Also, one time on a marching band trip, my friend Rhett and I were blasting out U2 tunes, and someone yells "turn down that Tom Petty shit!" Then I tried to explain to them the difference between U2 and Tom Petty, and the guy said "who cares they both suck. Turn it off!" They wanted to sing hymns instead.

Okay...as a self-proclaimed U2 and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fan...note to that person who yelled that to you:

first off, there's a big difference between U2 and Tom Petty,

and second...

U2 AND TOM PETTY DO NOT SUCK! THEY BOTH RULE!

So that person can put that in his pipe and smoke it.

Hmph.

*Notices everyone looking at her oddly*

Sorry.

kristie's floor reminded me of the cartoon-y looking band member pictures i drew...i've got about 12 different elevation era edge cartoon kind of drawings in a desk drawer at home...and a few of everyone else...none of them have feet cos i can't draw feet...

and i believe that there might be a still-headless elevation era adam c

Hey, what instrument did you play? I was a boner myself.
I like Tom Petty, and we would sometimes play his music too. I think that people assumed that no matter what we played on that bus, they thought it was Tom Petty. But when someone knocks U2, my defenses go up. The raises on the back of my neck. My mind races to find things on which to return the feeling they have just brought on me!

I Played sax. See my avatar! It's me!! I play clarinet now too. I am a junior in high school now..so i have one more year left in marching band, and i'm gonna play clarinet Yeah people on my bus on band trips love Chicago, Queen and Boston..along with Linkin Park and Sugar Ray as i mentioned above..Everyone makes fun of my music!! And i get crazy defending them! but in the end..who cares? they're the ones missing out on the real music!

 

[AdamsMango]

oh fuck me, that reminds me, my FLOOR
okay the floor beats the sock puppets... I spent 5 hours a day for an entire month painting my floor.
Pictures of which will not be seen here to spare those with dial-up.... *whips up a quick web page*
Floor can be seen here:

I was a band nerd for 8 years, I played flute. I was surrounded by a lot of prissy girls with attitudes But I had a blast with band in high school on the trips and all. I almost never play me flute anymore. But I've taken up the bass, so it's not like I've given up on music or anything.

 

[IWasBored]

bass is cooler than flute anyway

To all you band geeks.......I'm gonna start a Bank Geek thread in the Lemonade Stand. Come check it out, and we can share marching band stories. I'd love to hear some new band stories, cause I think I've heard all the ones everyone around my area has to offer. Come over and check it out.

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

yeah just a little


as for dorky u2 things. Me and Minifly made a kermit the frog stuffed animal into Kermit the Edge, damn i know I've done lots of other retarded things but i just can't think of them at the moment.



I present to you.....Kermit the Edge!

 

[IWasBored]

does any one have any idea why my computer doesn't let me save paint files as jpegs anymore

*blows up computer*

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Kristie, that floor of yours is sweet ass! .

And I like the U2 wall that was shown in this thread, too-also like the one that had U2 lyrics on it and all that good stuff.

Sometime I'm hoping to start doing things like that to my wall.

Can't really do anything to my floor, though-it's carpet.

When I was in Dublin last year and went by The Clarence and Kitchen I had to take a picture of the no parking sign in honor of Edge's car getting towed. I had completely forgotten about the whole car-towing incident until I was around back of the hotel, I saw the sign and started laughing, so ridiculous. I am very glad that the street was deserted and no one was there to see me laughing at a no parking sign.

What a fantastic topic. Mine might not sound so bad but I suffered at the time. When I was younger I was singer in a metal band and all the other guys were into metallica and maiden. Anyway, for our first (and penultimate) gig we all decided to wear our denim jackets full of sewn on patches of our heavy metal heros. When I turned up I'd nailed my colours to the mast and had all U2 patches sewn to the jacket. I almost got lynched but still played the show with it on.

EXCUSE ME, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MY SHIRT??

Number one:

spent Thanksgiving break driving to and from Lincoln, Nebraska (12 hrs each way), waiting 24 hours in line (sleeping on cold cement in the below freezing wind) with a $100 scalped ticket (original price = free) to see Bono.

um...yeah....and then, less than a week later, driving down to louisville (about 8 hours each way) without even having tickets to try and see bono...cept this time i was successful...

and i'd like to add that we listened to u2 for the vast majority of the trip to nebraska, 12 hours straight on the way back, and both ways to and from louisville......

k, then there's always the things like:

~the fact that i didn't wash the part of my cheek that bono kissed for a week after the fact.....
~talking more to my online u2 fans then my actual "real life" friends
~making u2-opoly...cept we only got so far as to make little u2 members out of clay...
~spouting out u2 facts to anyone and everyone if they apply in the slightest way to anything going on in the conversation at hand...
~um...i have a poster hanging in my room, which was originally written so that we would recognize an internet u2 fan at the train station when we went to visit her in chicago, and it reads "don't let the bastards hoe you down"...and the subsequent number of hoedowns involved.....
~walking up to a random guy in hard rock just cause he's wearing an elevation shirt...and asking him about his fandom...
~singing along to every u2 song i ever hear...causing a random stranger next to me to point and laugh ...
~one word: julio

and the list could go on...but....i think that the pizza guy one wins...

Re: EXCUSE ME, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN MY SHIRT??

~one word: julio

I HAVE to come this year! lol

The facts thing, I do it so much that recently, when i start commenting .....my friends are like "is it a U2 thing again?"

by the way, not only singing along, trying to immitate the video along with it!!!

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

BWAHA, Julio!

~making u2-opoly...cept we only got so far as to make little u2 members out of clay...

YAY U2-opoly!

Whaddya mean my camera sucks ASS?

Again, guilty as charged...it doesn't matter what it is that's being discussed, I'll find some way to incorporate something U2-related into the conversation.

Angela

 

[IWasBored]

is that clay bono standing on top of the lemon?

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

Why yes, yes it is.

But WAIT, there's MORE crappy pictures!

Weird? Why yes, yes we are.

 

[IWasBored]

nah...it's COOL!

HAHA
..not that I dance like MacPhisto when singing Lemon.

and this subject title is making me snort

 

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

Bonochick, I'm impressed by your U2 wall.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Those little U2-opoly things are seriously cute!

I want some!

Bonochick, I'm impressed by your U2 wall.

Yeah.

That U2 wall looks awesome, Bonochick, really, it does. Very creative.

Here's another one-decorating the back of your geometry book cover with various things that relate to U2, such as the Macphisto symbol thingy from the HMTMKMKM video (that one with the black outline of Macphisto's head against the yellow background), making a little fire picture to symbolize "The Unforgettable Fire", and a sun to symbolize "Staring At The Sun", a pumpkin for "October", a drawing of a boy, a little tree, and so on and so forth (I started on that this afternoon, once it's fully done I'll try and get a picture of it up here somehow if anyone wants to see it).

And also, writing U2 quotes anywhere possible-inside your notebooks, on your trappers and folders, on book covers, etc.-and on the back board in your AP Government class (my teacher allowed us, at the end of the semester-long class, to put up famous political-minded quotes from anyone we wanted on the back board in the room, and I put up a snippet of Bono's speech from the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" performance-then some right-wing kid in the class started going off about how he didn't like Bono and all that-I just tuned him out).

Angela

 

[IWasBored]

how'd you manage to tune out the kid going on about how he didn't like bono?

i had the HMTMKMKM macphisto symbol thingie on a notebook and someone said "i think there's something wrong with your batman logo. it's supposed to look like a BAT."
