What's up with Bono? What's up with that fist?

[Sugar Smack]

Who told him to do that? Does he think it looks "cool"? Why isn't he looking at the camera? Is he really the biggest rock star in the world? Should I agree with that in spite of the malevolent earworm "With or Without You" running through my head for 5 days? Does Bono's "passion for living" out-passion my or your "passion for living"? And, finally, is his hand telling his ear something profound?

Please let me know if you have any insider scoops on this matter.

[DS1]

1. It looks like he's trying to lockpick his brain

[Sugar Smack]

3. Maybe he's "listening to the hand".

Maybe he didn't quite get "talk to the hand" right. :D

[DS1]

5. Or maybe the cropped out the game of craps he was playing in Brooklyn

[Sugar Smack]

14. Or maybe he's getting his aikido on.

:rofl:

[DS1]

16. Or here's another Irishman doing his impression of Bono

sorry, just needed an excuse to post that, it's been sitting in my pbucket for months :D

[Sugar Smack]

20. Oh my GOD!! Beautiful!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :applause:

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. That's not Bono. That's God.

He just thinks he's Bono. :eyes:

[Sugar Smack]

7. I think we have a winner!

:rofl:

[RandomKoolzip]

4. It's the least committed "black power" salute I've ever seen.

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Franklin agrees.

[Sugar Smack]

11. Maybe all "modern, multitasking rabble-rousers" go around like that,

although I'd think he'd need both hands to be a more effective multi-tasker.

[jpgray]

36. No matter how many times you post that, it will never be funny

The Schulzian anatomy is all fucking wrong, for example.

[Sugar Smack]

8. He seems to have some tragically weighty and relevant

issues on his mind. That's why he's not smiling.

[tigereye]

10. ah

:rofl:

[tigereye]

9. um

Sunday Bloody Sunday is pretty powerful. And he does seem to go to Africa with some frequency. ;)

[Sugar Smack]

12. Oh, okay! I was wondering about the cover of his book. I'm off work

today, you see, and free time can sometimes be a person's worst enemy. :pals: How're you doing, tigereye?

[tigereye]

13. I'm just being silly

I haven't seen his book. He has become somewhat larger than life, hasn't he?

I loved him during the early period when his politics didn't seem so... overblown ....but I think he has become a cariacature of himself.

I'm good, trying to decide what to do today since the kid is off from school. Maybe the flower show or zoo.

[no name no slogan]

15. OOOOOOO!!! HE LOOKS SO SERIOUS!!!!!!!

Hey, Boner, LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP WILL YA?

You are NOT the Pope, nor Mother Theresa, nor Jeebus. You are an overrated, bigmouthed pop star. Just like your countryman Bob Geldoff. Only Geldoff actually wrote CATCHY TUNES once in awhile-- you seem to have abandoned that idea sometime after "The Unforgetable Fire"-- 20 FREAKING YEARS AGO.

Glad to see you're making productive use of your time today, Sug. Me? I've had to solve to meltdowns in two hours. I'm ready for a drink. :beer:

[Sugar Smack]

17. D'you think he's about to pop himself upside the head?

Isn't that what philosophers do?

:rofl:

I think that he can't smile for the camera because then that would be "selling out". In a world such as the one we live in, who can really "smile" with integrity? Check out the wraparound glasses. Those are good for thinking. Mine aren't nearly so smart-looking.

[no name no slogan]

21. Hard to take a guy with a pinky ring too seriously

Especially when he's doing the "Rightious Revolutionary Bruthah" hand/fist salute.
And he's a white guy.
And a multi-millionaire.
And records for a major label.
And wears leather pants.
And he wears wraparound glasses.
And hasn't written a decent song in over 20 years.

:P

PS check your PMs baby :*

[Sugar Smack]

23. Oh. Then per your definition, he's an "asshole".

See, this is why I love you. You called him "Boner". }(

[Elidor]

32. He looks like Bud Bundy grew up a little

Biggest rock star in the world? Did Mick Jagger die recently?

[Sugar Smack]

34. "Here are my fabulous knuckles. Feast your eyes"

:rofl:

And you know what? We're on the exact same wavelength about Mick Jagger. Isn't HE supposed to be the biggest rock star in the world? What do I really know anyway, right?

[LSK]

18. dammit! now 'with or without you' is in my head for the rest of the day

Thanks!

[Sugar Smack]

22. NOOOOOOOOO! *please forgive me*

:cry: I swear, I try not to be all that sadistic, but for me it's my fifth day, and I'm trying to drown it out. I use Boccherini or Vivaldi for that, and IT"S NOT WORKING!!

[LSK]

25. i will forgive you over time

I just need a little while to deal with this situation...

... now wheres my U2 CDs? :D

[Sugar Smack]

27. I'm maneuvering as well. Maybe I should go listen to "Googoo Dolls"

or something. Oh, the THINGS we'll resort to. Somebody once said:

"A drowning man will grab the blade of a sword".

:o

26. Here, maybe this will help

Pioneer of aerodynamics
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
they thought he was real smart alec
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
he thought big they called it a phallic
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
they didn't know he was panoramic
little eiffel stands in the archway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
keeping low doesn't make no sense
sometimes people can be oh so dense
they didn't want it but he built it anyway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
little eiffel stands in the archway
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
keeping low don't make sense
keeping low doesn't make no-sense
(little eiffel, little eiffel)
little eiffel stands in the archway
oh alexander i see you beneath
the archway of aerodynamics.

28. You just SAVED MY SANITY.

Thank you. I was beginning to lose it. :hug:

That was beautiful.

[no name no slogan]

29. glad to be of service, my love

:loveya: :*

[Sugar Smack]

42. Wait, I think I get it. He's knocking on the cover of the book,

trying to get out. He absolutely cannot be trapped in there with himself. Quick, someone get the "jaws of life"!

[In_The_Wind]

19. I haven't a clue, but I can relate to the max!

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I'll wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'll wait… without you

With or without you
With or without you.

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you…

With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you.

24. The earworms crawl in, the earworms crawl out-

How are you doing, Miz Joani? :D :party: :loveya:

Me, I'm hanging around, doing my impression of a "goob". ;-)

[In_The_Wind]

37. I'm cookin' up something good:

Brunswick Stew.

It's raining this afternoon, no gardening or trike riding today. x(

You have company flying in soon don't you?

[Sugar Smack]

38. Oh, I love Brunswick stew. How long are you letting it simmer?

Are there lots of taters in it? :9

Yes, I've got company then and I can't wait! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

44. About 5 hours on high.

Darn! The recipe didn't call for taters. I know it'll be better if I add some but that would mean another trip to the supermarket. x(


When does your company arrive?

[Sugar Smack]

45. Two weeks, baby!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm going to be spending the night at my friends' house tonight. It should be fun! We're hanging out in their backyard garden. O, YEAH!

[In_The_Wind]

46. O, YEAH!

Damn! I didn't know his trip was still two weeks off. x( bummer

I'll just have to distract you.
:evilgrin: How did he like your new pictures?

[Redstone]

30. U2 is boring. And WAY too full of themselves. I mean, someone calling

himself "The Edge?" Spare me.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

31. "Mister 'Edge'...or may I just call you, 'The'?"

:rofl:

"Edge, The" when checking into hotel rooms.

[no name no slogan]

40. Yeah, apparently "Dave Evans" was too Welsh-sounding

:rofl:

[petronius]

33. He's got his goggles on - maybe the picture is during a handball game...

[Sugar Smack]

35. Maybe he has swimmer's ear!

And he's trying to knock out the water. :o

[Magrittes Pipe]

39. Maybe he's trying to fist his ear.

He misheard someone talking about "aural sex"....

[Sugar Smack]

41. *snort*

:spray: :thumbsup:

[no name no slogan]

43. Used his aural exciter too much, I'd bet

better go sponge off that ear

[Sugar Smack]

47. .

:loveya: :spray:

[billyskank]

4.Does he think it looks "cool"?
