Let's see fruvous...

Sorry for the duplicate post, but I thought it'd be worthy of discussion over here as well....

Say we get a bunch of people together, pitch in a certain amount $, figure out a decent location (i'd recommend toronto), and contact the booking angency and book the group?� Anybody have any rich friends?� Last look (years ago!) it was only around $2500 to book them. 25 people give $100 bucks, 50 people give $50.. some of us definatley would have spent more than 50 bucks in the past 4 years if they were actually touring...�
just thinking....

we can't book the group if they're not together.

Maybe try to book them all for the same night and venue as solo acts.. then don't tell them the others are coming. If sitcoms have taught me anything, which they haven't, everyone will be quite happy and musical enjoyment will follow.

And we'll learn a valuable lesson.

no, wait, let's invite them to an awards show and have them present an award together, and then they'll have to reunite. especially if we get willie nelson's help. i saw it on the simpsons, so you know there's gotta be some truth to it.

What's that lameass VH1 show where they reunite old bands, or try to at least? We'll just get 'em on there..

found it

this made me snork protien shake out my nose.

THAT HURTS YOU BASTID.

*smacks rimbo*

Jeeez...


A Flock Of Seagulls
ABC
Berlin
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Haircut 100
Kajagoogoo
Squeeze
The Alarm
The English Beat
The Motels

Hmm. I see a certain trend here.

/me pretends this was written in 1997 and just starts laughing hysterically. Everything old is new again! Whee!

Yes!� Rimbo!

just like in a long long trailer..

everything under the sun!

i was sick in bed, and i was reading old posts, because i had nothing better to do, and i thought of two things:
one, obviously, that would work, because everything on the simpsons is real. and willie nelson would definitely make it a success. ;)
two, ugh. i want to see them now. i never have. and its so sad. :(
oh, one more thing- how would you invite them to an awards show? just curious. i mean, a venue would be do-able if you knew the owner or something. but if A-the award is fake, like on the simpsons, or B- the invitation isn't actually from the award you said it was, it wouldn't work.
and this was obviously a joke, but i like to think. so i thought about this.

I'm glad you're having a scintillating time.

Anyway, why don't we send an email to all of the fruLads' booking agents and ask to have them together for maybe 100,000 dollars, and then get a donation from a big� energy company?

We all know that Energy is the Pulse of Life.

Marry me?

The energy that bonds us all is so overwhelming that the bonds upon which we are bonded with are broken, bonding us in an artificially free world. We cannot imagine how strong these bonds are against our souls and our soles, but what matters is that the energy is so strong it makes us beleive we are free; it shapes our boundaries to the exact dimensions as ourselves, but no more. We will never discover the ultimate truth.

how about we contact each of the frulads and see who is and isnt willing to get back together and as long as at least two of them are willing we can replace the other two with the two�surviving members of the beatles and they can call themselves 'The Frutles'.� who could argue with that?
we'd likely hear alot more beatles covers, and we'd get to hear paul sing Fly.

"And we'll learn a valuable lesson."

And Jian turns into Uncle Jesse.

...turns into?

Hmm...

so instead of Fr�vous, a Tall New Buildings reunion would be more likely? ;-)

.oO I know, woah-ho, I'm breaking on through her wall-alls Oo.

I'd like to hear him sing johnny saucepan.

ahaha yes indeed that'd be quite nice. i think it's an idea, dont you?

...or you could call them 'The Beavous.'� But who would open the show?

Jim Infantino, of course.

plus, they'd be the halftime show at next year's superbowl. ;)

*laughs thinking of wardrobe malfunctions*

Oh man.
Heaven.

aha that'd be the first superbowl i'd refuse to miss!

ha...me too. i don't even like football.

jian ghomeshi, perhaps?
how about both GBS and BLINK182 open the show and it'd be a big "break the hiatus" spectacular!!

me neither, but i should've watched the half-time show this year! paul played Drive My Car, and i missed it! wah wah.
he also played hey jude, but i've never been a hey jude type guy. everybody loves that song, but i love drive my car.
gee whiz.. stupid derek.
well i watched homer simpson's biblical half-time show though. that was pretty good.

i just remember seeing paul on some morning show or news or something, talking about the halftime show. they mentioned something about "wardrobe malfunction" and so he says "That won't be a problem, because I'm planning on performing in the nude." which i thought was hilarious.

I did see the simpsons, though. that was a pretty good episode.

I wonder what happened to blink 1 thru 181. Are they all on hiatus, too?

ahahaha that would have been a great joke if he actually had. meh but people wouldnt like it. if it was blink182 or something poeple wouldn't make a big deal about it, but paul mccartney, well it wouldn't go over well. he's not very young either... haha but i woulda laughed forever if i saw that show. oh paul.

you're right. some people could in fact pull it off...but not paul. there should be some kind of poll. "Who would you like to see perform nude during the superbowl halftime show?"

jeez...now i'm cracking up just remembering that show. it was hilarious how he said it, with a straight face and everything. hahaha

well actually the band was initially named just BLINK, but they had to change their name because BLINK was taken. As it turns out, the name Blink was pretty popular, since they kept ascending one number at a time and realizing that each one of the names was taken by middle-eastern and european bands.
so they eventually discovered that Blink182�was the lowest number that wasn't already used by another band. pretty stange, huh?

My vote is for Caroline Dhavernas... of course, she's an actress, not a musician.... but.... my vote is still her.
:D

alright lets make it a poll then. who do you wanna put on it?
paul mccartney
blink182
gbs
mike ford
dave matheson
jian ghomeshi
pete best
who else??

I already cast my vote. :)

you should definitely add an "other" option...there's always someone you're gonna forget about.

do actresses count? i'm pretty sure its gonna have to be a musician, nate.
why don't you suggest a few to put on the pole, even if you insist on voting for caroline dhavernas. ; |

good point, though i still need more options.
umm... how about some frf people
the neilds
eddie from ohio
uh... the arrogant worms?

sounds good. now you've got a pretty decent selection, i guess.

wow this is getting pretty squished against the right wall now isnt it?
i'll throw in dar williams, davinci's notebook, and barenaked ladies (even though everyones already seen them naked.

Man... but... I can't think of any musicians I'd want to see naked. :(

uh oh. i've never done i poll, i can only do ten options

well i guess i gotta cut a few

no worries i have more then enough.
lets start a petition to be able to put more then ten choices in a pole.

yeah, it's pretty squished...
that's great. definitely an awesome selection. plus, will make some interesting debate. ;)

"poll".... and... how about alicia keys?

:)

She lip-synced in the promotional video with the full Wonderfalls theme.

I'd say she counts ;-)

*still needs those DVDs*

or lisa loeb?

Definitely counts!
:D

umm.. it's not letting me add the poll

edit: oh nevermind i didn't read the thing at the top.
oops now the administrator is gonna get a couple polls. Ack stupid derek!

of course actresses count. it's just a different kind of, uh... performance.

Hehehehehehheehehhee

Lisa Loeb? Really?

yeah, I think she's pretty cute.

You don't?

I did a GIS on "fruvous" and found this it really brought back memories... of stilettos and dunce caps that is.

Edit: something tells me the link won't work... so here:� www.crewpix.com/gallery/ MusicVideos/cp00075

Would she still get to wear her glasses?

Why, god? Why?

Wow... what looked creepy in black and white now just looks really hilarious and blackmail worthy.

i know....the pants....*chuckle* and the teeth...wow. the teeth just crack me up.

ps- yay frucontent!!! finally...

aww...i don't know how to do the umlaut....i'm on a dell. stupid windows. *kicks school computer...and stupid wobbly keyboard.*

Hold in Alt and on the keypad (not the numbers across the top) press 0, 2, 5, 2 and release Alt.

more reliable is to use ü if you're posting something in html. It works on all machines, regardless of fonts, character sets, and so on.

ok...well...i'll stick to my good old control-u, thanks. ;)

this is totally one of those caption-your-own-photo moments. it's late and I'm tired, so I'm not even going to try, but I know someone out there (bill!) is good at this sort of thing...

jian looks so. bored. :D

Dukes of Hazard reference?

More likely Full House.

Yes. What I meant to say is that he doesn't need to turn into John Stamos because the end of this sentence doesn't even need to be said, does it?

That makes more sense.
