Shuttlecock XXIX: You Snooze, You Get a Boring Thread Title

[BoMac]

My mom is making her dislike of Obama clearly known through the use of many Facebook polls.

Mom, don't make me regret friending you!

PS: stop forwarding me those shitty political emails. You stopped before after I'd asked you not to send them. Did you forget I don't agree with your politics, or are you trying to influence my political leanings, like I'd forget why I asked you to stop sending them to me?

Ugh, I hate it when people do that. A friend of mine kept doing that for months over Facebook and emails. I finally had to send her an email saying I didn't appreciate her hate-filled rants, and was going to block her email (I wanted to give her one last chance, because despite that she is a really cool person). Thankfully she got emails and posts on her FB page from a bunch of other people who were sick of her rants, and she's kept her thoughts about Obama to herself since then.

Huh - apparently Obama is spelled wrong, according to the spell check here.

OH NO, YOU'RE SOCIALISTS!!11111!!!!!!

Obama just wants everyone to quit stallin' and pass their marks.

If I have 2 pre-sale codes left... should I be using them? Anaheim 2? I can't afford to, and the distance, school day, etc. Will they be wasted since there's not many more pre-sales left? What to do what to do...

 

[corianderstem]

Phew, got my 4 Seattle GAs after a minor freak-out about that stupid Visa Verify thing.

I ordered 2 GAs on my debit card (not enough money in the bank account right now to get all 4) and then got on the phone with my credit card, and they helped me figure out why the Verify process wasn't working, and then I was able to go back and get the other 2 tickets.

YAY.

 

[Thora]

I have no good suggestions, Lila. It sucks to not know what to do.

Apparently since I bought my Vegas tickets thru UNLV, I might still be able to use my code for the presale tomorrow morning. If it does work, I'll probably give the code to someone else after I get mine, as I'll only be getting one ticket this time.


ETA - hooray for the tickets, cori!

I think everyone should come to the Oakland show. I mean, it's the 16th of June. It may even start at 9:05!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

are you paying for it?

 

[Lila64]

 

[Diemen]

are you paying for it?

I wasn't gonna buy just anyone's cockatoo.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Isn't Oakland sold out already anyhow?

 

[Diemen]

Well, technically yes. Are you saying you're not willing to pay $250 for a scalped GA ticket?

You must not even like U2.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm just here to mock BoMac

 

[Jive Turkey]

I think you're confusing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death with Idiot, Jackass, Stupid Twit and Dumb Fuck

Where's Impy's Dawson Gif?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Be quiet, Idiot!

 

[BoMac]

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

he's a good crier...

 

[corianderstem]

Everyone at work is calling me, asking for ticket-buying advice.

One of those Qwest event presale things is floating around, so some of my coworkers got tickets already through that, although I've had to explain to several people that GAs likely aren't available through that presale.

Who else is going to Denver (DIA)?

 

[corianderstem]

The new Rolling Stone has a lovely cover with Mick Jagger in between Bono and Bruce.

I think I'll cut out a picture of my own head and slap it over Mick, because that would be a nice place to be.

Bono looks really hot on the cover.

/shameless drooly faux-PLEBA moment

 

[martha]

Dang. Now I have to back to Target.

I needed more fucking Sudafed anyway.

PIC PLEASE!!!

 

[corianderstem]

I don't have a scanner, alas.

I'm sure someone in the actual PLEBA will have it online as soon as there's even a slight confirmed rumor of its jpg existence.

 

[Lila64]

I'll have to watch my mailbox too, thanks anyways

(hint: Facebook Mobile)

Who else is going to Denver (DIA)?

We are thinking about it.

Got two Seattle GAs today.

 

[martha]

Seattle, Schmeattle.

I'll be in Denver.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

ugh, i wish i'd never bothered getting a u2.com membership. i never got to buy a single ticket with it.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

but you get a free CD!

 

[mad1]

when I saw Bono took persons in front of me in 98 - he scanned us all with his glasses.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

like the Terminator?

 

[mad1]

yeah, he stood back and went left and right a couple of times before comin forward.

I think he was looking for me. I was there, in the nude with BONO I LOVE YOU on my chest, but it was dark, and so, ya know
