How about the Big Sicy, as a tribute to her for sitting at her computer for the past 8 years, I mean she's given up alot, why not show some respect?

You looking for a date or a free premium membership?

Or a BAN.

It's quite obvious to me that intelligent heads have prevailed here, and that U2 have finally taken inspiration from the mind-bending and POLITICALLY INSIGHTFUL show Battlestar Galactica. Because if that crab thingy doesn't look like a Cylon base ship then I don't know what does.

True. Also looks just like a walking scarab from Halo, but that's just too nerdy.

ya, it was his first post i had read. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Just saw some others. apparently I was wrong

"the rotating vision obstructer"

What do you think? I'm so excited knowing no matter where i sit, there's a good chance i'll now get to enjoy a huge pole in my way off and on, cool, and thanks for continuing to fix things that aren't broken U2.

Just to clear things up here.. the 'crab'.. 'claw'.. 'spider' or whatever you want to call it, will not be rotating around the stage. I'm not sure where you got this idea, but it's physically impossible to create a temporary structure this large in a stadium and make it rotate.

The Cash Vacuum.

It quickly and efficiently separates filthy cash from the grateful multitudes. (And I count myself among them.)

I'm calling it Robo-Crab. You guys call it what you want.

Well done!

 

[kingofsorrow]

call it "enterprise"

While "Guantaflope" may not be the best name for a giant, 360-degree stage, it would be an EXCELLENT name for a rock band.


Think about it.

I propose the "Feztent"

as in Fez- and Tent (cause it kind of looks like some sort of tent)

and feztent isnt too long to write and cannot be confused with anything else.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Or how about the Crab Shack? To incorporate the tent idea.

I dont know... that sounds like a seafood restaurant "Hey want to go to the crab shack?" lol

I still am sticking with Feztent!
