Before we get things going, in honor of Cyber Monday... let's take a moment to enjoy the marvels of modern science... circa 1983

Get your keyboards ready
For those of you who didn’t wake up at the crack of dawn on the day after Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, you’re in luck—retailers are offering a variety of deals to online shoppers.Get a jump on your holiday shopping from the convenience of your home or work space (hopefully during your lunch break) and take advantage of Cyber Monday deals.
Here are some highlights. Take a look at the retailer’s website for additional information. In some cases, the offers are not just restricted to Monday.

Marijwhatnow? A Guide to Legal Marijuana Use In Seattle
Can I legally carry around an ounce of marijuana?
According to the recently passed initiative, beginning December 6th, adults over the age of 21 will be able to carry up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use. Please note that the initiative says it “is unlawful to open a package containing marijuana…in view of the general public,” so there’s that. Also, you probably shouldn’t bring pot with you to the federal courthouse (or any other federal property).
Only one ounce for personal use? What is this, Nazi Germany?
4. Gift Ideas
While we're shopping, here's a handy list of gift ideas... they've got one for every type of person on your list.. except the weed-smoking fornicators... what up with that?

Speeking of fornicators...
Your welcome.
6. The Real Bond
De-classified spy weapons from N. Korea. Yes, they are as cool as you would imagine... now what are the ones that are still classified?
7. Comic Meltdown
What kind of meltdown you ask?
Williams and promoter Live Nation have been sued in a class action lawsuit filed by Brian Herline on behalf of all attendees of the comedian's Nov. 16 show in Oakland, Calif., TMZ reported. The lawsuit claims Williams "confronted a heckler, took his clothes off, and attempted to fight at least three audience members," before ending the show in just 10 minutes.
Well, at least he had the good sense not to ruin that suit!

The latest edition of the Journal of Sex Research has challenged the stereotype that porn actresses have poor self-images and a history of sexual abuse. A report suggests that porn stars have higher self-esteem, a better quality of life and body image, and are more spiritual than their non-adult entertainment counterparts.
Better quality of life and body image... brought to you by, Dow Plastics.
11. D'oh of the Day
How do you fuck up shredding paper? I didnt even think that was possible.
Shredded police documents used as parade confetti

CBS Station WCBS writes that the Nassau County Police Department is looking into reports that shredded documents from its offices ended up as confetti at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Police said the documents included sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers of personnel and police incident reports.
The department issued a statement saying it has launched an investigation and will be reviewing procedures for disposing of sensitive documents.
The shreds were not "official" parade confetti. Macy's said it only provides bits of paper in colorful dot form.
Some pieces reportedly included info on Romney's motorcade.. poor bastard. His Presidential dreams literally shredded and tossed out the window like so much garbage. Again, luckily he has a 100 dollar bill for each piece of confetti tossed that he can use as a mattress to cry himself to sleep on tonight.
But.. in case you missed this... it should warm your heart just a little bit..
12. Because you dont have enough of a drinking problem
Here's some inventive ways to get more booze into your diet! Gotta love the holidays!
13. And if that don't drive you to drink
This self-proclaimed 76-year-old Cougar surely will...
<<fighting back vomit>>
Now when she says, "younger men" I assume/hope she's talking about 50-somethings?
"Some people think it's 'sick' for a woman this old to be this hot."

14. Gathering Moss?
A recap (with some vids) of last night's tour opener for the Stone's 50th Anniversary run...
Looks good on you though
15. Mad Men
16. Last but not least
As I decided to take Fri off.. let me conclude our little series on the thanksgiving run 97.. the only anniversary that really should be celebrated this week. The final night of the Worcester run looked to pick up where "the Runaway Jam" night left off.. and they did there best with a jammed out first set...
Sunday, 11/30/1997
Worcester Centrum Centre, Worcester, MA
Set 1: Guyute, Funky Bitch[1], Wolfman's Brother[2] -> Love Me, The Squirming Coil, Loving CupSet 2: NICU, Stash[1] -> Free > Jam -> Piper > When the Circus Comes, Run Like an Antelope
Encore: Them Changes[3]
[1] Unfinished.
[2] Heavy metal style jam, with a Heartbreaker tease from Mike and Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther.
[3] Phish debut.
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon[2] Heavy metal style jam, with a Heartbreaker tease from Mike and Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther.
[3] Phish debut.
Notes: Funky Bitch and Stash were unfinished. Wolfman’s included a heavy metal style jam, with a Heartbreaker tease from Mike, and Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther. Them Changes made its Phish debut at this show.
This show was part of the "1997 Fall Tour (a.k.a. Phish Destroys America)."
Quick taste:
All I can find on youtube is the Stash > Free... and it's just audio.. but hey, that's all you really need to have your mind blown at the office.
Full show:
This site seems to have an easy download version.. just scroll down... as well as some other audio snippets you can enjoy on the fly.. While you're there you can check out this blogger's take on the show as well..though I wouldn't trust any stoner's recollection of a night some 15 years ago... having said that......
My Two Cents:
-Guyute could be one of the best single-tune openers of all time. Thats the band's way of saying, we aren't fucking around tonight. And if you didnt get the message how about a jammed out, unfinished version of FUNKY BITCH of all things to follow it up? Still not getting it? How about a heavy metal (wha wha whaat?!?) jam out of.. Wolfman's Brother?!?! And just when they've turned your mind to mush, and you think you can't bug out any harder.. Gordon sings Elvis. Man I love phish.
-Dissapointed that it's not listed properly as "Dem Changes" on the setlist, but what a random, yet somehow awesome encore. Came out of nowhere and I dont think they ever played it again. But definitely sent those of us who had "Band of Gypsys" in the disc changer at all times in those days..home happy. What are dem changes they refer to? Perhaps the new, jammed out funk style they had perfected by late 97... which would ultimately climax at MSG a month later with the "Sneakin Sally" show.... oh to be young and funkin' out on phish tour... Guess I'll have to do my best to relive the glory days a month from now.. NYC, watch out!
