40-ft. lemon appreciation thread

[typhoon]

Inspired by the PropzMart thread.

Civilization has been on a marked decline since this thing stopped touring the world, reflecting its glorious light upon millions. If you gaze into the 40-ft. tall mirror ball disco lemon, the 40-ft. tall mirror ball disco lemon gazes also into you. It's...mesmerizing, really.

It was used in 95 PopMart shows, and it only failed during one of them. That's a 98.94% success rate, easily making it one of the most reliable forms of transportation ever devised, ever.

Fact: thousands die in Africa every day.

Fact: such parts of Africa weren't hit by the PopMart Tour.

I'm not saying there's any connection.

But it's something to think about.

To all the detractors who ask, "why a 40-ft. lemon?", I say: why not a 40-ft. lemon?

I mean, what else should they have used? A 40-ft. avocado? Now that's just ridiculous.

Lemon rocks, even if we're talking about the song or the 40ft lemon

And the fact that it would get stuck once proves that even the greatest band in the world is not exempt from a Spinal Tap moment.

So, you've gotta figure this thing is laying around in an abandoned warehouse somewhere. Who wants to go on a raid with me?

and adam clayton would say: "it's the transport of the future, it holds three adults and a child. it's got reflective panals to keep out unwanted radiation."- Adam Clayton
