U2 - Noah's Archipelago

Pride in the Name of Ruth

February 12, 2024February 10, 2024 by Pyra Draculea

If Ruth doesn't like the biggest U2 songs, she's just not trying hard enough.

You’d think Noah would have noticed this tactic not getting his desired results as often as he likes…

Ruth’s Dirty Little Prideful Secret

Under pressure from Noah to spill the beans, Ruth blurts out that she hates two of the most iconic U2 hits.

Really, Ruth? How does someone with young children not know of the existence of “Baby Shark”?

Mr. Dressup

Noah and Glen are talking at the beginning of the Battle of the Tribute Bands gig before either has gone onstage. Glen is wearing his usual: a grey t-shirt, dark jeans, and his signature red bandana headband. Noah is dressed up like Bono (a mishmash of early 90s Fly-era Bono with the big black shades and shiny black leather jacket and pants with early 2000s touches like the open black shirt and cross necklace baring his hairy chest), with his normally curly hair straightened and slicked back. Glen scowls and says, "Playing Mr. Dressup Again, eh, Thorsen?" Noah smiles and replies, "The better to beat your arse tonight, Glen." We see they are up on a mezzanine balcony in the venue and the opener, a Tina Turner tribute act called Steamy Tina is performing in the background to a packed crowd. Glen retorts, "Pfft!

To be fair, I used to know someone who played in a few tribute bands and a lot of dudes agree with Noah that you have to dress the part as well as sound the part… but there’s definitely a large contingent … Read moreMr. Dressup

Ruth’s Ticket Strikeout

Ruth can't get tickets to Bono's book tour and Noah has to rub it in.

Noah never misses a chance to bug Ruth about her massive U2 fandom, so he bugs her with song title puns when she can’t score tickets to Bono’s book tour.
