Here's another thing that only Grateful Dead fans will understand (pic and video).

I needed something to make me laugh this morning, and this did it.

The picture depicts members of the Grateful Dead and how they would react if they took too many drugs before playing a show.

The video is a 1974 interview with Jerry Garcia where he talks about throwing bassist Phil Lesh down a flight of stairs in anger.

The story behind this is that The Grateful Dead were playing some show, and the music got too complicated, and Phil Lesh just got lost and stopped playing. Garcia grabbed Phil and shoved him down a couple of steps and told him "YOU PLAY, MOTHERFUCKER". This is hilarious to me because the shove was of no consequence, no one got hurt, and people are still making fun of this incident 50 years later.
