phish is the warming feeling you give your cat after its been outside all night on a cold, spring night.

phish isn't an excuse to get loaded, not remember the show, and talk shit to the newer members of the phish community

phish is the realization that sometimes, no matter how many cd's we listen to, we will never feel the same way about any band on earth, for the rest of our life.

phish is the empty feeling you get when another band is mentioned, or you hear another band playing on a cd player, and wish that 8-9-98 or 11-19-92 was playing instead.

phish is like having sex with the hottest girl in school.

phish isn't a popularity contest, and if you don't like the music, and don't appreciate the band, stay the fuck out of the shows.

phish is reading the last short story in James Joyce's Dubliners, The Dead, over and over again, and getting the same feeling as you imagine the soul of Michael Furey's soul crying from somewhere far away in the universe

phish is the thought of knowing that if you were to die tomorrow, you would go in peace, for life is made better with phish around

phish isn't a religion, and phish isn't the only thing that matters. phish isn't life.

however, phish will make one's life more enjoyable.

phish is like opening a birthday present in march, when your birthday is in august.

phish is like being caught in chinook, high on a mountain top, when it was previously 12 degrees, and turned into 45 degrees in mere seconds.

phish is the feeling in your stomach that you get just before you bust a phat nut in your girlfriend.

phish is like having sex with the end.

phish is you, phish is i, phish is us. we are phish, and they are phish.
