Disharmonious, cacophonous, highly ear-wrecking background noise, but background nonetheless. 149, You’ve hung a sign on the tree in your front garden proclaiming it the Joshua Tree. 150, You give your address on annoying Internet petitions as “No-Name Street, Hanover Quay, Lypton Village, Ireland”. Actually, you give your address as that all the time. 151, Drawing on your extensive U2 knowledge is as easy to you as breathing. If they gave school exams in U2, you’d be a straight A student. (Oh how I wish…) 152, You’ve watched the Boston video so many times the tape wore out. So you bought the DVD. 153, The first thought that springs to your mind every morning is “U2”. Then you wake up and say “It’s a beautiful day!” 154, Every time you see O2 in your science book, you change it to a U. 155, You use U2 mnemonics. (It seriously works. I used it in my last science exam and remembered everything with the aid of McPhisto.) 156, Unless U2 come up in a conversation at least once in 10 minutes, you get bored. 157, If someone insults Bono/U2, you are absolutely up in arms and will hurl abuse at them for hours on end. 158, In television programmes, if U2 are on in the background/there is a U2 poster/U2 are mentioned you immediately forget plot, characters, story and wait with bated breath to see if they will come up again. 159, People who do not like U2 are regarded by you as philistines, however obviously misled ones, to be gently coaxed and educated in recognition of real music. 160, You have drafted (but never sent) at least 5 letters to the Irish Times complaining about journalists complaining about Bono. 161, You recorded Slane twice… once from RTE, once from Channel 4, even though you knew it was the same show – just in case they showed anything different. 162, You cried when Bob Hewson died. 163, If U2’s on the front of it, it’s gotta be good. If U2 advertised breakfast cereal, you’d buy it. (My brother just read this one and suggested calling the cereal Bon-os. C’mon, who wouldn’t buy it???? Slogans please!) 164, You’re fantastically, utterly, mind-blowingly jealous of EVERYONE who’s ever seen them live. Because you haven’t. And your ambition is to. And you want to. NOW! 165, You can pick up on words in totally unrelated sentences and immediately begin singing the song they feature in. 166, You own a “cat dubh”. 167, You buy everything they release, the day it comes out, the hour the shop opens. 168, Even though you know that the Top 40 charts are superficial teenybopper-ruled nonsense, if ANYONE dares to knock U2 off Number 1 they’re your sworn enemy for life. 169, You read every little piece of newspaper writing about U2 – you’ll buy newspapers you never read if they have U2 in them. 170, Once, on the radio on the way to school, you heard about a website called isbonobald.com. You fumed all day in school, telling everyone you know about what an outrageous piece of nonsense, how dare they cast aspersions on YOUR Bono’s greatness or hirsuteness for that matter and vowing that when you become a lawyer you are gonna SUE THEIR ASS!!!! 171, If anyone mentions the words “hair transplant” to you, they’d better start running. 172, The Messiah complex is catching. You daydream about saving the world – with Bono, of course. Report this message as abuse   silverfox - 05:27am Jan 21, 2003 (34.)
