GD listing in uncyclopedia
uncyclopedia calls itself “the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” The entry on the Grateful Dead is hilarious.
The Grateful Dead was originally a regimen of Special Ops. Army forces used to assassinate Soviet and Chinese officials in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, as well as to carry out psyops against the populations of both North and South Vietnam. Firm believers in the slogan “Better Dead than Red” they named their organization in honor of civilians killed in the bombings of North Vietnam who they believed were grateful to no longer be living under Communist rule. To keep their mission top secret, the leaders of the group made frequent trips to their adopted home of San Francisco between missions, attempting to blend in with the local population. During one such trip in 1967, Lt. Colonel Jerome “Jerry” Garcia and Majors Robert “Bob” Weir and Phillip “Phil” Lesh became concerned about the growing unrest they saw with the war at home. It was then that they met with West Point graduate and CIA operative Timothy Leary who helped them devise a strategy. Leary introduced the soldiers to Ronald “Pigpen” McKernan - venture capitalist and corporate raider, William “Bill” Kreutzman (a high-priced lawyer whose clients included the John Birch Society, Exxon, The Daughters of the Confederacy, and The Walt Disney Company), and Robert Hunter, a lobbyist for the nuclear power and coal industries, who also had a side business running safaris to hunt endangered species.

That's way too way. I was doing guard duty in the Nam and listening to some Chinese radio station. They were playing various songs in between the jibberish and it was around midnight when out of nowhere they played The Other One>Dark Star. No shit Maynard, it was 1972.
Peace, Love, Hippie Stuff,

ps; you should do like I do and delete the pharm vendor comments. I have them blocked on my trackbacks, but they still get to my guest book, even though it says outright that they will be deleted.
