Just drop about 200ug of acid and listen to "Terrepin Station" till you peak, then switch to "Eyes of the World." That's what the Grateful Dead is.

And it helps if you're laying down in the grass on the edge of a lake/ocean/large body of water watching the sunset. I would also highly recommend checking out the clouds and look out for the bats...they're everywhere.

noun <kewt gray-tings> The residue left after a Cooter Grater scrubs her coot against tree bark or some other foreign object thus creating a flurry of coot gratings.
I saw a big nasty Cooter Grater and she left her coot gratings all over the place. It was like a freaking snow globe!

The Best Band EVER. Period. End of story.

More specifically, a jam band whose music combined rock, folk, blues, bluegrass, psychadelia, country, jazz, and gospel, along with an indescribable sort of magical purity that is apparent to almost anyone who actually takes the timeto listen to it, but is mostly noticed by hippies, stoners, and liberals, all of which I identify with. As a side note, jackasses, bastards, conservative douchebags, mindless capitalist minions, and many people who voted for Bush are immune to this effect.

Members of the Grateful Dead included Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, and of course, Jerry Garcia, may he rest in peace. Some of their better songs are "Jack Straw," "Fire on the Mountain," "Scarlet Begonias," "Friend of the Devil," "Sugar Magnolia," "Cassidy," "Sugaree," "Samson & Delilah," "Box of Rain," Eyes of the World," "The Wheel," "Ramble on Rose," and "Playing in the Band." Their best albums are Terrapin Station, Europe '72, Blues for Allah, Steal your Face, Shakedown Street, and Aoxomoxoa (if only for the album cover.) One major aspect of the Grateful Dead that is dificult to classify was their customized sound system, the Wall of Sound. This sound system had a seperate speaker for each instrument, and was designed so that the music could be heard over half a mile away with minimal degradation. Due to a combination of the Wall of Sound, the evolving nature of the Dead's songs, and their tendency to jam for long periods of time during concerts, the Dead experience was infinitely better live.

Though nearly anyone can enjoy the Grateful Dead, to truly understand the worlds behind the words, one must either be raised on it or attend a few Folk Festivals.

By the way, the people who said that the Dead are "Proof that if you give enough people LSD they'll totally love bad country music." and "an insidious LSD cult... infidelic pagan hippie scum... a tool of the government... etc." should rot in hell for all eternity and have a vat of acid poured into their eyes drop by drop, the cock-sucking assholes.
Any Hippie: "Want to go listen to Blues for Allah and watch the tide come in?"
Any Other Hippie: "Sure, the Grateful Dead are my heroes. Can I bring weed?"
Any Hippie: "Got some, just grab a bowl, some Doritos, and six cream sodas."
Any Other Hippie: "Cool."

1. The one and only band you need to be aware of.

2. An alcoholic drink. Typically made like this: fill a pint glass with ice. Add 1/2 oz of the following: vodka, gin, light rum and tequila. Fill almost to the top with either sour or sweet & sour mix. Shake or stir vigorously if no shaker is available. Add straw and drink. Bartenders will typically leave more space than usual when adding sour or sweet & sour mix and will top with equal parts of Chambord/razzmatazz and Blue Curacao to create a color effect for presentation. No matter which way you make it this drink NEVER gets any kind of garnish unless specifically requested by a customer.

An expression of hatred or a way to get revenge.

The protagonist defecates onto a piece of plastic wrap, wraps it, and places it in the freezer. Once it is fully frozen, he/she takes it, along with a sturdy cheese grater, to the (temporarily vacated) home, car or office of the enemy, and proceeds to grate the frozen shit all throughout the interior.

It is most effective when the gratings are deposited into all nooks and crannies, down the back of couches, inside drawers, etc etc.

A nice finishing touch is to then leave the heating on.
That fucktard never paid me back my $10, so last night, I poo grated his entire house.
