no worries! It all started (as far as I know) from the Slane Castle concert when someone threw a beachball onto the stage. Bono picked it up, grinned, turned around to Edge and said "Look Edge, a beachball!"....it kind of took on a life of its own at Pleba from there....

ok , I get the beachball thing , but what about shiny things ?

I'm not positive, but I think the shiny jokes are just something PLEBAns started about Bono, possibly due to his 
looks in photos. 
I don't remember who started the first shiny joke.
I wonder if we could make a thread that addresses these issues. I don't mind answering them, but it'd be cool if we could just direct caption 'newbies' to a central place where these answers could be given. (Please don't think anyone here is bothered by your questions; it's just that they come up quite a bit, and maybe it'd be good to have a simple place where all the questions can be addressed - just trying to be effecient.
) That being said, I guess we need someone to answer all the questions! Here's what I know:
Beach Ball jokes: It all started from the Slane Castle concert when someone threw a beachball onto the stage. Bono picked it up, grinned, turned around to Edge and said "Look Edge, a beachball!"....it kind of took on a life of its own at Pleba from there.... (You're right gluey! I just copied and pasted your answer.)
Adam's superglue jokes: completely made up by chickadee, on July 8th, 2005:
H chord jokes started with, uh, who was that? Oh yeah, it was me.
Larry admitted in an interview a few months (or years now?) ago that he is terrified of cats, so we of course exploit this in PLEBA. However, Larry being obsessed with having every hair in place and having a lifetime's supply of hair gel on hand is something PLEBAns made up. I'm not sure who originated this one. At least we *think* it's made up.
Did I miss anything? Did I mess anything up? Let me know. I'll start a thread just addressing this so we can refer future caption 'newbies' to it.
Duh. After writing all of this, it occurred to me that http://www.u2captions.com/explanation.html has these explanations. Look at "Origin of the Species". (It's a site I helped start with other PLEBAns here - thanks Miringeltje for buying the url, but we haven't really been doing much with it lately. Hopefully after summertime I can spend more time contributing to it and organizing it.)

Once again, Adam found the old tried & tested 'superglue' trick worked wonders after he bet Bono couldn't cover his entire face with his hand. Mwahaha.

^ Maybe someone thought his hair gel was hairball gel and gave it to the cat.
Sorry...couldn't resist.
Anyway, on with the show:
: You're shittin' me. Lemon Grrrrrl's over there, and she thinks I want her autograph? Isn't she the one who told everyone about the H chord incident? Does she know how much crap I have to put up with from everyone about that???
~OR~
: Don't toy with me. No, really.
<waiter> I'm serious, Mr. Bono...you can...
: You're joking. I can have edible beach balls for dessert???
Sorry...couldn't resist.
