Shuttlecock XXVII: To Returned Cocks We Run!

[Irvine511]

i will say that the funniest answer to any question tonight was the following, and keep in mind that it was a gay bar.


Q: Into what body of water did the Exxon Valdez spill out all it's oil?

A: The Prince Albert Sound.


(real answer: prince william sound)

 

[Irvine511]

Fire and Gloria, correct?

yes!

at first i said, "Gloria and Rejoice!" but then i thought better.

I know WAY too much about U2. I probably could have answered the singles and order of release for every album (aside from Boy, which blurs with the pre-album singles).

people were all like, "isn't it Pride?" and i was all like, "no, fucktards!" and then i showed them the pictures i took on my BB from the Charlottesville show where i was 4 deep from the rail on Adam's side and i have semi-coherent and pretty close shots of Larry and Edge

, and they all backed the fuck off and were like, "ok, Irvine, it's clear you can be trusted on this topic."

"40" was a single in Germany, if I'm not mistaken. "Hands," "Electrical Storm" were, too. And "Miss Sarajevo" is conditional on whether or not you consider it a 'Cock release.

Well done though. I'm the same way with directors' filmographies.

You missed A Celebration.

 

[Irvine511]

You missed A Celebration.

i believe in the powers that be / but they won't overpower me!

[phanan]

It's all sorts of awesome.

And the video cracks me up.

I'm totally cooking when I get a down week. I've been wanting to make apple crisp for the longest time.

TWO WEEKS.

April, LOVE the new avatar. So pretty.

 

[phillyfan26]

I was mostly focused on the albums, and only did the pre-album singles to sort out that and Boy in my mind. It hadn't dawned on me to do the other singles.

Thanks. Audrey

I am insanely jealous of the first part of your post, but I hope you all have an amazing time.

I just registered for this:

Headless Horseman 5K

I finish moving that morning and this is later that same day. These distractions will help me from thinking about how awesome Vegas would have been. *sniff*

 

[LMP]

It's all sorts of awesome.

And the video cracks me up.

"Let's run around a prison, open doors, and turn into beams of light. That sounds like a fantastic idea!"

My favorite early video is still "The Unforgettable Fire."

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Bono's Mullet ftw!

 

[LMP]

The Mullet, Bono watching over everyone like a creep, Adam's duster, Edge getting stuck in the snow again, literally showing a carnival...

 

[phillyfan26]

Pretty much anything Bono did up until the Joshua Tree was unintentionally hilarious.

 

[u2popmofo]

TWO WEEKS.

Yes, that is a very nice Grizzly Bear song.

Heyo!
