    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I picked mine because I thought you could put your favorite Pearl Jam song underneath it and I was going to put Alive. I found out that the song is picked based off of the number of posts.

    I'd Rather Be is just that. I'd rather live in the moment!

    When I joined the Pit, I was getting ready to see PJ in Vancouver, BC 2005. This was going to be my Tenth PJ show in Ten years. I added Alive becuase I love seeing PJ live.

    My criteria:

    -Music-related: From the Kiss song "I wanna rock & roll all night . . . ."

    -PJ reference: Ed said his favorite misinterpretation of a lyric was from Mike McCready--"I wanna rock & roll all night . . . . and part of every day." I was at this show (Benaroya), which was extra special (venue alone!) and because it was one of their first acoustic sets.

    -Mike-specific (he's my fave band member): This has always made me smile because it seems so genuine coming from Mike as a rocker. Of course it's rock&roll all night & part of every day--what else would it be? He probably never even gave it a second thought.

    -Obscure enough that no one else will have it, but clever enough that those "in the know" will get it (thanks again, Ament'sChick!)

    -Finally (phew!), it is self-descriptive. I do want to rock&roll part of every day!

    One of the first nicknames I was given at my firehouse was pearl jam joe (patch under lip & huge pj fan)but that was too obvious. Later on I was also given the nickname guacamole joe because of my great tasting(and sometimes mind altering) avocado dip. Since the last cd cover had an avocado I used the later nickname. Oh, if anyone needs the recipe its no secret, just send me a pm and I'll forward the ingredients.
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    I don't recall ever seeing this here.

    I picked Jammer because a lot of the clever Pearl Jam related names had been taken by the time I joined. We are all "jammers" so I just figured what better name could I pick? Why did you pick yours?


    DITTO!

    my old thread

    This is great. Three years ago explains why I don't remember it ;-)

    Some funny stories here so far. It's nice that we all get to know a little about each other. Thanks to all that have posted so far.

    Cool thread.

    I got my name from a Ralph Nader rally at MSG. Ed came out and said "NOw this is a Gardenparty" or something like that. Also, my location is the sku# for live at the garden.
