There's also a video I saw where the whole band pulls a Godfather, but I can't find it.

I TOTALLY LOVE THEM. THEY ARE AWESOME.
(ahem sorry i went capslock)

Larry is hilarious in this one. I love that he's so like WTF???

"Who are you supposed to be? Is this some webcomic thing?"

Adder poked Mordecai, who looked uncomfortable in the crowded setting. "More importantly, why isn't Cai in a costume?"

"I didn't really want to come, but Kestrel made me," the wizard replied, shifting from foot to foot. "I didn't have anything prepared."

"Well, at least yer di'n't try ter cheat an' come as a bloody snow leopard," Kestrel muttered. "I wanted ter come as that PotterSue wid the really long name, but noooo, Cai's too damned lazy ter 'elp me if'n I gets shot. Some partner yew are! Still, I managed ter scare the bejeezus outta 'im yesterday. That wuz funny..."

...dressed as a guy who followed his little brother trick-or-treating for two straight hours while carrying half his costume. Then promptly falls asleep.

So is this just a name smush then? Mine's kind of lame, since both parents' names end in ny. But if we take full names rather than shortened forms... Anthonelope has a nice ring to it. Better than Penthony, certainly.

with Bono and Larry

"You said eleven. It's ...in' half eight!"

Very awesome. I think one of my favorite things about the band is their sense of humor (even Larry, dour as he comes off sometimes). Bono talks a lot about not being too proud and high and mighty to laugh, and people not fully believing their eyes seeing Bono hisself stumble out of a pub at two in the morning.

(Also see Stand Up Comedy-- "Stand up to rock stars, Napoleon is in high heels," etc.)

Alright. *pats Stumble Upon on the head*

I plugged it everywhere. The whole thing is hilarious. I love the waking up. "I don't want to be on the news. I don't NEED to be on the news." LOL Edge. He's not a morning man. Ouch. Especially as Bono TOTALLY IS. (Edge gets his revenge on evenings, though)
The part about the "Pavarottis" is also LOL.

I love The Edge. I love them all, but Bono and Edge are my favorites. These guys are awesome. Edge is SO TOTALLY VULCAN and I love Vulcans.

At least it was presumably "friendly", because she wasn't drawing blood.

"Molly! Cease and desist!" Stormsong, clad in long black coat and sunglasses, appeared from out of the crowd and tried to peel the two cubs apart. Molly simply transferred her attention to him, with rather more enthusiasm. The weasel swore under his breath as Molly inflicted him with several unwanted ear piercings.

"Hey, nice to see ya!" Laburnum and Foxglove waved at him and headed over. Their costumes both seemed to mainly involve trenchcoats worn over elaborate goth-punk attire, plus fake animal ears and tails (using the Disguise Generator for a Halloween costume would be cheating); mouse for Laburnum, fox for Foxglove. Foxglove had untied her braids for the first time in living memory and redone her hair into dreadlocks, while Laburnum's had been rinsed red and teased into a huge floppy forelock.

Laburnum tugged at her Steely Dan T-shirt and resumed her argument with Foxglove. "I STILL don't see why you cast me as the short guy with all your costume suggestions ..."

Yeah, Edge is pretty amazing. Have you ever seen the video where Bono wakes him up first thing in the morning to follow him around with a video camera for a few hours? It's hilarious, and awesome. "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of The Edge blowing his nose."

The way he's always so stoic makes it just that much more moving when he really gets into something, too.

(I meant One the organization, not the song; I generally only plug songs on existing threads, not starting new ones.)

However, I think all the credit should go to Stumble Upon, 'cause that's what I used to find it by accident.

He's 48.

'm completely crazy, too. Why would I be here if I weren't?
Bono is 1.72m, Larry 1.70. Edge and Adam are 1.79.
Totally seconding about Bono and Edge, and Edge's Vulcanness. Spock is a musician, too. That means something. Edge also has other Vulcan characteristics:
- He can spend several days and nights in a row WORKING. He himself said he had to stop watching TV after a week, day and night, after 9/11. OK that's not working but still. A WHOLE WEEK.
- He's basically a science geek.
- He doesn't show so many emotions (but still a few). Bono called him 'zen monk' more than once.
- He LOOKS Vulcan. Except the ears.
I could find even more.

BTW, feel free to plug One, Vertigo and others. I plug them too, everywhere.

of Kieran's Marlfox Costume fell from his paws. "D-Deuce? Please help me..."

Unfortunately, the agent was busy talking to Kestrel.

The ferret stared at him, scrutinizing every inch of his costume. "So... wot're yew s'posed ter be? Ye died yer 'ead fur red, yew put black stuff 'round both eyes, stamped a funny lookin' black sign thingy on the side o' yer fore'ead, an' it looks like yer got a giant jug thing an' slung it over yer shoulder. Wot's it all mean, mate?"

Adder, however, had figured it out. "Good god, you're... you're COSPLAYING." The girl, who was dressed as the Wicked Witch of the W-- 'scuse me, I mean Elphaba, screamed at the ceiling. "CURSE YOU, LAWS OF NARRATIVE COMEDY! YOU'VE STOLEN DEUCE OVER TO THE ANIME SIDE!"

Her partner glared at her. "Have you ever tried reading Naruto? Don't knock it 'til you try it, Adder."

He was alerted to a dismayed wail from Kieran. "Deeeeeuuuuce!" The fox was unsuccessfully trying to dislodge Molly.

Deuce facepalmed.

It was... satisfactory. For a night of simple amusements.

But, coming away from it, I had an awful lot of quibbles and AU suggestions and Ideas.

First, i honestly thought Toby was an android from the beginning (until the actual scene, of course) and I thought it would have been better if the "accident" had just required a memory-core retrieval into a replacement body, followed by a scolding and a possible grounding.

However, the disconnect between Human memories and Human chauvinism against robots was an interesting point.

From there.. i should have suspected that Cora was a Metro from the cut of her clothes, though early on I kinda remarked to my guest that I figured that her parents were somewhere farming taro and pigs. And where does food come from? Minerals for additional robots? If there was such a disconnect with the surface... well, the inconsistancies are getting to me.

Probably can't expect more from an IP derived from an early-50's Manga, but anyone else see it?

What do you think?

You are the second person I've ever met who had an (no, two!) obscure facts about the band I'd never heard. *squint-glare* Oh, it is ON like KHAN now, man. On. Like. Khan. (Really? Because generally people harp on Bono being short. I've never heard that Larry was actually shorter. And anyway, when they're onstage the personality is so immense that you honestly can't tell. Well, you can. But it is so eclipsed by the awesome. And the platform boots just make everything cooler.)

In all seriousness, seconded! There are not a whole lot of people who will admit to being hardcore U2 fans out there. (Of course, the ones who will are usually completely mad, but that's only the lesser part of our their charm.) I love the relationship between (well, the whole band, but especially) Edge and Bono. Bono's a lyrical genius with an operatic quality voice, and Edge is a musical genius with some kind of possibly Vulcan magic when it comes to guitar riffs.

Does this mean I have one more ally for the occasions where I shamelessly plug ONE on the Board?

I saw a few of these several days ago and haven't been able to find them since. Thanks for doing so!

Two giant humanoids walk in, one obviously a human and wearing luminescent green powered armor with a gold visor and an assault rifle on his back. The other one an alien, with a curved back, white skin, and bedecked in black armor. They simply stare blankly at the other party-goers before wandering over to a corner to chat. The human begins doing complicated tricks with a knife, the blade whirling around and around his hand in a blur. The Sangheili is making motions with his hands; the two seem to be talking about combat of some sort, probably hand-to-hand.

Molly practically flew up to Kieran and latched onto him like a limpet. "Hi! Aunty Foxglove was gonna gimme a costume but Uncle Stormy sez there ain't nuffink scarier'n me, so I came as me."

Krisprolls was happy. He regretted not to be able to set the volume higher, though. Never mind, Vertigo was playing. "HELLO HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

"That's what we're here for!" said Krisp.
