The Fly
im officially calling this thread the BeachBall thread because im hopefully devoted to beachballs & their lovers....post all you Beachball captions/pics/rants here..thnk you!
As far as I know, it was an inside joke, which has never been explained. All anybody saw was Bono mentioning a beachball, and Edge laughing hysterically.SimplyConfused said:Where did the beachball joke come from in the first place? I know it was from Slane Live DVD, when Bono gets the ball, blah blah blah. But the way he says 'Oh look Edge, a beachball' and the way Edge laughs makes me think there must be some inside joke with the band... But then, if it's an inside joke with the band then we wouldn't know, would we?
SimplyConfused said:Maybe they were thinking: "Wow, the first normal inflatable object..."

Hi hcbiggs you were at the first slane gig?? Wow. I'm so jealous..
I was there too!LostAtMoon said:In Lisbon a local radio station, sponsor of the concert, kept entertaining us by throwing beach balls while we were waiting for the show to begin (we had too much time on our hands since Keane did not perform that day).
