Wow, one of the most surprising thread titles I've seen in a while! I have no idea what the significance of the date is... but I will venture a guess. The 25th anniversary of the release of that Duran Duran classic single "Rio?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Flashback! Too bad Duran Duran's latest CD was a bomb. Having Timbaland and Timberlake produce was a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchtastic Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Oh, I see. You have to know the name of some horrible Duran Duran song to win. I like my answer better. Girls on Film. The only halfway good Duran Duran song. But it does not have anything to do with May 5, that I know of, or the Editor's Hello Kitty calendar. Maybe you can win the prize next time, meme. Anyway, don't you have some kids on your lawn? edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(had to go to the other crackhouse, Lush.)I used to go to that giant Sanrio store once a year. I just go to the Galleria one now. Having a daughter helped reduce the frightened looks I get during my visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Maybe I should toss in some extras to Puma like some promotional (wall size) posters & buttons from 82 of the group when Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf were hot? Ja! PS, for the die hard fans, it's worth buying the video compilation of every vid these guys made. Na...na... Notorious! They were always credited for being very creative and innovative in the modern video craze. This one proves it. Skin Trade 1987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Best Duran Duran song ever: The Reflex Traveling west on I-80 in western Pennsylvania you will climb a number of hills, among them one reading "Eastern Continental Divide" -- that's how you know you're getting close. Soon you will crest over the top of a large hill that has a sign reading "Highest point on I-80 east of the Mississippi." If you happen to be in a 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit and pass the sign going exactly 55 miles an hour, and throw it into neutral, you will coast downhill and across the Ohio state line just as the song reaches its crescendo.

VicMan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Maybe we could have "Durian Durian day" and dedicate it to the fruit (Durian has a distinctive odor and therefore is not allowed on Singapore subways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Maybe I should toss in some extras to Puma like some promotional (wall size) posters & buttons from 82 of the group when Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf were hot? Ja! You should see what the value of those are, might be worth eBay-ing. Oh, I see. You have to know the name of some horrible Duran Duran song to win. I like my answer better. Your answer: "Duran" has 5 letters.5/5 = Duran Duran In that case, I declare this Sunday, May 4th to be "Marky Mark" Day!!! "Marky" has 5 letters, "Mark" has 4. 5/4 = Marky Mark "Feel the vibrations!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Maybe we could have "Durian Durian day" and dedicate it to the fruit (Durian has a distinctive odor and therefore is not allowed on Singapore subways) Not just the subways -- schools, hospitals, hotels, pretty much anywhere you can't smoke in America you can't have a durian in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I've had durian. I've even had durian ice cream. It tastes like a cross between vanilla and a rotting onion inside a wet sock at the end of a dank alley. But once you've had it about an hour later, you're looking for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
