Shuttlecock XXXI: Someone start a new in-joke so we can get a better title

[Irvine511]

Irving, dear, thank you for posting that pic here. I like it just a little bit. I'd steal it and make it my desktop, but Steve would hurt himself rolling his eyes at me.

you're one of the gayest people i know. and that isn't easy. Ricky does have good taste, doesn't he?

this is just upsetting.

Also, I see that the new album thread in the other place has been seeing a lot of action, and there are rumors flying around about new songs? Would someone be kind enough to summarize the madness and tell if any of it is anything worthwhile?

what i got out of it -- and i haven't checked it in hours -- is that there may be some sort of "announcement" on U2.com (ha!) and the speculation about that rumor is that they are going to announce the U2 360 Pasadena show DVD and on said DVD there will be, possibly, new songs, a password that will allow you to download the new songs, and/or a way to download the new EP from U2.com.

of course, the songs will probably be "Kingdom" and "Winter," but what can you do?

i could be wrong. i may hold my nose and dive in there, seeing how it is Easter and all and they band refuse to work this week because they are Christian and they don't do drugs!

this is just upsetting.

If by "upsetting" you mean "still awesome and hilarious," then I agree.

 

[Irvine511]

if Boner had a chest like that he'd be even more insufferable.



(and i love Boner)

 

[No spoken words]

It's less about Boner and more about who/what that photo represents, Irvine.

 

[u2popmofo]

What exactly is that Boner picture? Would someone be so kind as to give me a lesson in its history and significance?

NSW - When I see your avatar, I confuse you with Thora, since she has a similar sunset. Passover hasn't quite been the same since my f-i-l passed in 2000 But a family gathering tomorrow will be lovely. Too bad I'm probably driving or I could liquor it up

Congrats on getting to see the cock in July Pfan

I don't know why so many of the cock jokes just don't phaze me anymore these days, but that made me laugh.

This is worthy of quoting. Both because I'm happy for Peefer and because of its other meaning.

Cori n i r twinz

 

[corianderstem]

Boy howdy, I remember the first time I saw the cock. I didn't have a very good view, but it was still really impressive. The whole thing is kind of a blur, though. And I wasn't even drunk!

Damn it you edited.

 

[corianderstem]

It was also really loud. And there were a lot of people there.

 

[No spoken words]

Scumbo, PM sent.

Lila, funny timing, I just changed mine. My old avatar was from the film 2001.

 

[coolian2]

does explaining that avatar/bono wtf picture require a pm?

i guess i'll be forced to publicly admit to not being in on the joke and will need to be cc'd in on that information.

 

[Irvine511]

The whole thing is kind of a blur, though.

it really is. i was in NYC at the time, probably 19 years old, and you anticipate it for years, right? and then it happens and it's all pretty awesome, and then you know it's going to be over and then you start to worry that it's not what it should be and then it ends and you're all like, "wait, what? what just happened?" and you're tingly and happy afterwards, but you weren't prepared, nor could you have been.

the only solution is to go back for more.

me too, please. i'm missing something as well.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hey, thanks for the summary of the new news, Cori and Irvine. I'd be pretty excited if they decide to put out that EP or something.

And, peef, you will have a blast at the show. Glad you're going.

It was such a relief they were selling condoms at the merchandise stands.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i've never seen a multi-coloured hot cross bun in my life.

it was very pretty, i'll say that much. plus there was a little drizzle on it. i got all happy that we had cross buns, then my mom reminded me of the fruit. booooo.

 

[Lila64]

Wait, what are we talking about?

 

[Diemen]

If the Shuttlecock does it's first show of the US leg in Chicago again on a future tour, we're all staying at Diemen's.

I'm gonna have to look for a bigger place.

I'm back home now, tired and still feeling a little off from a bumpy flight back. I hate turbulence.

 

[corianderstem]

Cock and fruity buns!

 

[bono_212]

Is turbulence made worse by a maybe...cheaper plane? I'd never flown Frontier/Midway before my last trip out to MD, and all four of those flights (layovers ) had the worst turbulence I've ever experienced.

personally, the only turbulence i've ever experienced (other than flying over huge bodies of water, obvs) have been in smaller planes.

ian probably has a scientific explanation

 

[Diemen]

Is this our new in-joke that will lead to a better title?

 

[coolian2]

i love turbulence. helps me sleep.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Is this our new in-joke that will lead to a better title?

i hope so.

YouTube - U2 - Desire - Live from Rotterdam

And for today's moment in cool, U2 during the ZooTV Tour. Edge returns for the encore smoking, and instead of discarding said cigarette, sticks the lit cigarette on the tail of his guitar and begins playing the song.

 

[martha]

you're one of the gayest people i know. and that isn't easy. [/I]

I jes' likes me some fellas.

 

[Irvine511]

Cock and fruity buns!
