This isn’t who it would be if it wasn’t who it is. You gotta go down if you want to get up.

This is the Bluesky Edition of Chop. The OG Chop is still here - https://bsky.app/profile/chopaganda.shakedown.social.ap.brid.gy
21.5 inches of snow at Copper from the last storm. About fucking time.

Last year on this date, we had skied twice and most of the mountain was open.

This year we’re only 59% of our usual snowpack after 22 inches of fresh snow.

Skiing conditions so far have been more disappointing than jambands.

The "show up on time" with a 7:46 start time is actually hilarious given their history.

So the…umm…”theme” dropped.

I like the part where they dose at the end. Otherwise, I got nothing.

Anyone need tickets?

If Tahoe happened at MSG during a holiday run, it would go down as a top five Jam in the history of the band

On Palace 97 Day, here are my top 4 *Favorite* Tweezers #Ranked

Mud Island
Tahoe

Nassau
Palace

Caveat: I don’t love the sprawling dissonant 94s. Also, I only do 4 bc it gets messy after that between one-note masterpieces (New Haven), massive late 3.0/4.0 (MSG19), other big 95s, etc. #Phish

Last person in the office on a Friday, end-of-week annoyances keep popping up, out of healthy snacks, vending machines are broken, and the only edible substances I’ve found in the office besides coffee creamer are soy sauce and pancake syrup.

Shots?

Nearly 4pm ET and we still don’t know the Goosemas theme.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAN MY ‘FIT!?!?!
Pretty sure today is the day that we find out who the drummer will be for Goosemas.

A heroin addict who writes bad porn poetry says eliminating the Hepatitis B vaccine will make kids healthier. Medical experts say it will kill thousands of innocent children. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to believe.

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of #Phish December 95, here is a quick refresher:

1997 = Best Year
Fall 97 = Best Tour
December 1995 = Best Month
1995 = Best Phish

If this makes sense to you, congrats. You’ve achieved total enlightenment. So you’ve got that going for you. Which is nice.

One week before we get on the plane to Goosemas and still no theme — just a few cryptic clues that will only make it all worse if it sucks.

This has been a #Goosemas post related to the band #Goose.

OMG. It wouldn’t sting if it wasn’t true.

This is dedication!

I’m still undecided on whether they are gross or elite after eating 1/3 of a bag last night.
That’s a damn good chip!

Cool to see them still going.

I’m trying to think of other musicians who had a reasonably successful band (Todd Schaeffer & From Good Homes), disbanded, and then formed another band that found more success (Todd & RRE).

Bandleader only. Solo careers don’t count.

Ahh, Dec 2. Back in the day, I’d stir up trouble and call 12/2/97 the best Phish power hour ever and the 12/2/95 Tweezer the most intense Phish peak ever.

Some would agree and some would fight about it. But now nearly everyone has grown older and wiser and realized I’m right, and it’s less fun.

I’m having a hard time deciding if the Trader Joe’s Cashel Blue Cheese Irish Potato Chips is the greatest chip flavor ever invented or one of the most disgusting products ever sold by Trader Joe’s.

There is no middle ground. If you’ve had them, you know.

@thejediswitch.bsky.social @mdeewayne.bsky.social Disappointing bc of the red, but they hustled their asses off. And if someone offered 7 points out of Spuds, Bayern & Chelsea -- all w/ Gabby out, all w/ no healthy striker, and today with Saliba out -- I would have taken it and not thought twice.
