Can I just say how pleased I am to see PLEBA girls, one by one, discovering the delicious phenomenon that is Edge?
I gotta tell ya, over the years I've tried to convert many an acquaintance. While I was not always successful at getting others as involved w/ the power of the music and all that, strangely enough all these people seem to find some attachment to Edge. I've developed more inside jokes with friends about Edge than about Bono, even!
Examples:
1. I'm taking a walk w/ my roommate at the time. We'd just watched Popmart, and I noted to her, "Doesn't the Edge's moustache make him look like a porn star?" Right then, this woman passes by us, and hears a few *ahem* key words in what I said, and does an obvious double take as she passes. We see her do it, and crack up. I voice this woman's thoughts to my roommate:
"Edge is a porn star?"
So from then on, whenever things were in a state of confusion, we would pause, look around, and say in unison, "Wait, what?! Edge is a porn star?!"
2. The aforementioned roommate and I lived about a block away from Seattle's famous Edgewater Inn, a hotel built right on the water specifically for the 1962 World's Fair. There's a big red neon sign on the side of the building that says EDGEWATER INN. One night, we stopped in front of it, and I held up my hand in front of me so that WATER INN was blocked from my view, and I yelled "EDGE!" And thus a tradition was born.
So if you're in Seattle, and you pass this sign, hold up your hand (kind of like a Nazi salute, but with your palm out and thumb apart) in the Designated International Symbol for the Edge (D.I.S.E.) and yell "EDGE!" on behalf of myself and all of PLEBA.
3. Ever since we watched the live Edge chat together the other day, my buddy Scott and I have a new way to tell each other off if one of us is being a smart-ass:
"Feck off, Bono!"
4. Every time my ex-boyfriend and I watched Rock N' Roll Jeopardy together, I always had to call out, "I'll take 'Irish Guitarists Who Always Wear Hats That I Wanna F**k' for 500, Alex!"
That's all I can remember right now.
A thought occurs: I posted a few of the above jokes in an online Glossary I set up. Anyone can make one, and stick all their inside jokes and personal stuff in it. If you'd like to view mine, go to:

And I was just thinking: perhaps PLEBA should have its own glossary at vodkatea.com? It would be a shame if "Elevated" "Man Cleavage" and "Edgie- Wedgie-Poo-Poo" were lost to the ages.
I'd be more than happy to set the thing up, if you'll just provide me all the terms. I haven't been here too long, so it'd be up to you to help me complete the list.
