Tale that Bono!

I see it's already covered in the Boobies.

//Bravo

UNO, DOS, TRES, CATORCE CARDIAC!

I think it's great you guys giving Bono the clap.

Are they sure it's not his shoulder again? He strained it last year trying to hug the whole world.

At the risk of inviting scorn, can someone please explain this to me?

I've always wondered... What the hell is up with his glasses?

Iknhaton: I've always wondered... What the hell is up with his glasses?

Partly sensitive eyes and partly because he's a rock star and he just likes them.

/That's what he said. Well, maybe not the part about "I'm a rock star."

Yeah, I know but I love this gif.

forgive me if I'm explaining to much, but I'm not sure what part of the comment you don't get, so here it goes:

people are posting animated gifs of people clapping, in regard to subby's headline. The more clapping that occurs, Bono will be hospitalized, so expect lots of clapping in this thread.

Fark has a filter that will change the words of "Boobies' to 'boobies'. So when you see the word 'boobies', read it as "Boobies" (occasionally, it does mean boobies)

and the headline refers to the 'urban legend' that Bono was giving a concert and during a moment of silence, he started slow clapping, saying that every time he claps his hands, a child dies of starvation in Africa. As the 'urban legend' goes, someone in the crowd yelled out, "Well stop clapping then".*

*now that's all paraphrased, the details aren't important, but you should get the joke.

Everyone is clapping to give Bono chest pains....I think.

god damn it, filter works well

instead of 'boobies', read that as "_______ , second, third, fourth" and "The ____ office delivers your mail" Now fill in the blanks to get the non-filtered terms.

damn, this sucks.

/even I'm getting confused now

there is a well known joke

At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, [Bono] asked the audience for total quiet.

Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...

"Well, farkin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!"

hence what subby said, and the gifs

yw

Bono having chest pains?

This makes me feel old.

I first saw U2 in 1984, the second time in 1987.

/Yep, I was a crazed, obsessed U2 fan in the 80s
//Zooropa cured me of it.

hmmm i want a stab at these 'boobies' comments.

the fark filter edits cretins attempts to be the very first person in a thread to note they are first via a message which rhymes with lurst coast?

/i think im going to get filtered
//also happens when people try to use the number five followed by the word hit or the filtered version shiat

My favorite is when someone types a word ending with c and then types the word until.

My mother said I could listen to music until 9 PM.

ha! and then when you want it to happen, it doesn't.

I think one of the fark commandments is do not mock the filter, as it will try to make you out to be a silly goose when you think you have it figured out.

thank you. I did not get that.

bit chilly

well fark that didn't work either.

Clap faster, people! He's still twitching!

/can't stand that insufferable prick.

Is he dead yet?
My hands are starting to get blisters.

Tak the Hideous New Girl Yep, I was a crazed, obsessed U2 fan in the 80s Zooropa cured me of it.

Considering their original audience was Catholic schoolkids you'd think they'd be profound , unlike any other classic rock band they have no generational drag.

/saw Bono speak about his Africa Project in a small theatre
//"we should do it to do it, nevermind the despots, Somali Pirates etc"
///good luck with that

StopLurkListen: "Boobies" gets filtered to say "boobies". It's funny to some people.

/not sure if intentional or filter owned

Thankyou good sir. It was the "first" part I was referring to. Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Thanks to everyone else who replied. Consider me enlightened.
