living in a rock and roll fantasy- and what's wron
So now Bono has posed with Bill Gates and several other uncool people, and we have the photographic evidence. The other guys joked once they never knew who he would show up in a pic with next. Your mission- find as many pics of Bono posed with dorks, goomers and otherwise not so cool people and post them here!

I'll start with the two most recent ones, Bill Gates and Paul O'Neil.

Ok, I have come out of hiding, and possibly to ruin my reputation to explain H to the Izzo...

Ok the song is by a rapper named Jay-Z, his nickname is Hova. I have no idea why, it just is...so anyway, in the chorus he is just spelling his name in "Izz" which was a popular way of tweaking your speech back in the 70's, kind of like pig latin is today.

H to the izz O
V to the izz A

For shizzle my nizzle, is also "Izz" speak for "For sure my _______" ("N" word I don't say, but it is a derogatory word for a black person)

It's just like "What's up"

*sigh*

Goes to hide in shame for admiting she likes Hip Hop...

OMG jasus...WHAT is up with that pic...bono looks terrible *runs for fear of PLEBA ladies beating me with a stick*

Well I'm not going to beat you! I don't like that pic either. I didn't like him with the extra short slicked down hair and those geeky looking frames on his glasses. He looked like a dorky old businessman. Hey, I like salad, but I don't like some of the dressings they put on it, same goes for him!

Paul O'Neill taps on Bono's shoulder.

Bono: 'Hu-ummmmh?'

Paul O'Neill (with a deep country southern accent, also soundin a bit hyper and wound up): 'Im tellin ye somethin for ye own good young man!!! That ye are a filty filty flirt all ova the place! My daughter is part o' this PLEBA clan, and I'vvvvvvve seen, Lord my eyes have seen the kinda gossip u create at that forum..............my god, ughhh *shivers*.....talkin 'bout ur elev....er.......elevate.........uh...elevated....uhm....well, lets just say ur giant mushroom then!

He's let himself go that far downhill? I mean he was never a hottie, but as rich as he is he could've gone for liposuction. I never would have recognized him!
