The Golden Road (To Unlimited Promotion)

Remember that ridiculous auction for Jerry Garcia's toilet?

It was stolen over the weekend! Goldenpalace.com, which bought it for $2,550, is offering a $250 reward for its safe return.

"It's unclear if the toilet was swiped by a wayward Deadhead or a thief remodeling a bathroom. Police have no suspects or leads."
Our suspect: goldenpalace.com.

When they catch the perp, they'd better throw 'em in the can.

The investigation is really a crapshoot at this point.

It really bugs the shit out of me that people would pay to poop where jerry pooped. What the hell is wrong with us deadheads? No wonder my mom won't take acid.
