Are you–
“We’re eating Benjy!”
–eating…Goddammit, Billy: this is weird even for you.
“Done a lotta shit in this life, man. Sold out football stadiums, orgied with Dan Healy, punched dick across this great nation and several other slightly shittier nations; never ate man.”
For a reason! Cannibalism is a bridge too far.
“What? Like you’ve never eaten anyone?”
…
That’s a terrible argument.
“Listen: I got all this Benjy and it’s gonna go to waste.”
How are you preparing him?
“Seafood Paella with Benjy Bits.”
Is there a vegetarian option?
“You can eat around the Benjy Bits.”
I’m not coming to dinner.
“You weren’t invited.”
Thoughts on the Dead 
I misread it as Billy had orgied with Don Henley. Self immolation was the only cure
Uncle Sam lurking hard
Benjwurst would be the next logical step.
This part scared me a little bit about ToTD..
When he says..
“…”
Billy the Fishmonger.
Maybe he’ll get back on his feet someday.
How much for the gloves?
What if Benji is considered to be a vegetable? Despite the horrible taste, which veggie does he most resemble?
HanniBill: My Benji once tested me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
im screaming
Calm down or he will eat you too. haha
NOOOOO
Bill: Pass the duck sauce, this is even better than fatty egg rolls.
Benji: I am the secret ingredient.
…
Bill: Look, this food is not purple enough, is all I’m saying.
Mental note: Do not visit this website before breakfast.
Never ask what’s in it. hahaha
Of course not
Fresh Benjamin Twiggs and Berries………..i will stop now
Off topic (since the topic appears to be Dead Cannibalism)
This is from the only JGB show I ever attended. Jerry coulda/shoulda been a gospel singer.
I made a tape with the crappiest cassette recorder ever made. Maybe I’ll dig it out later to see what it sounds like.

Swanky joint
Haha. Thanks, Nice pic. As I recall we were sitting on the front row of the balcony. Great venue.
My first JGB show was just a bit earlier on the same tour, and I also sat in the front row of the balcony! However, the joint was much LESS swanky — good sound, though.

NoThoughtsOnDead, YES! It must have gotten a major renovation at some point. I seem to recall peeling paint and rather dark interior, not the gold leaf majesty shown in spenser’s photo. But yes, great sound. 🙂
So I found one of my tapes from the show. And wouldn’t you know it, neither of my cassette decks is working. Damn you 70s Technology!! hahaha
spenser, Yes the Before pic is what I remember. hahaaha.
You are amazing at web search. 🙂
shucks oysters with gloves? needs to build up thumb joint scar tissue.
This is literally the most random fckin meme lol
Me
had a hermit crab as a kid. one big claw and a really tiny one. his name was Nelson. cat was terrified of it. had it for some time then lost it in the house somewheres.
Nelson the hermit crab???? 😍😍😍😍😍 :’) :’) :’) :’) that’s the cutest thing I’ve heard. Aww, I’m sorry he got lost! Poor little fella! I loved collecting hermit crabs on the Long Island sound as a kid. 🙂
he came from a long line of Nelsons. all my fish were named Nelson….I, II, III etc. the cat killed all of them so I got the crab figuring she wouldn’t mess with it….it had protection-like. i had box & a painted turtles, garter snakes, gerbils who lived in the Chesterfield for some time. but the Hermit Crab was really a friend. got check out Long Island Sound some time, get re-acquainted.
Well that is just so cute. Why the name Nelson? It’s adorable. I never had many pets and I don’t expect that I will because I’m much too forgetful and wouldn’t want to cause harm to the little creatures. Hermit crabs sure do sound nice though. Maybe I’ll be that weird hippie chick in college who has Dead tapestries and marine life in her room.
I had a beta fish called Gus last year. Gus died because my mom wasn’t gentle enough with him while cleaning his tank and I was legitimately sad for a couple hours after that. Even though he didn’t do anything at all it was just nice to know that there was a neat little guy in our house all the time.
I had a betta just a few years ago and I cried when he died.
He was my fish friend.
What was his name? 😦 Moment of silence for your fish friend.
Moby.
That’s sweet. Poor Moby. Did he live a long time?
Couple years, actually.
They can live a pretty darn long time. Gus lived for probably a year before he croaked. I would over-feed him sometimes not knowing that the chemicals in all the extra food floating in his bowl could be harmful to him. Sometimes I wish he was back because it was cool to have a little friend there watching us on hectic mornings or when we were having dinner or whatever. I wonder if he liked us.
Mostly I’d feel bad because I wouldn’t want to have four damned feet of living space. It just feels so weird the way we treat animals. Too bad they’re delicious.
You know, it’s interesting how one can grow attached to an animal as small as a pet fish. You can’t even do anything wish fish except for admire them (and, at times, feel bad for them being in the enclosure of a tank, therefore limiting their life).
Betta* whoops
Guys? they’re in Heaven now
I hope so
maybe not Nelson. never did find him. one of the Grateful Dead. maybe by talking about him, things’ll straighten out somehow. he’s probably kickin’ in the basement of my Mom’s house with the chifferobe, badminton set, and old hockey equipment
Never actually heard the word chifforobe before. We call em bureaus. Or, at least my dad does. I’m so sorry you lost Nelson. I bet he’s having a grand old time wherever he is. May I ask how long ago this was?
’71 or ’72 i guess. keith & donna times. or Canada vs. CCCP times.
it was a cheap goal. Canada was outclassed.
Hey that’s very cool man
thanks! i was 5 or 6. i’d just went through a painful divorce, some mean kids stole my bike, still tied my shoelaces “bunny ear” style. moved back to my parents place…….the ushge.
Well, you were a step ahead of me in that I still couldn’t tie my shoes on my own when I was 5. Now I’m a pro.
i still make 2 bunny ears. sometimes double. truth be told i’ve entered the slip-on era. side gussets. laces schmaces.
Hey, nothing wrong with that. I got made fun of for taking so long to learn, but I still learned, and now I can wear shoes, goddamn it. I’ve been preferring the company of Birkenstocks to my feet lately.
i had my Birks era. The People complained of the stink though (ie no socks sweaty feet).
I keep my feet nice and clean and I actually very much enjoy wearing socks. On most nights I wear socks to bed. I can’t live without socks, man. I’m living on the edge right now, because I’m actually not wearing socks. HOLY SHIT WHAT A FUCKING RUSH I FEEL NAKED
generally i feel that socks are little prisons for your feet. but i do appreciate a good sock in the winter. i walk a lot. listen to an old warrior. take care of your feet, spend money on them, spoil them.
I love a good pair of socks. All the time. I hate getting my feet dirty. Also, my feet are probably more aesthetically pleasing than they are physically. They are very flat and far too flexible and have caused me problems since middle school. Needless to say, I’ve spent a shitload of money on them thus far. To be honest, though, I really don’t like feet. They creep me out. That’s probably why I love socks so much.
yeah, i know a lot of people creeped out by feet. my friend has just starting letting me into her house with me in bare feet. i come from a long line of simians. we like barefootin’. my mom used to smoke with her feet when she had a few cocktails in her gullet.
that’s hilarious oh my goodness
