Personally, it gives me something to live for because I am a looser with nothing else to do except use my own money and time to setup an Echo and the Bunnymen fansite!

Well, here you are loser fan:

Echo & The Bunnymen are offering all Officialeatb Twitter followers a exciting oportunity to win USA tour tickets.

Echo & The Bunnymen are offereing a pair of tickets for each of the 12 USA dates.

Please see the live section of the website for ticket details.

Ok what do I have to do ? First you must make sure that you are following Echo & The Bunnymen on Twitter.

Just go to http://www.twitter.com/officialeatb if you dont have a Twitter account you will need to sign up for one.

Echo & The Bunnymen will post a Tweet saying "win bunnymen tickets for New York by re Tweeting this Tweet". The location in the Tweet will obviously change depending on the venue i.e. "win bunnymen tickets for Washington by re Tweeting this Tweet" etc

We will pick one fan from each re Tweet per venue and they will be the winner of a pair of tickets for that venue.

Please note that to spice things up a bit we will not necessarily be Tweeting the Tweets in order of the tour so please keep checking.

(Woooooooooo . . . . . . that is spicy!)

Spread the word and get your mates signed up to our Twitter account and they could be winning for you.

These have been collected by a seventh grade English teacher in Nevada to use as proofreading bell work.

Sad git.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

And don't they need to spread the word, what with 2,592 followers.

Even Jim Kerr of Simple Minds fame has 9,508 followers. I think it's the suit and tie that does it. I'd even sign up for that.

Jim Kerr

Then you got Terry Hall of The Specials fame with 3,126 followers. He looks so moody with his beard.

Terry Hall

And the Robert Smith of The Cure who doesn't even post anything, yet has 7,368 followers.

This is one of my favorite parts of the VT forum (besides black francis). It's like a giant middle finger to the BOF.

Have a question about the website or a suggestion? Found a typo? Something not working right on the forum?

Hey! One of my more sarcastic posts has made the BOF in its entirety.

I'm so honored!

Ooops, never mind. The post has been deleted, along with all the postings of the poster who posted it. :eek:

It really wasn't intended to be. It was there before we started pointing out all the typos.

That's uncanny, I also see BF as a giant middle finger.
