    Op ... here's Dangerboy, so here goes today's Trivia:


    For the past few years there has been a set of Bat Wings on the amp behind Ed and Stone, in front of Boom. Whose wings are those, what do they represent, and why did they disappear?

    SPALMA, I'm not cool or a teacher. I'm a corporate trainer. That makes me a geek I guess.

    But I get to travel to some cool places and some not so cool places too.

    Play the South already.

    Did Ed get them from a band called The Frogs? I can't remember. I would love to know what happened to them though. It felt weird not seeing them onstage last year.

    Yes, a gift from the Frogs in 1994. Easily Googled.

    But the trivia question in more specific.

    Whose wings are those, what do they represent, and why did they disappear?

    They disappeared at the Chicago HOB Katrina benefit. WHY?

    Then I thought about my life, my wife and kids and said no more wishing for something else. It will work out...whatever it is, be it not seeing Pearl Jam enough or not having the best job. Then I thought about how fortunate I am compared to so many in the world......really I am just missing my wife and kids they have been gone for nearly a week. Sorry to go wierd on everyone. Pearl Jam makes things better though and reading what all you all have to say helps too.


    Play the South

    Peace

    You're right, there is no reason for me to complain about anything in my life right about now. I have a great son, a decent job, roof over my head, etc. Hope you've told your wife and kids that you miss them; I'm sure you have.

    Weird: I had another vivid dream about seeing a PJ show last night and I even hung out with Ed and Mike for a while, separately....it was a fun dream!

    Peace,

    Yes they are Ed's.

    Circa 1994:

    "Ed dons a Bill Clinton mask!
    Ed joins The Frogs during their set: they start 'Jeremy' and Ed is lowered by a rope or cable onto the stage like he's flying, wearing the gold bat wings."

    But,

    what do they represent, and why did they disappear?
  • AnonAnon Posts: 11,175
    if i had a pair of gold bat wings, it would probably mean that i have gone bat shit crazy

    as for the trivia question, i have no clue
  • MakingWavesMakingWaves Posts: 1,293
    Good trivia question but I don't know the answer. Very curious to what the answer is though.

    Spalma, I am scaring Ty? :( I don't think Ty can be scared.

    QuarterToTen,

    We felt it was a thread that only existed as a mean-spirted sarcastic point at this thread, as so it had to be canceled.

    Is that enough of an explanation?

    Don't mean to speak for Doll but of course you can ask for shows. But if you knew the original poster of that threads past and looked at what he was typing in there you would know why. That is why the mods took it down because of that persons past and things he was saying. It isn't the first time it has happened.

    the perpetrator of that thread just came back off of a 3 day suspension recently for exactly that same thing here in this thread, with his signature and location, and in several other threads as well. i'm surprised he started up again, and i hope they suspended him for a little longer this time....

    The Calls of Frogs and Toads

    Lang Elliott

    This book and CD combo gives an excellent introduction to the sounds of frog species living in eastern and central North America. Anyone interested in frogs who spends a lot of time outdoors listening for them would appreciate this one - you'll be able to not only tell which frog you're hearing but what they are saying too! It starts out with all the species calls, and then theres a whole section on the CD with narrated explanations and examples of various types of calls, like advertisement calls (HEY, Baby!), aggressive calls, release calls, rain calls, distress calls, warning calls, mixed species choruses and so on.
    Back when I got a copy, the CD didn't come with a full book like it does now - which appears to have some added information and pictures... just to make it that much more interesting.
    Note: If you are on the west coast like me, this book will be lacking a bunch of species that are common here. So this is best used as a reference guide for those in the middle and eastern parts of the country.
