Shuttlecock! Part IX - Squeezing out cocks of light

[LemonMelon]

Just listened to that Live NLOTH bit again....I'm so fucking ready for that song.

BUT WHERE'S THE BASS?!?!?!?

WHERE'S THE FUCKING BASS??!?!?!?!


I'm going to kill handlebar if he brings up NLOTH2's bass line one more time. He's going to make me resort to knife crime.

Just listened to that Live NLOTH bit again....I'm so fucking ready for that song.

i said it, for some weird fucking reason in wtahan, but i'm really fucking loving either version of nloth.

plus that live version...phew, it's a great tune.

 

[corianderstem]

See ya, Mike!

I love having coworkers who get your references. My boss' boss and I have been known to go off on Simpsons exchanges that have everyone else staring blankly at us. Good times.

My coworkers almost never get my pop culture references but that doesn't stop me. I was exceedingly happy recently when I said, "Don't tase me, bro!" and heard a giggle from across the hall.

 

[corianderstem]

That's awesome. I will randomly spout off pop culture references, too. I've also been known to burst into (relatively quiet) song at work.

 

[impy13]

Is being attracted to the Progressive broad weird?

The Alien Rapist returns and starts the whole league.

It's taking me ages to catch up with all the chit chat you guys created in an hour, as it keeps growing as I read.

Falling back on the Guided By Voices talk 42 pages back, 'Game of Pricks' is one of my all time favorite rock songs.

 

[LemonMelon]

I make references to Old Gregg on a daily basis. Again, it's not current, but I'm following Mike's example; stick with what works for you, even if it's painfully out of date.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this:

YouTube - Bono as Elvis - Love Me Tender

 

[corianderstem]

So when Peterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and Rob3333333333333333333 start going on and on about Bono's "opera voice," can I start waxing orgasmic about Bono's Elvis voice?

That was actually kind of cute. It's no "holy shit balls falsetto" Can't Help Falling In Love, but it was cute.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this:

I think you speak for all of us.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm quite fond of the Kermit voice.

Boner is quite the impersonator. If only Chris Martin possessed such a talent.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the red fuzzy hair but I'm going to get behind it for now.

 

[corianderstem]

I think he's looking mighty fine.

The eyeliner needs to go, though. Or keep the eyeliner but ditch whatever other nonsense he's got going on with the eye makeup. Dude's wearing more eye makeup than I do in a week these days.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, he certainly doesn't look as stupid right now as he did at the beginning of the Vertigo tour. Sunglasses/long hair/straw hat...oh man.

The right to appear ridiculous is something he holds dear.

 

[corianderstem]

One of my female friends is a big U2 fan, and she wishes he still had long hair. Frankly, I'm horrified that any sane woman would think that. He's never looked older than he did with that stank-ass hair he had between when the album came out and when the tour started.

It slightly improved with the tour, but holy jesus god, it was bad for a while.

Some might say he's trying too hard with the eyeliner, but I thought he was trying too hard with that ugly hair.

That was horrible, and it was even worse seeing people at shows during the tour who were trying to copy the look in an un-ironic sense.

 

[corianderstem]

Gee, who did that? Golly gosh.

QFT.

He does look fantastic right now. He hasn't actually looked this good since Poppycock. They ALL look fantastic.

No one we know, surely.

 

[u2popmofo]

Gee, who did that? Golly gosh.

Douche bags. Major douche bags.

 

[LemonMelon]

As much as I wish he'd go back to looking somewhat human...perhaps like the non sunglass-wearing moments of the Elevation Boston DVD, I really don't mind those blue sunglasses with the stars on each side. They're OK. It's a step up.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Bono looks hot with the short hair, no doubt about it.

 

[corianderstem]

I never cease to be amazed at how awesome Adam looks with each passing year.

And did Larry dye his hair? It looked darker at the Grammys. Although maybe it was absence of the greasy mullet that threw me off.

I'm kind of digging the new sunglasses, too. Wish he'd ditch them, but I know I'll never get that pony, either.

 

[LemonMelon]

Although maybe it was absence of the greasy mullet that threw me off.

Discussion of this permeated a number of setlist parties. I never wanted to even acknowledge its existence.

 

[corianderstem]

I'll be the next cocker to bow out of this evening's hilarity.

Goodnight, whoever's left in here.

 

[LemonMelon]

Night, Cori.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I just read the last 6 or 7 hilarious pages and now I bid you all goodnight.

 

[Diemen]

Yes. I knew I was forgetting someone important. And he was the most recent Interlander I met?

Lo, I am full of shame.

As you damn well should be.

We rocked out to Shuttlecock3D, after all. Boner flapped his arms at us.

 

[LemonMelon]

In the name of Shuttlecock and referencing Joaquin Phoenix's own career move, I created this:
