Now we are in Howlong, No Spoken Words. It apparently is a bastardisation of Hoolong, meaning "beginning of the plains". It's on the banks of the Murray River, which for such an important and well-known river is a real fucking disappointment when you see it this far upstream.

Cumby, Texas WILL have it's day! *angryfistshake*


j/k

Heh, you've been mentioning that for ages. If I'd seen your post about it before I'd made this thread, I'd have said do it. Let's see if we can get there before #100. :wink:

I'm editing the first post to number the list at the moment ...
 
There we go, the list's numbered.

Not long to go until #100! That'll be over 100,000 posts for the postwhorehouse, folks. :crack:
 
I know. I actually looked the city up again on Google. If this isn't the lamest thing I've ever read, I don't know what is:

Cumby, Texas, Ghost Sightings

Let's get a little realistic with our ghost stories people

Those are just dull! I'm honestly disappointed none of them are "there are reports you can get cum by a ghost". I mean, this is the Internet. It's meant to be crude. Way to let me down, people.

There was ectoplasm EVERYWHERE
 
The possibilities are virtually endless

Oh, we could have fun with this.

I'm imagining LM's epic sig on the front, then on the back:

U2: SAVE THE WHALERS
KUNSTMUSEUM LIECHTENSTEIN
25 FEBRUARY 2008

[Setlist]
 

Aside from the amazing ghost stories of lumberjacks and Huns (HUNS? Really? In Texas? No Joke.) the only thing else about the city is a dispute about the actual population. Wiki first says 616 then it says 816. Another website also says 616, but if that's the case, how does one explain it's population density of 708.1 people per square mile :ohmy:

I'm tempted to say that for Bad, we could customise everybody's t-shirts, add different snippets for inside jokes and stuff. Make mine entire Porcupine Tree albums or something. Put Proud Mary on Ian's. Etc.

It's ... a really compact town?

So compact even that all of the pressure spontaneously creates 70 extra people every 2 seconds. sadly these people immediately die, and were therefore found to be impossible to count in the 2000 census

How about the poor .1 of a person who was still a tenth alive? :wink:

Oh but he's a terrible sight. I'd rather not go into details, suffice it to say he lacks the certain ability to Cumby if you know what I mean
 
Zazzle.com

there's a button at the bottom to view the back. you may have to use the full page feature though to see the back clearly

Awesome! :lmao: I love it!

Though we need LM to provide us with a decent-sized copy of his earlier "U2 was here" Kunstmuseum sig ...

Where the hell has everybody else gone? The last thread was really moving right at the end there.
 
Yes. I was working with what I could find at the moment

I like it a lot :lol:

On an actual shirt, how readable would the setlist on the back be?

We totally need to get a bunch of these made, though. Like Ian, I'd get more than one and wear them all the time.
 
Posting this thread's stats has reminded me we need the last thread's stats!
