Oh. Do you have any of these transcribed?
Nope. Should probably get the boots and add that kind of data to the site.

Not as confused as the residents of Hartford would be!
I like how he talks about the glorious land of the long white cloud in NZ, but for the Adelaide concert I think he just sang about getting an ice cream at Glenelg.

He'd even seemed to learn some Maori! I remember one line mentioned "aroha", Maori for love. I don't think the Aussie ones were entirely planned, but he'd rehearsed the Kiwi one. Those two gigs seemed to mean a fair bit to Bono.
Doesn't that conjure Satan in the form of Jason Donovan or something?
Incidentally ...

ARGH!!!
God, it was in Melbourne, too.

How do we pronounce this place, anyway? E'tterby?
Hey, that's cool. I would have liked to have seen him speaking an Aboriginal language, since he's mad for linguistics, but I suppose the amount of them would have been too overwhelming, not to mention finding good resources for area specific ones can difficult if you're just passing through (although Bono probably has this language dictionary vending machine at his house). Also, it could have been rather patronising. I suppose the yirdaki made up for it.
The science nerd in me approves of this location This is where the element Ytterbium was found for the first time!
Ali and I discovered it a few days ago when I was trying to find the most metal-sounding metal to be the title of my next Desert Island game entry. I told her she simply had to take us to Ytterby sometime.
A language dictionary vending machine? I want one of those.
And yeah, it would have been pretty cool if he could've done something, but certainly he would've had to go to some planning to get it right. I suppose the Aussie shows got the Aboriginal nod from Moriarty on the didgeridoo during Kite anyhow.
So how does this sound metal-ish?
btw did ya'll see they renamed pittsburgh sixburgh this year in honor of the steelers' 6th win? can we go to the same place twice if it has a new name?
By the way, I love the Pittsburgh Penguins logo.
Oh, I think we decided the most metal name for a metal is Tungsten. I also like Scandium.
But we just thought Ytterby would be a great nerdy Superthread location.
Me too! Shit, they better have one on Yobbos Coming Up With Invention Things next time I turn on ABC.
Yeah, I kind of imagine Aboriginal languages are typically harder to speak than Maori (not that I've had much experience, but just comparing Maori with some local language groups I'd probably have a lot of trouble with names of things if I didn't grow up here). Speaking of which, I'd love to learn Maori. I'm more attracted to lesser spoken native languages that have been unfortunately deteriorated by invading forces than the big ones, I guess.
I said 'yirdaki' in place of didgeridoo - forgive me, that was rather PC. Didgeridoo just sort of bothers me though, since it supposedly doesn't come from an Aboriginal language and the meaning was actually originally a criticism of its sound (it is an "infernal didgery"). I'm not sure, I don't really care but I prefer saying the Yolngu yirdaki nowadays, maybe just to sound like a stupid wisearse.
By the way, I love the Pittsburgh Penguins logo.
i dunno, ican't imagine anyone who identifies as a pittsburghian wouldn't be a steelers fan. it's not like ny or whatever wher eyou've got a lot of people from all over the place with their own allegiances. but i could be wrong.I thought that was pretty cool. I wonder how non-Steelers fans in Pittsburgh thught of it... extra pain?
