Phish breaks up, unemployment rate drops

I’m a little late on this one, but Phish broke up! I don’t know why I’m so excited about this. No wait, I do, and Craig Lyndall has already put my thoughts to paper:

While the majority of the music loving public is celebrating today, there are a few "victims." Makers of patchouli are said to be mourning the loss, along with all the people who would braid Phish fans' hair in trade for drugs, Volkswagen bus owners, acid dealers and of course pot paraphernalia merchants. This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for these folks. They might have to get jobs, move out of their parents' basements and listen to something other than the 2.7 million taped Phish concerts they have collected over the years, despite not having large variations in the set list from night to night.

Thank you, Craig. And thank you, Phish.

So much ire directed at a group of people who just want to listen to a jam band and be groovy. Sad, really. :)

teeheee. my new favorite as of last night is neat, which can be rearranged into "a ten." So you could tell a girl, "You're neat!" and then impress her with your suave word-stylin' ways and say "And a ten." I can see the skeptical looks from here. Well screw you guys. Oh here's another good one..."gave head" is "have aged." I bet there's a hooker or two who would agree with that. Oops.

I just realized I'm now due for some pedantic emails about the differences in the preterite and pluperfect tenses of "to lay".

I stole that one from tarfia. I wish it were mine. I always thought phish people were the ones that weren't cool enough to be DeadHeads. Someone needs to make a flash game where you get to blow away those stupid dancing pastel happy bears. A poem for your consideration: I used to be a yuppie Now I'm some faux post-modern hippy But in the time in between I lay in my underwear And watched reruns of Ren & Stimpy

i overheard at the office that it's something like 20% frat boy and 80% jewish stoner. riddle: what happens when you rearrange frat boy? you can swap letters from word to word. [riddle courtesy of laziz].

I wonder, who represents the Phish fans' largest demographic? I only listen to soft and easy rock favorites so I might be a couple months behind the times for what is cool with the kids these days.
