Storm vs Warriors rugby league. First week of the finals, 1v8.

The bad guys are Melbourne, btw.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I was pm'd saying I was silly for thinking it wouldn't be okay. Perhaps she'll register sometime this week. Perhaps tomorrow evening?

Ah, cool.

McGuinne$$ smashed open his liquor cabinet with a hammer when he found out.

 

[coolian2]

Fuck, way to bomb a try. I nearly rammed my head through the keyboard.

Fuck you, I just about laughed cheese and onion flavoured chips through my nose.

Ripping off U2 7 = world domination

Now I want chips but don't want to miss any of the game.

Tell me if I miss anything.

Keep releasing material, and U2 will keep delaying their album GENIUS!

I wanna listen to TUF really bad now, but with all the b-sides too. Ax <_< would you mind posting again?

 

[coolian2]

Ah good, I missed nothing.

Although I'll bet if I'd been watching I'd have kicked something.

 

[Axver]

That looks fantastic, better than mine. Pride as a closer is strange, but I can understand why you put it there. What I like most about this version is that it keeps the original flow of the album intact while improving on it. Very nice.

It worked for U2......didn't it?

I own a (burned) copy. I think. Somewhere.

I might have thought about downloading it a long time ago.

But probably not.

 

[bono_212]

ASOH

 

[Axver]

I might have thought about downloading it a long time ago.

But probably not.

I once thought about buying it.

That thought never translated into checking how much money I had in my wallet or doing any Googling or what-have-you.

I have no idea at all what's on 7 except Big Girls Are Best (right? ) but the picture on the cover is one of my favorites /random fangirling moment. I don't do it often, so I think it's allowed one in a while

 

[bono_212]

See faces plowed like fields that once
Gave no resistence
And we live
By the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valley EXPLODES

Hey Ax, I was just having a look around an aviation forum, and someone mentioned the possibility of a Bledisloe Cup game in Denver next year. The person who mentioned it is the forum idiot, but I'm wondering if there's a slight possibility of truth.

If you haven't, just your reaction to the sheer idea of a game in Denver will suffice.

Thanks. What really surprised me is Boomerang II working after ASOH. I checked some of the segues while making the list, but now I'm properly playing it through, and ASOH/B II/Wire feels remarkably natural.

I think Pride works pretty well as a closer, fitting in with U2's tendency to use it to close main sets and the occasional encore. It fits with MLK thematically, and kills three birds with one stone: 1. what to do with Pride in the first place, since it's such a pain to fit anywhere, 2. what to do with MLK, since I don't want to break the Wire --> UF segue, and 3. how to close the album in the absence of Bad closing.
