my happy place....Adam is there, for some reason..
I woke up this morning with a completely random thought, so I'll share.

Does The Edge sign his checks as The Edge?

I don't know. I'll have to ask him the next time I see him.

Ok PLEBA mission..

Find a check of either of theirs and post it here.

Ha! Somehow I get the impression that will never happen.
 
I think in the Flanagan book, he is shopping with Bono and he makes some remark about that? Can someone find that part? I DO remember Bono saying he signs he checks as P. Hewson though..

"Don't call me Shirley." - Larry

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time
 
I have a question, that is not particularly important, but it's not check-related.

how do you pronounce PLEBA?

when you think (or say) the word...do you say PLEE-BA or PLEH-BA?

just wondering.

I thought he signed them with only his initials?

He said in the book that his credit cards all say P.H. on them. He didn't want to get Paul Hewson because then people in the stores would call him that, and he considers Bono to be his name!! Sorry I don't have the exact quote. I am at work, and my Copy of "the Bible" is at home!!
 
Another "nothing particularly important" thing I thought of today while driving:

What did they talk about while they were in the Lemon?

I think they all dared Adam to strip and come out of the Leman naked....


no WAIT. Adam made them all pay him $20 to keep his clothes on and NOT come out of the Lemon naked.

I'm sure that's what happened.

I think of it as PLEE-BA but Elvis says its PLEH-BA.

Which makes no sense because Edge is pronounced EHHHDGE not EEEEEDGE.

Well it is unknown what they actually talked about, BUT, it has been revealed that they were actually thinking....

Adam: *This is great! The only thing that would make it better would have been if the rest of the band would have let me come out naked, ah they're just jealous and after all I wouldn't want to up stage the lemon!*

Edge: *Just because I built the lemon the rest of the band blames me when we get stuck in the bleedin' thing once, its hard being the scientist in the band*

Bono: *1st I wrote the song "Lemon" and now we have a huge mechanical lemon, I wonder if we're taking this lemon thing a bit too far...nah, we're rock stars! And like I always say "when life gives you lemons just have The Edge build you a huge lemon and take it on tour, forget the lemonade!"... Yeah! I'm a rock star...*

Larry: *I invented cool... and you're in a lemon with me!*

well, I'll always say PLEE-bah because we're continually PLEA-ing with the guys to come play with us, romp on us, call us, take us away, elevate us, etc. etc.

I know that sales people are trying to be friendly, but I hate it when they call me by my first name when I use a credit card or check. It's not like they even know me.

And If I was serving Bono I don't think that I would have the nerve to say anything to him, let alone call him Paul. I am sure that if I meet him then I will just freeze up.

I used to work at Blockbuster Video, and we HAD to call all the customers by their first name. I hated it.
 
Hmm, what did they talk about when they got stuck in the lemon,

Bono: "You've got yourself stuck in a lemon, and you can't get out of it...Hey! I should write that down for the next album...

Adam: "Help...I'm trapped in a lemon, how did I get trapped in a lemon" (Remember that part in the first Austin Powers he and Vanessa were on the bed in Vegas, and Vanessa says, "Austin, that's you in a nutshell..." and Austin goes into that big tangent)

Edge: *Does impression of mime trapped in a box, or well, lemon*

Larry: Stupid band, I told them all we should have just had a heart shaped stage, it would have made MY life easier...and less money spent.
