Shuttlecock! Part IV - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Cock Crazy Tonight

[corianderstem]

I think I looked at it once. I don't even know that I looked at the JT reissue book. But that's a different situation, because it was worth it for the remastered CD, the bonus tracks and the DVD.

 

[impy13]

Well, the thing that's keeping me from getting the remasters on vinyl for their awesome packaging is the fact that I already own them. Hell, I've purchased every 80s album twice.

So I downloaded the remastered audio for my computer/iPod/iPhone and I don't even feel bad about it.

I have self-diagnosed tendinitis in my hand. I blame 'Cock and each and every one of you cocksuckers.

/random unsolicited health update

I have tendinitis in each of my wrists because of the cock (and in my elbow because of its female counter part - are you fuckin' there yet?).

Ambidextrous.

Apparently I'm the only one who loved the Deluxe Edition book for Atomic Cock. Not what I would expect from them at all. A nice combination of the personal and the political musings from Bono, I thought Edge's statistics and drawings were thought-provoking. I also loved opening one side of the book with the Oppenheimer quote, the other with the Gandhi quote. The DVD was pretty weak though.

Also, I don't feel guilty for not having bought Get On Your Cocks when I'm planning on buying either the Deluxe set with the magazine or the book. Now if I was going to buy the rest of the album digitally then maybe (as iTunes deducts what you've already paid from the price of the album), but I'll be damned if I'm paying for that song twice with all the money I've already poured into their coffers.

Someone said a while back that it would have been cool if they released this single for free. Guess that wasn't going to happen on McCockne$$'s watch.

And the damn HTDAAC book doesn't fit in my cd cabinet, so I had to put the cd in a jewel case anyway.


Freakin' new Bruce deluxe (which was cheaper on Tower.com than the regular edition) is too big for the cd cabinet as well.

There have been so many Shuttlecock reviews lately that I'm starting to wonder if a leak will happen sooner than expected now.

I'm thinking the same. Of course, in 2004, not every jackass with time to kill had a blog either, so you can't really compare it to previous releases.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I love it already just based on the fact that the site is called Perfectly Cromulent.

that review embiggened my spirit!

 

[Lila64]

that review embiggened my spirit!

is that even a word?

 

[lazarus]

I hope so, because I just bought a product that was advertised on the TV as being able to embiggen the Cock.

 

[impy13]

What, like turning a 7" into a 12"?

 

[lazarus]

Like the guy with the $3000 cock is going to pay for something like that.

COME ON!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I still haven't even opened the Joshua Tree box set thingy, so this makes me think shelling out what could pay a bill for another box of stuff I'll never look at.

Can you imagine how jealous that would make her? "Where's Impy?" "Oh he's just sharing a romantic horseback ride with Laz and they're dipping each other in..." oh, you didn't get any body chocolate.

I'm afraid that I prematurely blew my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run. Now I've got a bit of a mess on my hands.

 

[lazarus]

It's not waiting for the album that's intolerable, it's having to witness all the repetitious, inane threads that keep getting created in WTAHAN. Hey guys, let me pose a question or make a statement that's been covered like 10 times already in various other threads. You know, because I'd rather open my fat mouth and be heard than take the time to read or look up what's already been said.

should I look back to see what prompted this quote???

 

[impy13]

"my fat mouth"

So now Boner posts in there?

25 pages of what's already been said.

Watch Arrested Development.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I found this over in WTAHAN and thought it was cool, it's three Brazilian dudes covering Sexy Cocks. I think it's a damn good cover and watching it got me pumped to see the real thing on Sunday at the Grammys. I think this song could turn out to be a really killer live track on the tour.

Watch Arrested Development.

And second-of-ly, I know you're supposed to be the "big marriage expert;" oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your wife is dead!

I got the U2 copy of Q magazine today, apparently before anyone else in the US ... at least to hear about it on this site.

Pike Place Market news/magazine stand RULES. It rules very, very hard.

Why is Boner so happy in this photo? Contrary to popular belief, his smile is due to his spotting a brand new Golden Corral on the waterfront.

 

[lazarus]

Imagine how fat he would look if those stripes were horizontal...

 

[phillyfan26]

I never would have noticed Boner's weight if it weren't for Interference.

 

[No spoken words]

Sorry, some of my students are arguing the significance of the shankbone on the seder plate. But we do not - not wag our genitals at one another to make a point.

NO TOUCHING!

No touching!

"OK, then have sex with this girl right now. Go on. Have some sex with her."

Well you just tell GOB there's a nice hard cot here with his name on it!

You'd do that to your own brother?

... I said COT!
