It has been way over a decade since this happened, so some details are a little blurry, but I still have to tell this story here too:

So, my dad’s colleague was on a trip with their friends, who were a couple. Now, the wife of this couple was a huge U2 fan, and the highlight of this trip was going to a U2 concert. Later that night, after the concert, they went to a restaurant, and who do they see there at another table? Bono. The wife wants so badly to go and ask for an autograph, but in a typical Finnish fashion, she doesn’t want to be a bother because surely Bono just wants to enjoy his night and not be surrounded by fans all the time, so she doesn’t go.

Then, she notices that someone from Bono’s table gets up and goes to the men’s restroom, so she also gets up and goes to wait outside the men’s room, until the guy comes out. She then stops him and goes excuse me, I saw that you were at the same table as Bono, would it be in any way possible that you could ask for an autograph from him for me? (because apparently it is much less mortifying to bother someone else you don’t know than to bother the guy directly, I guess).

The man apparently kinda stands there for a moment, just looking at her, before he asks, sounding just a tad bit confused, if he heard her right. You want me to go and ask Bono for an autograph for you?

Yes, she says. She’s being very polite about it. If you would be so kind. That would be great.

The man says yes, sure, I’ll see what I can do about it.

They then part ways and go back to their own tables and continue the night, and some time later, they notice that Bono and the rest of the people who had been at that table have left.

Oh well, the wife thinks. No can do, maybe he just forgot or something or just didn’t want to do it. It’s okay.

They finish up their meal and ask for the bill. The waiter tells them that their meal has already been paid for, and then tells that they were left with two notes.

The waiter gives them the notes. They are both autographs. One of them says Bono.

And the other says Bruce Springsteen.

Green Day “demastered” their 1994 album Dookie into 15 “obscure, obsolete, and inconvenient” formats, like wax cylinder, Fisher Price record, Teddy Ruxpin, and player piano roll. This is amazing.

Be right back, going to be so cataclysmically wrong about basic science that scientists within earshot die angry about it.

I am really enjoying reading about the University of Wisconsin chancellor fired after the university discovered all the pornos he and his wife were making.

Generally when someone has a public sex scandal (or “scandal”) you get the standard “I am sorry. I regret it. It was a misjudgment on my part” but this guy is like “fuck you I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t violate conflict of interest clauses, you are violating my first amendment rights”

We can’t do anything about hate speech but if there is consensual sexual activity involved!

I want the details about how this was discovered because it has a real “I saw the professor at the devil’s sacrament” “girl what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament 👀" vibe

The timing… omg

From Feb 8, 2023: Twitter quote tweet by Foz Meadows reacting with “[touches ao3] something deeply horny is about to happen here” in response to a tweet by Giant Freakin Robots announcing “Andrew Garfield will portray the monster alongside Oscar Isaac's doctor in Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein”ALT

Sorry to be clueless, but is this good or bad? I know that Guillermo del Toro is a genius regarding movies, and that he will do the story justice… But horny? Why? Are those actors specialized in horny tension?

I can’t say what their chemistry will be like together, but here’s what I do know about them:

Andrew Garfield has been wanting to play a bisexual Spider-Man for ages. He’s also been shown to be very comfortable kissing other men in public.

And Oscar Isaac really wanted a gay romance in Star Wars between his character, Poe, and Finn.

Then you have to factor in Del Toro’s monsterfucker energy, and this is a recipe for something very horny about to happen, if not in the film, then on AO3.

Oh wow, it is the perfect recipe for the horny™.
