this is great!

Who still has boxs of tapes in the basement and can't bear to throw them away.

<==here!

And I'll never throw 'em away. Spent too much time with them, trying to get them, etc. It's part of my life; they tell a story. I'll be buried w/ 'em.

Number 24 isn't fair. I mean, come on, everybody knows the words to Truckin better than Bob does

This is totally me as well. I even just brought them from my last abode to my new digs where they'll likely continue to gather dust. Though once in a while I'll pull one out.

when you drive from shore line to vermont just to see one show, then drive back

I am guilty of that!! I never listen to them but cant part with them either!

[Tennessee Jedi]

Sitting behind the stage was where it was at.

well, this one happened to me this morning.

you know you're a deadhead when you put on Grateful Dead radio and an awesome version of Loose Lucy from 74 is playing, and you just have to sit and listen to it because it's that good, even though you know you're gonna miss the bus and have to walk 30 minutes to campus for a class that starts in 30 minutes.

it was ok though, i listened to some more Dead while i made my way to class.

[WeCanSharetheWiiine]

I hear ya, GratefulFloyd... I was on my way to a friends house listening to the truckin' jam from hundred year hall and had to drive around the block a few times til the song was over!

[wtractor]

Yeah I do this one a lot (quote dead lyrics)... best band ever. i don't even like listening to anything else.

Hows this one? And i really do this which is a little sad lol. When you see the clock and it says 11:06 and you think of that sweet Truckin jam from 11/06/77 and so on. Haha I dunno how it happened but it happens alot.

This I don't do, but I constantly slip Dead lyrics into my everyday convesations. Like if someone tells me they are going to California, almost instinctively I'll respond, "ah, the Prophet on the Burning Shore"

Or if someone comes up to me and starts complaining about something stupid, I'm liable to say:

Cat on a tin roof
Dogs in a pile
Nothin' left to do but
Smile Smile Smile

And there are whole lote more...

Maybe topic for a different thread?

At work I often like to say... "Uhh... Lets not fence ourselves in the lines we might have drawn"... when met with resistance to a new idea I am proposing for fixing an ongoing problem.

"You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know" has served me well a few times---especially when talking with rigid right-wingers I occasionally run into.

[bodiddley]

Yes, but that's a line they can throw right back at ya.

[mttourpro]

Yes, but that's a line they can throw right back at ya.

True, but then I can say---STFU Asshat!
