Shuttlecock XXI: Laz is Bigger Than Anyone in His Way

[corianderstem]

He's said he doesn't want to get into the "soap opera" of it, but that might just means that he knows fans will just be all over it. Like if it was a heart attack, people will forever be playing internet doctor and saying "oh, he shouldn't be drinking/smoking/going back to the buffet 8 times!!!!"

Although people already do that now.

 

[lazarus]

Do you fucking know how to use spoilers?

Looks like a no

lol Cobbler strikes again.

I don't know what you're talking about...

 

[corianderstem]

Bono knows that you know. And Bono judges you.

Exactly what I was trying to get at. Like, if he runs around on stage, will fans be like, "Oh, please settle down and sing this with as little stress as possible"?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I get that part... It just seems a little weird that he's all "hey guys I almost died, here's an album about almost dying, here's the opening of a tour in front of 20,000 people about almost dying and here's a bunch of press quotes about almost dying"

"Sheesh that's awful, what happened?"

"Hey that's private!"

 

[corianderstem]

I get it, but I also get deciding to make art out of it but hold back that one piece for yourself. I think even Bono has to keep some things for himself.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Maybe if y'all didn't give him a complex about how fucking fat he is he would open up more.

 

[PhilsFan]

I generally refrain from those types of jokes and have ever since I realized I more or less have the same build he had in his mid-20s, and the same drinking habit. I can see the future.

 

[corianderstem]

As a gal with a belly, I can relate to any self-consciousness the man may have about his middle.

I think they're silly (as opposed to mean) because he's so obviously NOT fat. It feels like more of another Interference in-joke than mean-spirited fat jokes.

Maybe because I don't want to know if they ARE coming from a mean place, since then I'd start telling people to fuck off.

No one likes Crarky Coriander. (It tastes like soap.)

That's my perspective on it. Its just in good fun like jokes about Larry being angry etc.
No real malicious intent.

Indeed.

 

[cobl04]

definitely. he's absolutely not fat at all.

 

[Hewson]

He's festively plump.

 

[corianderstem]

Stocky Irish build.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Big Bono's Are Best

 

[corianderstem]

Short and stout.

Like Winnie the Pooh!

 

[Axver]

Yes, Bono does take a short time to drink a stout.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Short and stout.

Like Winnie the Pooh!

Is Edge Eeyore?

 

[corianderstem]

That's grumpy Larry, silly!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That's grumpy Larry, silly!

Ahhhhhh. Obvi

 

[lazarus]

I think even Bono has to keep some things for himself.

Like the aforementioned buffet?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Like the aforementioned buffet?

Hiyooooo

 

[corianderstem]

I mean, I get it. If someone tried to tear me away from a cheese buffet, I'd claw their eyes out.

And also steal their wallet.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's the chicken wings that give you away
The last at the buffet
Your big ass in the way
It's the chicken wings you eat every day
Please don't ask me how much I now weigh
It's the chicken wings
The chicken wings that give you away

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Sometimes
Can't fight my hunger's insistence
I see my pants from a distance
I can't get back inside

Next up: Summer of Lard

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I've been thinking bout some french toast

 

[DaveC]

and maybe some potatoooes

 

[brooklynmike]

Sometimes
I eat at 4 in the morning
When all my family is snoring
A grilled steak lightly seared
