Rock Stars

Here’s something you didn’t know: that there is a survival accordion. Hidden in waterproof compartments amongst the bellows are a hunting knife, traps for small game, and moose repellant.

Also, be aware that profiting in any way off of this image will cause the Copyright Hyenas to eat you, and hyenas (no matter whether they be Copyright or just plain hyenas) eat their meals alive, and start from the asshole and work inwards/upwards.

Hand Me My Old Guitar

jerry skeleton sloseup

As with every other trivial piece of nonsense being wildly speculated about concerning the Farewell Shows, whether or not Trey will play one of Garcia’s old guitars is being debated.

TotD can report to you (first as always) that not only will Trey play Wolf, but also wear Garcia’s favorite flannel, smoke a cigarette from a half-empty pack of Camels of Garcia’s found after his death, and bathe using unopened hygiene products found in Garcia’s bathroom. (The number of unopened hygiene products was surprising if you didn’t know him, predictable if you did.)

Trey did refuse one thing: at the meeting, Garcia’s ex-wife who isn’t Mountain Girl (Montana? Mashed Potatoes?) revealed she had kept a small portion of Garcia’s cremated remains; she asked Trey if he “wanted a toot,” and at that point, even Billy left the room because of how weird it had gotten.

Seriously, though: Trey will not be playing Wolf. Or Tiger, or Rosebud, or any other of Garcia’s ridiculously over-engineered guitars; he has his own ridiculously over-engineered guitar.  (What’s it called? The Laser Duck?) Also, Trey’s guitar is a semi-hollowbody, whereas Garcia’s guitars are, like, 14 of the world’s hardest and most expensive woods glued together and weigh more than neutron stars after the holidays.

Trey has agreed to let Parish hit three or four people for him, though.

Stuck In The Middle With You

Randomly:

  • Phil is roughly 1.29 Mickeys high.
  • Brent is straight-up jingling his keys. doing his Hanon exercises, counting his change, milking his shake, shaking his milk, putting away his toys, stroking the place that makes him a bad boy.
  • Bobby and Garcia heard you been talking shit.
  • Things Mickey does because it is his nature: drum, physically assault people, wear Dead stuff, assume superhero poses whenever a camera’s present.
  • Phil wants to show you his imported tentacle porn.
  • Or his van.
  • Or his deathnipples.
  • Billy never had these feelings before. Especially not about Mickey: Jesus, he was the man’s brother drummer! That would be like getting wood from your sister and banging her in the closet of Uncle Al’s 60th birthday party. (After Uncle Al walked in on the incestuous closet-banging, he had a massive heart attack, so the theme was quickly changed to “wake.”)
  • But there it was: that tingle in his dingle which meant Billy’s heart had a boner. And Billy’s boners weren’t like the dumb boners of old, just chucked out of the trousers in vain hopes of hitting the ground; no, Billy’s boners were like today’s smart boners: steerable, programmable, and deadly accurate; one made it down a chimney once. This boner had a name on it, and the name was Mickey.
  • Billy was desperate: perhaps Mickey had secretly been a stone-cold teen fox all this time? Like a Mrs. Doubtfire deal? Billy rejected that one on the grounds that he had seen Mickey naked 18 billion times. That’s a conservative guess.
  • A potion? Voodoo? Santeria? Any other of the ethnic magics? A curse from an ancient Eastern European, one of those places where everyone there is an 85-year-old woman? Had that goddamn Time Sheath technology spawned another zap gun that turned people gay? (Again.)
  • No matter: Billy’s hand was creeping towards Mickey’s crotch, that heaping bowl of potato salad, and creeping slowly but steadily and then Mickey…
  • “HIYA!” and smacks Billy’s hand.
  • “You were up to your no-good dickpunching ways, William.”
  • “Huh? I wasn’t…YES, I was going to punch you in the dick. Because I’m Billy and that’s hat I do to dicks. Punch them.”
  • “But I thwarted you with the Judo that America taught me while I served in her Air Forces!”
  • “Why are you talking like Superman?”
  • “It’s a photo shoot thing. I stand like this, and sometimes–“
  • “Oh, right: you get into it.”
  • “–I get into it and kinda get all Clark Kenty. What were we talking about?”
  • “I don’t remember.”
  • No joke: Garcia and Bobby are sending some folks to the hospital tonight.

Is She Really Going Out With Him?

“Look at me, Mrs. Donna Jean! Hear my thoughts as I send them out towards your pigtails and modest, yet form-fitting, dress. READ MY MIIIIIIND, woman! Broadcast, Bobby does, his neurons and synapses doing…their…thing. I do not know what neurons and synapses do: no matter, my love!

 

“I know what my dong does. I know what it does to you. Remember that time you were going to sneeze, and I stopped up your nose with my penis? You thanked us both that day. Then, you sneezed on my penis. I was cool with that.”

“Shut up, Bobby. I’m ignoring you.”

“You CAN hear me!”

“You’re basically screaming across the psychic plane. My telepathic powers enable me to hear you if only you speak quietly.”

“It’s weird we’ve never discussed these telepathic powers before.”

“It is. Maybe we’ll discuss them at length in the coming days and then discard the idea again.”

“Love me, Mrs. Donna Jean! Love me back! Feel my gaze on your beauty, and my hands on your booty.”

“If you guys are done, Billy’s got a bunch of lines back here.”

“Who is this?”

“Get off the line.”

“It’s Phil. You two gotta cool it. Keith’s gonna figure this out.”

“Phil, you know that Keith is unable to hear any psychic conversations!”

“I did not know that. And it seems awful convenient. Irregardless, he wouldn’t even have to.”

“Yeah, Bob: your neck’s kinda losing its mind there.”

“Garcia?”

“Hey.”

“Hey.”

“Bobby, I gotta agree with everyone: you got a needy vibe coming off ya.”

“Who is this?”

“The skull Mickey’s holding.”

That’s enough.
