Shuttlecock XXIX: You Snooze, You Get a Boring Thread Title

[Thora]

Because the camera in my phone is shitty, my Vancouver pictures only looked good while on my tiny phone screen.

You should have seen this one on my phone - it was spectacular! Here, not so much. But hey, it's a shot of the Claw with a roof over it, from the very back of the floor.

Very cool!

 

[Lila64]

Looks pretty damn good to me!

And thanks martha

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Thanks, Martha. That story made me . I had never heard he picked up Bono. WTH?

Someone captured the moment on film and it used to be around here somewhere.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Shuttlecockian friends! I'm very thankful I've gotten to know you over the past year, and had the wondrous pleasure of meeting some of you in person.



Oh, and please eat some turkey on my behalf. My friend (whose house I'm going to today for T-day dinner) is a vegetarian and there will be other veggie people there as well, so I'm not holding my breath that there will actually be turkey.

 

[martha]

Aw.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, dear.

And all the rest of the 'Cocks who make me happy.

 

[Lila64]

to all.

Martha - we'll save you some leftovers if you want

 

[RedRocksU2]

A person that is hosting a Thanksgiving and it's a vegetarian???? phail.


Happy Turkey Day!

Ok, I've got to see this <> springsteen story. Please?

I'm surprised you guys hadn't heard the picking up Boner story. He only posted it every year for like 5 years afterwards on the anniversary...

 

[Lila64]

I had heard the Boner one before, just not the Bruce one

 

[martha]

A PM has been sent.

 

[coolian2]

i've never seen the full version of the bono story.

i do wish security hadn't been so shithouse that night in boston though.

Let's just say that the more certain people around here post, the more I tend to stay away... Plus I'm usually only over in B&C, where Bono-talk is at its lowest on this site.

 

[martha]

And I don't think <> posts in B&C, thank God.

 

[Diemen]

Thanks for the PM, martha. I bet he harbored a grudge against the Boss himself for that incident. Apparently he held one against Boner for not recognizing his righteousness at subsequent shows.

 

[martha]

And the looney shall inherit the Kingdom.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

howdy all...

sad news from team elfa; I am no longer employed and ironically this means I have less time to post here now

 

[corianderstem]

Oh crap, elfa. I'm really sorry to hear that.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

thanks, I have a good severance package though so we're ok for the time being.

 

[BoMac]

Does this mean I can't make fun of you, the Leafs, or Toronto until you're back working? I kind of feel bad now calling you a loser in the Bar thread.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Dude I don't care, when did you call me a loser?

 

[BoMac]

Like an hour ago.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

 

[martha]

Sorry, elfa.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Sorry to hear that, elfa

 

[Diemen]

Sorry to hear that, elfa. I heard there's plenty of work to be found in the lucrative field of Russian hacking...

 

[Lila64]

Sorry to hear that elfa

Have you thought about going back to school?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

aww elfa, i'm sorry to hear that. and right before the holidays. i know how you feel.

 

[zoney!]

Sorry to hear, Elfa.

Hopefully I can cheer you up with these amazing pictures I took at 3:33 from my deck here in MALIBU. Nevermind the watermark - they really are my photos...it's just that so many people have stolen my pictures before! I hate when that happens!

 

[corianderstem]

I want to go to there!

I made my first post over at the Zootopia forums, looking for a Seattle - Mpls GA swap. I think my best bet is to try and swap GAs for GAs and then try and look for someone with Mpls seats who really wants GA instead.

If that doesn't work, I'm crossing my fingers for a ticket drop, and absolute last ditch scenario, I'll have to swallow my principles and buy scalped tickets.
