Jerry Garcia died 10 years ago today

Postby labbats » Tue Aug 09, 2005 2:33 pm

I remember it clearly as if it were yesterday. I was dating a girl far too young for me at the time, and we were supposed to meet her parents that day. We got in the car to drive, and all the radio stations were playing the Grateful Dead. I looked at her and said this couldn't be good. Sure enough he died. I almost called it off, but then she promised me she'd let me have sex with her in the middle of the golf course by her parent's house that night. She was a lady of her word, and I felt much better about it.

Hey! She actually was. That's why it was a big deal to get her on the golf course. She was a virgin before she fell to my charms.

But the point of this post is for everyone to rehash memories of what they were doing when Jerry died. At least those who are old like me and deadheads.

Thankfully he isn't still alive, then we'd have even more shitty stoner music.

Cherry Garcia is disgusting ice cream. It's almost as bad as Chunky Monkey, but not quite.

Ten years ago I had just moved to Dallas and taken my first DBA job. In August I bought a new car and was learning to hate Dallas traffic. My son was also diagnosed special needs starting a long journey warring with Autism.

It was my 21st birthday, I was drunk and celebrating his death with my legal drinking life. I think I did twins that night too.

They're not twins if you face them both downward towards your feet.

10 years ago I was 15 years old, on my summer vacation, and was exploring my body with my fingers and discovering the joys of self stimulation. I think I managed to get myself off everyday once I figured out the technique :)

10 years ago in August, I was pregnant with my first son. All I can remember about the first pregnancy was the loads of Burger King I ate, and the loads of weight I gained.

10 years ago, I was working as a senior support engineer in a really really shitty job, for a boss who considered it good management style to sneak up around the corner of your cubicle and then yell in a loud voice, "SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" On the plus side, it had me doing on-site repairs at Oracle with some frequency, which landed me a job there in 96, which is what started me on the Network Engineer career path.

Hmm...10 years ago I broke up with my boyfriend of 6 years and was getting used to living on my own again.

I like Ben & Jerry's ice cream! I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

It is a shame Jerry died, though. But at least Ben is still alive!

You want to talk expensive, it was $6 FOR ONE SCOOP of Phish Food at GEauga Lake yesterday. I prefer to treat myself once in a while. I don't mind the $5 for the pint

The movies that came out that summer were The Usual Suspects, Braveheart and Appolo 13. But being the wise 15 year old I was I decided to save my money for the new Batman movie. It's got to be good Jim Carey AND Tommy Lee Jones are playing the villains plus it's being directed by the director of The Lost Boys.

Wow Zan we must be the same age then. That was a great summer. I was taking drivers education and that's where I met this guy named Scott. Omg he was great. We did things 15 and 16 yr olds should have never been doing lol.
