PGP: We are motherf*cking ADULTS!

[Thora]

cori, I don't know if you saw this when I mentioned it the other day, but earlier this week (Tues, maybe?) I was flipping through the channels and saw a few minutes of The Good Wife. I'm totally intrigued, and am going to catch up ASAP so I can watch the show in a few weeks, hopefully. Looks like a fantastic show!

 

[The Edgetarian]

And I think I can guess the direction we're going in...


All the beer I've had tonight is getting to me, time to call it a night. G'nite ladies!

i'd say that we are heading on the perviness floor
my beer waits for tomarrow!


and I'm off to sleep too, cause it's late and I'm tired, because for the last few hours I've been trying to make some order in my U2 picture folder, but I still didn't end up anywhere.. it's impossible, i'm telling you oh yeah, and I might have stayed staring at them for far too long to actually do anything
Night everybody! Don't misbehave!

 

[Ms The Edge]

Ok, I am confused.

From the Age article-

While not exactly lanky, in person the man born as Paul Hewson is not as short as many believe (178 centimetres, to be exact) and although the glasses remain on, his heavily freckled, wrinkle-free visage belies his 50 years.

Isn't 178 cm 70 inches? As in 5'10"? As in my height? As in... a height that Bono totally is NOT?

 

[Ms The Edge]

I can't even imagine a scenario that wouldn't end in porn of the highest order.

You say that like it could possibly be a bad thing!

We can handle it. We're motherf*cking ADULTS.

 

[corianderstem]

There is no way that man is 5'10".

2nd floor:Hardware, ladies lingerie. Oh, Mr.Bono/The Edge/Mullen/Clayton... going down?

[Ms The Edge]

Although wouldn't it be awesome if he really WAS, because that would put Edge at something like 6', and I could die happy.

YouTube - Aerosmith - Love In An Elevator

 

[Thora]

And he isn't wrinkle-free either! I don't think wrinkles are a bad thing at all, but come on, silly article writer!

 

[daygloeyes2]

There is no way that man is 5'10".

Maybe with platforms?

 

[corianderstem]

I dunno. I'm such a bad judge of someone's actual height, but 5'10" seems really wrong to me!

 

[Ms The Edge]

Do you think that's how the interviewer got the article? "I'll say you're like... REALLY TALL in person! And no wrinkles! And that you can FLY!"

 

[zuropa_fit]

I dunno. I'm such a bad judge of someone's actual height, but 5'10" seems really wrong to me!

That would make him 8" taller than I am and, while he wasn't next to me for long, he was not 8" taller than I am.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm looking at my own picture, and yes, he's wearing the creepers, and yes, he's taller than me, I'm in the same boat - that ain't no 8" taller!

 

[bonoishot]

Do you think that's how the interviewer got the article? "I'll say you're like... REALLY TALL in person! And no wrinkles! And that you can FLY!"

I'm 5'3" and he wasn't much taller than me.

He'd LOVE to be 5'10".

 

[zuropa_fit]

Do you think that's how the interviewer got the article? "I'll say you're like... REALLY TALL in person! And no wrinkles! And that you can FLY!"

and he can shoot lightning bolts out his arse!
and, with apologies to the writers of Braveheart, I'm out, y'all!

 

[bonoishot]

Gonna head off to bed soon. Don't wanna fall asleep in the theatre tommorow.

Night girls. :Wave:

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

These four "adults" would like to welcome us to adulthood (they WERE all 18+ when this was taken, right?)

I wasn't born yet

I'm crossing my fingers she'll say yes. I'll be taking most of the month of Dec off, if this works. I have the vacation time available to be used, it's just making sure that they'll be okay without me for 3 weeks. Christmas generally is pretty quiet, so knock on wood. I'm going to speak with her later this afternoon about all this.

Hope you get the time off you need

"Love in an Elevator....me and Wild nearly went down with Larry Mullen..........."

THUD

 

[Thora]

All vacation time is officially approved!

Now to start earnestly looking for my flights!

 

[VintagePunk]

Back from the motherfucking bank.

I just can't perv on Baby U2! That elevation era pic, though...

Ohhhh, I can. They were legal, and actually quite a bit older than me, at the time, so, it's all good to me.

Spoiler

And for the record? Baby Bono would have been a wild man. What he lacked in technique back then, I have a feeling he would have more than made up for that in enthusiasm.

nice pic Gg.

I'm finally gathering all my U2 tickets for next year. Found them all, I think.

This implies that you lost track of your tickets, at some point!

Ok, I am confused.

From the Age article-


Isn't 178 cm 70 inches? As in 5'10"? As in my height? As in... a height that Bono totally is NOT?

NO WAY. I'd say around 5'7" and even that's probably a bit generous. But then, that same dude said he's wrinkle-free, too, so...

Gonna head off to bed soon. Don't wanna fall asleep in the theatre tommorow.

Night girls. :Wave:

NOOOO, I wanted to talk to you! Damn me trying to be all adult-like. I'll PM later, though.

 

[VintagePunk]

I make myself laugh when I type things in a hurry, sometimes. Rereading the above, it sort of sounds like either I aged faster, or they aged slower, and we've caught up to each other now. Or something.

You get your Adulthood Trophy!

I'd never thought about THAT about BabyBono. I REALLY need to get to work on that time machine!

The only way we can solve this height thing once and for all is to get me next to Edge. Preferably with no shoes, for accuracy. And I guess if we're already taking shoes off....

I'm not sure that 3 hrs arguing about U2 and then 1 hr running errands quite qualifies for adulthood awards, but I'll take it.

I think about that more often than is healthy, probably.

Spoiler

Look at those crazy, super-intense eyes, and the way he moves.

Well yeah, the best benchmark from which to figure out Bono's height would definitely be measuring you and Edge, shoeless.

Actually, Lola Cashman's diary/notebook was auctioned last winter, and it had their measurements in it, there was a thread in Pleba, and she had Bono listed as 5'7", if I remember correctly. Of course that spawned a huge debate about whether or not that was shoeless, and I think most came to the conclusion that it would have been.

I saved the image of the page, I'll look for it...

 

[Ms The Edge]

BTW, VP, don't tell your kitty, but I think BonoCat might be cheating on her.

 

[VintagePunk]

eta - the best we could figure out, that would have been from the late 80s or early 90s - I think she worked for them in the Zoo era.

 

[Ms The Edge]

Notice the lack of height listed for Edge. I obviously need to go do some highly scientific studies.

 

[VintagePunk]

BTW, VP, don't tell your kitty, but I think BonoCat might be cheating on her.

Oh noez!! I'm sure that was planted after he went to sleep! Yeah, that must be it.

 

[Ms The Edge]

Also: Edge has bigger feet.

 

[corianderstem]

Why do I feel the urge to go and make Bono a suit now?

Who the hell is Ephraim Lewis?

 

[Ms The Edge]

Bono's height looks like it was written in later- nobody else has anything on the line under their name, and the "e" in height is different from the other handwriting. Ooooh, conspiracy!
