The Octagon Bar: Hello Hello--The Tour Is Going To Be Called Vertigo!

[U2democrat]

that was hilarious.





by the way stars i've been a bad bad girl i may have to send you a PM....

 

[Merc]

Is it just me or I am the only one who instantly thinks of that crazy giant dancing Elmo when she hears Vertigo now?

I wish someone in the U2 camp would see it... It would make quite an opening act!

 

[U2democrat]

ah yes U2 and their opening act...the giant dancing elmo.

 

[Merc]

ah yes U2 and their opening act...the giant dancing elmo.

It would fit nicely with their encore: A rockstar is a person in your neighbourhood...

 

[U2democrat]

nice. though something tells me we won't be seeing a giant dancing elmo on the tour.............

 

[starsgoblue]

(imagines Bono coming running onto the stage in an Elmo costume to the start of Vertigo)

Maybe he'd let me tickle him

I already said in PLEBA there's $50 for anyone who goes to a show in an Elmo costume and has photographic proof.

 

[U2democrat]

niiiiiice. we'd know right away that its a fellow PLEBAn!

**Wonders where she can rent an Elmo costume in this city **

 

[starsgoblue]

Imagine what Bono'd would do if he saw someone in a giant Elmo costume bopping around? It would be too bizzare for him to ignore it.....

 

[Merc]

Imagine actually going to a concert in such a costume... and then being taken on stage by Bono for a dance!

 

[starsgoblue]

He could tickle me.

 

[Merc]

He could tickle me.

 

[U2democrat]

you should go in an elmo costume with a big sign that said "tickle me bono!"

 

[nurse chrissi]

rebekah - how is the u2.com thing going?

 

[ewen]

don't tempt me.....it's something i'd do.


edited to add: dress as Elmo as a dare that is

 

[Merc]

Ops, it's getting late here...

Have to go - see you all tomorrow!

 

[starsgoblue]

don't tempt me.....it's something i'd do.

(chants) Do it! Do it! Do it!

 

[ewen]

i know this version of the Octagon is coming to a close in the next day or so, so I'm asking my fellow Octaganarians can I please start the new one? i've got ideas see

 

[U2democrat]

edit: i have no idea what i just did.

 

[ewen]

think i'll skip the "tickle me bono!" part

 

[U2democrat]

aww come on ewen!

 

[starsgoblue]

Wuss!

 

[ewen]

getting an Elmo suit in the UK will be near impossible, some kind American Octaganarians can arrange for the hire of an Elmo suit for me if I come over for a US show.

I can see the headlines already....."crazy, Elmo suited Scotsman arrested in Philly for hounding Bono for tickles"

 

[starsgoblue]

Ooh I like the sound of that!


So you are strongly considering Philie then!

 

[nurse chrissi]

I can see the headlines already....."crazy, Elmo suited Scotsman arrested in Philly for hounding Bono for tickles"

that would be excellent - I'm sure that we would all collect money for bail

 

[ewen]

So you are strongly considering Philie then!

did you no read my long winded response this morning? don't make me go through all that again! lol

 

[neutral]

ah yes U2 and their opening act...the giant dancing elmo.

This is a lovely idea. Maybe we should start a petition.

 

[U2democrat]

oy ice is collecting on powerlines.

 

[starsgoblue]

Hell...I'd do it. As long as that wasn't the only concert I got to go to. I'd probably do it after at least one...in case they banned me.
