Hey everyone. I posted these in the Vet Lounge but thought it appropriate to share here with you folks here.
One time I got a few hits of acid and was warned "don't take more than one". Knowing me, I took a lot more than one. I'm like 30 minutes in with lightning shooting out my eyes headed toward a pit of despair. I called zappa and his first response was "hope it's important" ... "yeah, I took too much, I love you man" ... "I love you too, xxxx. Now get off the phone and trip!"
It meant the world to me that he would pick up 9pm on a weeknight and just yank me out of a spiral like that.
He once said, in that thick NY accent, "I'm just here to look out for yooze kids." Man was a hero.
~ ~ ~
Reminds me of around this time last year.. someone made a thread about what happened to America being great.. zappa and I were shooting the shit and it came up. He says to me, "What do you mean America isn't great anymore? Let me tell you a story."
He breaks out this tale of little zappa watching the funeral procession of JFK. "Back when you had one TV station?" I quip, and he returns with "we had 3, shut up and listen" 
Little zappa took out his cap gun and fired out into the sky saluting the fallen commander-in-chief with his own 21 gun salute. That man really loved his country. I can only imagine it being 1963 and little zappa is firing off a cap gun to salute his president.
One thing he always joked about with me was the movie Blazing Saddles. He was in college and he and the boys thought they were in for a Western. Guy had no idea . Same thing happened to my father. They both even liked the same quotes, "Mongo only pawn in game of life". We would sometimes end our conversations with "well, whattya gonna do, Mongo only pawn in game of life."
We tried not to talk of the boards but it always came up anyway.. I asked him once, I said man, what's wrong with you and Asante? He says "we disagree on things". I tell him he's got a funny way of showing disagreement. He comes back with "I love the guy as much as I love you or the next person."
I really miss the guy. One thing that I'll always thank him for is this zappaism: "When you realize you're tripping, eat more".
His best response when going on a heroic dose: "It must've been good. I lost a shoe." Just out of nowhere it was like the most absurd thing I ever heard but we were in stitches.
Man loved his wife, his kids, us, his fellow man, and boy did he love his hallucinogens. What a guy.

Really seems like it. It had been about 10-12 years since I experienced a death. This year, I've been to four funerals of people I've been close too. One right after another.
RIP Zappa. Well all be there before we know it.

Didn't know ZiG very well, but he sure as hell was a big part of this board. He did make me smile at times, when admiring how easily he got the butthurt flowing. Out of all the RIP announcements over the years that I have been here, this one definately hit me hardest... I guess its just because I had grown so used to constantly seeing him here, IDK. He will be very much missed. We def lost a big part of this family when he left us.
RIP brother....

Fuck... I'm going to miss zappa. The guy could get emotional in an argument and he was stubborn, but his posts were worth reading. I learned some great words from him too. I'm sad I never took him up on his offer to call him up and bullshit. RIP zappa. I hope he died in a pile of naked ladies.

Thanks Rose, Adden, Shlong,CGT, Asante,Enlil..anyone else who shed some light on the real man behind the curtain. I lol'd about the losing a shoe post when he posted about that trip last year. One thing is for certain....The Shroomery is a lesser place without him...he will be missed.
I did my first mushroom trip in almost two years this weekend in his honor...ironically, I wound up listening to Santana rather than Frank Zappa. RIP old friend.

Zap always had a problem differentiating darwinism from eugenics. He had many great points in his arguments (of course I would never tell him that). The guy held his ground like an old oak tree. Maybe he'll be immortalized as the patron saint of adamant and unshakable views. Dudes probably trying to get Muhammad Ali deported from the afterlife as we speak.
RIP

Theres no republicans or democrats in heaven, no haters only lovers in the hereafter.
Dont worry twighead, zappa probably felt honored and amused by the Anonymous lulz. He was not one to back down and cower.
Brandon "Ripper" Vedas' death brought him to the shroomery, his mission was to save some young people from their own stupidity and have a lot of fun doing it.
Don't sweat it.

i didn't get to know zig very well and was on the receiving end of his nasty side on several occasions, and he was such a smug bastard sometimes, but i think he was overall a good dude. i've heard first hand accounts of him being solid and that's enough for me. plus, frank zappa was the shit. it won't be the same here without his crusty old white republican ass sounding off about every other thing. RIP ZIG.
if you can make it to the awesome pedal steel solo in this song, zig might have approved:
