Our Fishman,
Who art in rhombus,
W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come
With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
And lead us not into the Biscuits
But deliver us from Umphrey's

Have to do some extensive repairs to my car, not happy about dropping the cash for that. Engine's rattling and making some awful noises.

So, has anybody here ever, you know, got down with someone special while a Phish song was playing? I was listening to 8/19/12 II when my girlfriend jumped me last night during the intro "crowd noise" part right before Crosseyed started. It was sort of awkward to be going while the boys were chanting "STILL WAITING" in the background. And if you haven't, what songs/jams do you think would be best to "get down" to?

So we made fish tacos last night and I got 2 avocados, thinking we'd slice them up and put them on. But instead I made guac, which of course we ate a lot of not leaving enough for tonight. So today I'll get 1 more avocado at the store and mash it in so we have enough.

And this morning I'm walking out to my car singing to myself "...and I need one more...avocado..." to the tune of Midnight Rider.

@DriedupGoliath - I've never really been much for background music during those special times. Take it or leave it generally. But if its phish, they better not be singing.

We just bought fajita materials last night when we went grocery shopping. Your post about tacos has pretty much sealed the deal that they're being made tonight. I need to eat mexican food at least once a week.

Moma dance ftw or fukoka twist for bang bang time

also, @johnnyd, I thumbed you up simply for your use of the word "twatwaffle." I giggled.

GM.N......I hate school.

Or any funk/soul

Sign'd. If we are keeping Phish out of the mix (which I normally do), I'd go wtih Greyboys, Soulive, AL Green and my personal fav - Otis Redding

Made seasoned catfish tacos on a natural wood grill New Years day, twas a tasty delight with slaw, lime juice, and some quesadilla cheese on corn tortillas...no avacado. But I do love avocados.

Still got the ill today. Ate 1/2 an English muffin with some butter this morning, which is newsworthy.

Stay healthy all!

Morning.

Welcome to the world of super heros @cupuscakus..Ive been in here a while, its not so bad.

Well y'all, Dominic has the w00k flu..no school today and he's having breakfast in bed.

I have decided to train and run a 10k. The race is April 13 and I am very excited about the whole thing. I do love a goal.

Agreed on the ambient jams. Still awaiting...that sounds..confusing.

That's a fantastic goal. I can't remember who posted it, but someone mentioned doing a 5k quarterly and a 10k semi-annually. That sounds like it would be a pretty good goal for me. Most hopefully as a part of some smoking cessation program. The half marathon was a bit too much for a yearly goal (although I will complete a full one at some point).

There are a lot of "from the couch to a 5k" training programs out there. Let me know if you need some recommendations. Remember to only increase what you're doing in small increments and stretching is the most important thing you can do - both before and after you train.

Good Morning Everyone.

To continue the beer discussion from last night just a little bit more. @muggleballs, several people were suggesting Lambics, which were included in my "sour" suggestion.

True Lambics are extremely sour and funky. I love them, but they're definitely an acquired taste. Some Lambics (pronounced lam-beek) are blended with fruits. A favorite among many who do not care for a general "beer" flavor would be Lindeman's Framboise, which I believe was suggested by @conphucius. Definitely give this a shot. It tastes like fresh, tart, raspberries.

Love Lindeman's Framboise. The Peche (Peach) one is really good, too.

@mfhgreyboy, I'll take any recommendations/suggestions I can get. I'm adding more strength training to my routine and I also added a yoga class, so I will be taking 2 classes a week beginning in February. My teacher is currently in Pune, India for a month and I can't wait to soak up all that yogi magic.

I am looking forward to the Phish 5k at the festival this summer. Maybe I can get on stage..now there's a goal for ya!

::tucks::

That's awesome, @Ednaz, good luck!
Wasn't it just a year or so ago that you started walking a ton more? Or had that been part of the routine for a while?

GM.N!!! Have a great day everyone!

I like to play BDTNL when I get down.
All my friends come Back Door To Nasty Land...

I don't even want to know what the only rule is...

I'm guessing the only rule is there are no rules.

I do like the blueberry of that! So does that all fall under the 'beer umbrella'? I'm pretty ignorant about such things. They gave me a black and black to try last night which is Guinness and black currant something which was pretty tasty.

Learning things is fun

mornin' .net....first day back in the office and wish i was home...even though i had been logging in from home, i didn't realize how much work i have to catch up on and how many emails i overlooked or said i will get to that asap....

Good Mernin' e'rryone,

Got screwed at the end of the day yesterday w/ 3 "hot" jobs flying at me with less than 20 minutes to go. 3 engineers calling, changing, changing back, then again, changing info and wanting top priority. This morning, I come in to a shitstorm of sticky notes and work prints that I left myself...I busted my ass getting two done before 8:30...now...I feel like I worked hard enough for the whole day. Poor third engineer... losing my give a shit early today.
Brought my puter to Wrk today...have to attempt to organize...and trying again to stop smoking... so I gotta keep busy.

Yay for goals @Ednaz, boo for w00k flu @Dominic, feel better lil' guy. And to all us sickies...kick that w00k flu ass!

Throat hurts so bad, wish I could go home, but I have too much work to do and no PTO yet.

GM.N!

Finally have the computer back today. Raging my resume. I like working under presure. Tom Brady'd

To weigh in on f*** music. I am a pro at making f*** mixes. I have a sick series of ambient DJs called "Background Beats" has soem of the chillest, most laid back background music I've ever heard. I've also added some Otis Redding, STS9, Ambient Phish, Lisa Hannigan, Damien Rice, Tom Waits, Sinatra...all great for adding to the moment. I try and get a nice rhythm and flow to these mixes for long stretches spent in bed (which is always the goal). Full weekend spent rolling around in bed is my favorite past time. Amen to f*** mixes.

G' morning everybody.
That's awesome @Ednaz!

Thanks @everybody

I tell ya, ya'll are a supportive bunch..

I've got the warm fuzzies.

BTW, I have a complaint for the complaint department: my coffee maker sucks. Doesn't make my coffee hot enough.

.net, fix this for me. Please and thank you.
