who's with me? every time i read someone's post where they initialed backspacer i keep reading it as bullshit. and i don't think backspacer is bullshit. those of you who really don't like the album, it's fine by me if you refer to it as BS cause you're being clever in that case (sort of like ticketbastard for ticketmaster) but if you like the album, i think avoiding calling it BS is not too difficult, nor do i think it's asking too much. thanks :D

    Yeah. I'm with you.
    The abbreviation does have a negative connotation!

  • My friend, Bob Sacamano, he came in here for a hernia operation.. Oh yeah, routine surgery.. now he's sitting around in a chair by a window going, "My name is Bob" (with a high voice)
  • It's Bob Saget...

    He looks like stone...
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I'm with you!
  • I agree! Completely. We should now refer to it as, "The album formerly known as BS."

    i dunno, even though we will get used to it, i will still have that notion in the back of my mind years from now, and how hard is backspacer?...it's only one more letter than their previous longest titled name, and that's pearl jam, which people refer to as avocado, which makes backspacer only 2 letters more than avocado, i think we can all deal, it doesn't need an abbreviation.
