Don't forget the Gimme Shelter coke cutting goodness.

The tracking shot is awesome and one of the best, but it still bugs me that they walk in a complete circle around the kitchen and pretty much exit beside the door they entered through.

Now go get your fucking shinebox

*THATS IT!!*

You know, I don't think I ever noticed they went in a circle. Huh.
 
"I want you to know that you have a WHORE living in your building!! Janis Rossi! WHORE!"


I wonder if some irate wife ever did that in the apartment building where Lance grew up.
 
You'd think I'd have learned by now to just walk away from stupid arguments about U2 that make me want to fling puppies. And I have gotten better about just rolling my eyes and walking away, for the most part.

But my god, that whole "long hair = good sales" thing .... if you are discussing it without the barest hint of a wink or a smirk to acknowledge the ridiculousness of it, then I .... I JUST CAN'T EVEN.

I lose brain cells every time I allow myself to let that sort of nonsense piss me off. You'd think that would be some sort of deterrent.
 
You think I'd learn to stay out of EYKIW long enough to not be involved in the arguments that make Alicia want to fling puppies, but here I am, empathizing.

I can't believe some of the shit people buy into. Pretty soon, fans will be throwing matches at Edge to see if he really is that flammable.
 
I was so relieved when you responded as well. Thanks for the back-up. ;)

That one particular poster is, like, my kryptonite. I cannot seem to just ignore him, even though he says things on a consistent basis that just make me have that "WHAT? You cannot possibly think that!" reaction There's always the one who rubs you the wrong way whatever they say, and you just cannot stay silent.

Such is life Interference.
 
I'm (clearly) not above getting into retarded arguments, but some of the 'discussion' that goes on in that part of the forum blows my mind
 
Some days, it really seems like an alternate universe. As if Lewis Carroll stayed alive long enough to smoke blue crack and write another book.

How is Bono like a writer's block?
 
Oh hell, I missed the first day of E3.

EDIT: Wait, no I didn't.

EDIT: It's a dark day when I'm too lazy to leave a thread.
 
I do believe there's a correlation between 50 year-olds wearing eyeliner and poor album sales.

NLOTH might have flopped even harder had Bono stuck with it.
 
That's the funniest part. Bono grows long hair at this age, he will likely look supremely ridiculous.

Are all "the kids" U2 is trying to rope in going to say "Hey, that guy has long hair. He is so cool, and I am going to buy illegally download their hip new record with lots of hits."

Or will they say "That guy is trying so hard to look cool that I'm not even going to bother illegally downloading their album. It is truly the saddest thing I've seen, at least since last week when someone on Facebook posted that picture of an otter holding a dead baby bird."

As a partaker of Pleba, I don't think the look caused much of a stirring of nether regions.

Reactions ranged from horror to some puzzled shrugging.

It's ironic. Most of us silly girls want him to take off the sunglasses ...... but if that's the alternative, it's fine for him to just keep them on.
 
Today, I took a piss in the woods behind a hospital and nearly feel asleep driving my car. I really need to re-evaluate some of my life decisions.

As someone who hardly, if ever, ventures into The Other Place™, I had to go searching for the thread which contained this utterly ridiculous hair conversation.

I eventually found it, had a good laugh, but I also left The Other Place™ learning a few things that I didn't know before. For example, there's a conservative majority on the site. Who knew?!
 
I graduated from high school 10 years ago today.

I have done absolutely fuck-all since then. In a way, that sort of feels like an accomplishment.
 
I think Elizabeth Shue dancing in her underwear at the beginning of Adventures in Babysitting was an important part of my sexual awakening.

Whether its the band's own statements or the long wait between releases driving the fanbase crazy, having so much U2 discussion revolve around earnestly debating the right attitude and relation to the mainstream makes my brain melt. It's like reading 90% of the media's Presidential horse-race coverage, where its not about the thing itself, it's about the response to the coverage of the thing.
 
That hair discussion sounds...eeeesh. And yet every time I hear about these discussions going on there I feel compelled to give them a read. I don't know why.

It'll be ten years next year for me.

I'm in the same boat as you. Go, us! Or something.

This coming July does mark 10 years since I joined this site, though. Which makes me feel even older, for some reason.
 
Coming up on 8 years for me in August. Crazy shit.

That number is pretty meaningless here in B&C though. New members generally don't contribute anything over here, so it's pretty much all Interf old-timers. This is where the old and jaded come to exchange war stories about Powerjuice and PLEBA fan fic porn of yesteryear.
 
I joined in 2002, I guess, but really didn't start posting until 2004. Even though I hardly ever posted, I knew this had to be my first stop on my HOLY SHIT I MET BONO internet tour.

Worst decision I ever made, because I never left. :wink:
 
Seven years for me this year (the 04 in my name was meant to be 05 for the year, guess I made a typo) and now over 30k posts.

What's the polar opposite of pride?
