Here it is: The Caption Book Thread!

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: So you see, here's my secret for great hair. You take some ordin'ry hair gel and mix it in with some Perrier - the trick is to get the exact ratio for the slickest look with the most volume. What is the exact ratio? <laughs> Oh, no, no, no. Won't tell you that! You'll have to figure it out! It's a coveted Mullen family secret that goes way back.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

All of the following by our lovely and ubertalented Miringeltje:

: Hey Adam, I'm so winning this bet that Bono is hanging more on my neck than yours.

<thinking>: Darn, the Edge is right. I'd better get my superglue out and put some on my shirt during the break.

After the break...

<thinking>: Ha, Bono falls for it everytime. Let's see who wins this bet now, Edge!

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

(euphoric): Hey Adam, you see this. Yeah, that's right, my hands are still free!! I outwitted you this time. I got Larry to hold my drum sticks for me.
(angrily thinking): WTF!! I can not believe I fell for that. I should have known there was something off when Bono said: "Larry, you can be upfront during LAPOE". Next time I'm staying behind m'own drum kit.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

<thinking>: I told them to wear normal shoes, so it wouldn't be to obvious that I am the prettiest band member. But do they listen? Of course not. I can't believe how easy they're making it for me. Hmm well, now I think of it, I guess it's OK as long as I don't need to look at all them toes.


Turns head away.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: This new hair gel I've recently been using, has got an amazing side effect. It makes my hands so soft like I've never touched a drum stick in my entire life. Here, feel it.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

I think MrsDarcy contributed this one:

: Wheee look what I got! Haha Edge, you're so jealous of my beachball!

B: Ok, very funny Adam....

(offstage, watching the monitors) I'm a genius!

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Continuing with the lovely and ubertalented Miringeltje...

(to Edge): Is this how you play the H-chord?

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

(big grin on his face): "I'm in such an awfully good mood tonight. Do you wanna hear why? Earlier today an enormous beachball was found floating at sea right in front of m'house. It was so big the coast guard came out 'cause they thought it was something else and they took it on shore with them. Where of course, I was already waiting to claim the beach ball as mine! I'm telling you it even looks big in picture. Like this:
(Bono puts his hands out to indicate the size. )

"It made it on the news and all. I'm not kidding! The greatest beach ball in my collection as of yet."

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

I *forget* who did this one.

: Hello?
Ali: Hi baby, we're be home in 10 minutes. Please tell me you're not wearing my dresses again!
(sounding shifty): Ummmm, no, dear...what would make you say something like that?
Ali: I know you too well, darling. Please change into something more daddy-like before you send the girls into therapy. Bye! [hangs up]
(mutters to self): How the $*#@()$ does she do that???

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

That's it for now kiddies. I still have Miringeltje's Rome beach ball incident to do, however my car is needing some oil at the moment so I need to tend to that right now. But I'll be back!

Hope these make you as happy as they make me.

 

[Smilla]

Thanks for this Cassandra + Lemon Grrrrrl!

 

[Advah]

They made me more than happy, I burst out laughing on several of them!!
Thanks again Cassandra and Lemon Grrrrrrl!

 

[Smilla]

Hi Advah!

 

[Advah]

Oh, hi Smilla!

 

[Merc]

^ Thay say it all really!

Thanks again to everyone, for contributing, making the book, this thread - you're great girls!

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

I can almost see the headlines now: Guitar God Mr. The Edge invents a new chord, and calls it simply, "H". Just what the 'H' stands for is a mystery - Heaven? Hell? Hysterical? Holy?

The Holy Chord.

Oh nevermind me, I'm rambling. I'm giddy at the thought of The Edge seeing the H chord joke.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

<thinking>: Mmmm, is that a beach ball I see over there??

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Bono's so excited about the discovery of the beach ball, he's all smiles and has started singing: Oooh, yes it is!!

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Bono has stopped singing and is now demanding: That beach ball over there, I want it!

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

gesturing: Common' here with the beach ball

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

full desire: Oh, I can't wait to have such a beautiful big beach ball in my arms once again. Unfortunately for Bono, the people in Rome seem quite fond of their beach ball and aren't willing to share it with him.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

They're too afraid he might lose it. Bono is growing impatient and throws his hands in the air yelling: What gives?! I'm still waiting for that beach ball. But the Rome crowd isn't willing to give it up.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

The next morning, Bono, still upset about the beach ball incident, calls for a meeting with the mayor of Rome. He drags the Edge along with him, 'cause he's quite fond of beach balls as well. All of them sit down to talk. Both the mayor as the Edge have no clue what the convo is going to be about. Bono only told them it was an important issue.

: So mayor I'm glad you could make some time to address this serious issue.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: I brought my friend the Edge along as well. Since he's pretty upset by the whole situation as well.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: You see, during our concert yesterday, I saw one of a few beach balls that we don't have in our collection yet. Right, Edge?

is thinking: Oh my, I can't believe this is what Bono wanted to talked to the Mayor about. If I had known, I wouldn't have come with him. The mayor is frowning and staring at Bono in disbelief, starting to get angrier as Bono continues complaining....

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Bono is just going on and on.....

: So I point to that beautiful beach ball and go: is it for me?

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

: I was extremely excited about the whole situation! That beautiful beach ball for me. So I am putting my hands up in the air eagerly awaiting for the beach ball to arrive in my arms. Probably stood there for like...., but they weren't . I can't believe that even after Live8, people still don't get the principle of fair trade. I mean all I was asking for was that beach ball and in return I would have sung any song they would have suggested. Seemed like a really good deal to me. Only a beachball to hear us, the best rock band in the world, perform whatever you want us to...

is getting extremely fed up and is thinking: Just shut the f* up, Bono! Get over it already, will ya'!

The mayor ain't thinking that differently about it as well.

But both, the mayor and the Edge, are letting Bono continue, occasionally nodding and hmhm-ing to pretend they are actually listening to a word he's saying, until he has finished raging and has gotten everything of his chest.

 

[Lemon Grrrrrl]

Content that he got to say everything he wanted, Bono stands up to leave, but the mayor has some other ideas before Bono actually gets to walk away. He's making sure Bono has some other balls to think about for the next couple of days.

is grinning at the sight of it, thinking: I couldn't have reacted better myself!
