If the members of U2 were colours?

[phillyfan26]

There's a difference?

 

[Axver]

I remember it had problems when it came out and a couple of features I didn't like. I can't even remember what they were now, but there was no way I was upgrading from 6!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i don't notice a difference

 

[The Sad Punk]

Come on guys, quit complainin' and getting off topic so we can get back to a serious discussion on what colours represent members of U2 the most!

 

[Axver]

But the Pop cover brought that discussion to a swift conclusion!

 

[Varitek]

WTF, PFan.

1. He's a Philly fan. No matter how badly your sports teams are doing, you should still be able to get him here.

2. I did not intend to start an international spelling bee, I just was making fun of America.

3. So you guys spell grey grey? No wonder I always spell it wrong.

4. My street number is 51. It's pretty logical, except I live next door to like 39...but this comes in handy when they demolish a yard and put in 3 houses...

5. Pfan, you seriously need to download firefox.

6. This is kind of brilliant.

I don't allign myself with America. I allign myself with an American childhood.

 

[Axver]

1.

2. Spelling's fun though. Especially when it's Proper English. 'Manoeuvre' is one of the coolest things.

3. Yep. Though my primary school had a Mrs Gray, which was confusing for little kids.

4. OK, I'd hate to find a house in the US. At least here, you know the first house of a street will be #1 and things will proceed logically from there with odd numbered houses on one side and even numbered houses on the other. It sounds like American numbers don't give you any clue. #694 could be the first house when you turn onto the street or it could be a kilometre away!

5. EVERYBODY needs to download Firefox.

First of all, it would not be a kilometer away but half a mile. Second of all, there's a logic to it often. Either a street is short, like mine, which is 3 blocks, so the fact that it starts at 1 and ends at 300 without having 300 houses isn't a big deal, or the numbers are based on the cross streets but there aren't 100 houses on each blocks, or you ask for directions, or you use mapquest/google maps.

 

[Axver]

Or you just get confused and go on holiday to New Zealand instead.

 

[BEVERLY56]

Do they use the "u" in Canada? Or is that just England that spells "colours" like that?

Well if you don't use the "u", then the band would just be 2.

 

[GibsonGirl]

The entire English-speaking world* spells it "colours."

* Except America. And perhaps other English-speaking countries that are not part of the Commonwealth.

 

[Tiger Edge]

We earned it.

 

[Varitek]

We earned it.

FTW

 

[mad1]

Mine would be:

Bono - Cherry Red
Adam - Soft Sky Blue
Larry - Pink and White
The Edge - a criminal shiny deep purple.

Let's make this easy: anywhere that doesn't use Proper English doesn't count as part of the English speaking world in the first place.

Enjoy your Americanish, Americans!

Watch out, that might catch on. We are the country that named our favorite junk food French Fries and then renamed them because we didn't like the foreign influence.

 

[Axver]

I was disappointed that when I visited the US, I didn't hear a single person call them freedom fries.

 

[Varitek]

What, for Vertigo? You were like 2 years to late.

 

[Axver]

Way to have no staying power, freedom fries!

 

[Varitek]

Yeah it made a big splash but that was about it.

 

[Axver]

Much like American global power in a broader historical context?

 

[Varitek]

Well that's pretty much everything in history isn't it?

i'm out. back in 5 hours or so.

 

[Axver]

Your little 1945-now jaunt can't compare to a few centuries of Roman might.

And who am I supposed to postwhore with now, huh?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

bono would deffinetly be mother of pearl.

I'm here for 30 minutes but i will type incomprehensibly because i borrowed someones mini computer.

 

[Axver]

... we are so hooked on the blue crack, huh?

 

[mysterious_jen]

5 fucking stars for this thread.

Yeah, the States haven't even decimated/enslaved an entire people yet. Need to get to work on that.
