fog ... I think it was best of show too.

    kinda hard to be doing stuff like that with cuffs on isn't it?
    and what is that state trooper doing driving you to the barracks at 140

ever see the CIA t-shirt?

    so does DEA stand for Drug Exporting Agency ?

I've heard of a shirt (but don't know if it's real or just a thought

    Um, I mean, I made it my personal mail name.  :-)

    cool, except i *hate* the word "paradigm"...we used to havea boss that

    we started throwing twenty cents out when he'd use it
    rfb

    re .-1
    
    I agree. My first thought was that battle had already been lost when
    bumper stickers talk about paradigms.
    
    My personal name for a while was "Trapped in Value Added Paradigm
    Shift", an homage to a particularly vacuous marketing talk.
    
    Oh, I just got the 20 cents reference.... :-) Talk about a low rez day.

Yah, that's an interesting RFB, do you have more cars than I have boats??
	Lets see I can only count 4 at the house right now, but there's a 
fifth on the way. I guess that's not a hard number to beat. I guess the more
unknown greater quantity wuld be wheather we have more sails or skis at 
the house?I guess we'll need to get a canoe, kayaks and a Sunfish for 
Megann if we want to keep up with RFB's car count.

    well Rich and Geoff, I actually dumped one not too long ago..sold my
    78 yellow toyota P.U. with camper shell to a kid who drove it to AZ. to
    attend Devry Institute of Technology, where I went to school eons ago.
    
    I still have:
    1.Mean Green Machine - 1970 Chevy 3/4ton 4x4 P.U with shell
    2.Old Scout or Sally Scout as my kids dubbed her years ago - 1978 ScoutII
    3.my newest, yet unnamed, 1980 Subaru GL sedan front wheel drive
    4.my daughter drives a 1979 Subaru DL wagon, front wheel drive
    5.my wife drives a 1985 Ford Donkey II 4x4 "sports utility vehicle"
    (read "real dog", but she loves it)
    
    They all run, but the Scout is unlicensed, I plan on parking it at
    Tumbledown this spring (DOOOHH! that was yesterday!) so's I have a real
    4x4 always at the cabin, we used Patty's Donkey way too much for heavy
    duty 4 wheelin last year and a couple of times those front hubs got
    REAL hot! Come to think about it, my Chevy truck is also unlicensed!
    
    A friend of mine wants me to buy his 80's Volvo, but I can't afford it
    right now. and I saw an old cadilac for sale for 400$ a couple of
    days ago! I always wanted an old caddy to trash with dead stickers. 
    

    Do we call you Commodore or Admiral?
    

	I don't know if that was meant for me or rfb, but since we'll have a 
marine head on our new boat I will no longer have to take home the sewervenirs
and clean out the tank. That makes me very happy and I guess you can no longer 
call me commoder ;^).

    couple of quick points:
    
    My uncle (and great uncle before him) runs a crematory, so death humor
    has probably been more common in my life than most folks'.
    
    It was nobody's thought but mine.  It popped into my head a couple of
    days ago as a play on the "The Fat Man Rocks" bumperstickers and I

    Yer sorry to be crude????

    A car filled with elderly people passed me this morning, with this
    sticker:
    
      PRO LIFE???
      Then act like it. 

    
    I like... 
    
    "If you don't like abortion - don't have one"

    or this one...
    "Focus on your own damn family!"

    I'm going for redemption here with my all new idea:

    whilst at the t-shirt printer yesterday, I saw :
    
             Focus on Gefelte Fish, The Edible Family Value
    
    with a smiling psy-co-delic fish wearing the star of David.....
    
    
    I thought it was way cool and was surprised I'd never seen it worn
    locally on one of us "doing our best to piss off the religious right"
    types...
    
    
    rfb

    I wear my Focus on Gefilte Fish T-shirt regularly.  It was a limited
    edition run;  Jewish Voices for Justice (I am a cofounder) created them
    as a fundraiser and sold them at the Diversity Fair a couple years ago
    and at Poor Richards.  We just decided last week to do another run of
    them.  There were/are actually three versions.  One of them has just
    the stuff on the front that you saw.  The second version has a
    follow-on phrase, on the back, that says "We want to shove our values
    down your throat."  The third has the Rodney King "Why can't we all
    just get along" quote on the back.

    we've all seen the "My boss is a Jewish carpenter" bumperstickers...
    I have a friend that *IS* a jewish carpenter, but with his hair down
    looks just like Jesus! So we are making him a sticker that says:
     
                      I *AM* a Jewish carpenter.

    Well, rfb, I'm sure I won't like you either, so you've nothing to worry
    about.  And judging by the anonymous phone calls I get at home (there
    are some people here in town who, despite no resemblance that I can
    see, mistake me for a famous red fellow with horns, tail, and a
    trident) you probably won't like me either.  We should get along just
    fine.  :-)

    sad to hear you have annoying phone calls coming in because of yer
    political stances here in COLo Spgs....remember, mean people SUCK!

    Saw this on someone's car here at HLO2 last night:
    
    "Minds are like parachutes...they only work when they're open"

    
    On 101A east this a.m. :
    
    	Zilgen
    	Sabri(???)
    and the license plate was :  TOMTOM
    
    wonder what that person does for fun or $$ 
    
    

    
    
    (That's  "Zildjian" and "Sabian")
    
    
    That's like mixing Coke and Pepsi! 
    That guy's in for bad luck....

    I stand CYMBOLIZED
    
    

    here in Colo SPgs, because of the influx of christian orgs into the
    city, there's quite a few vehicles that have the fish symbol on them. 
    And because of the few brave souls that have the cahones to stand up to
    the moral right (or moral wrong, depending on how you look at it) the
    fish symbol with legs and the words Darwin on the middle are quite
    popular also. Well, yesterday I saw a new one...the fish symbol with 
    the letters PHISH in the middle next to a bumper sticker, that I assume
    is a lyric, "Why can't I have fun while I'm young"..or something like
    that....thought some of you PHISHHEADS might think that cool...but
    you're probably way ahead of me and already know about this....
    
    
    rfb_
    did i ever tell anyone that Tiffany hung out with PHISH here in
    COlorado Spgs for an hour or two before they played there one and only
    Springs gig??? She said they were really nice and a little weird...

    I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that I liked a lot (no offense if you 
    are repub.):
    
    	Republicans are f*cked
    
    :-)

	there's a bumper sticker in the parking lot here that makes
	me smile every time I walk by it.  it says "Why be Normal"
	and it's upside-down ;-)

	Debess

	only 1/2 of the patients who enter an abortion clinic
	come out alive


	Toby

    People pickiting abortion clinic use only half their mind.

    
    Yeah.  I saw one last year....
    
    "If you don't like abortion...don't have one"

    how bout
    
    
    Just say no to sex with pro-lifers.

    "ever wonder why pro lifers look like people you wouldn't want to f*ck
    in the first place?"----

    Ever heard of the Church of Euthanasia?  They go by the motto
    'suicide abortion cannibalism sodomy'.  They have some pretty cool
    bumper stickers out.  While wandering through the web last night,
    I came across their home page: 
    
    http://www.envirolink.org/orgs/coe/index.html
    
    Here are some of the bumper stickers they've created:

    Deane, if you go to their web page 
    
    http://www.envirolink.org/orgs/coe/index.html
    
    you can click on an icon for their catalog.  It'll take you to a page
    filled with bumper stickers, and ordering information.  I think they 
    were $1/each??
