So as you all remember, the lovely and talented Cassandra made a book of captions and successfully delivered this book to none other than Mr. The Edge himself in NYC! :bow: Whoo, Cassandra!!!! :dance:

Following are some of the captions that the boys themselves will get to enjoy (or already have!!!!! :hyper: ) - and we get to grin at all over again. Hopefully this will be the complete book soon enough, but I just couldn't wait for the whole thing to be finished.

The caption book starts off with Meghan's lovely one (see below), but from there Cassandra and I have a different order, just due to making it easier for everyone (read: me). I've got them organized by contributor. Cassandra had them organized from baby band to current, with a separate beach ball section, if any of you are interested in how she did it.

So, without further ado, here are about 50 captions that made it into her book...enjoy!
 
The very first caption the boys get to enjoy, courtesy of our lovely Meghan:

:bono: It's not true! It's not true! Larry just CAN'T be better looking than me!
:edge: Don't worry Bono, I'm sure he'll age horribly.
:larry: Little do they know, so long as I avoid cats, I'll never age!!! MWAH-HA-HA-HA!
:adam: Hurry up and take the photo.

:bono: Why did you ask Larry to bring the beach ball? You know I always bring the best ones.
:edge: I'm sorry. I thought he knew what I meant by 'Beach ball.' I guess I over estimated him.

:adam: Are you happy now Larry? You've ruined our entire day! Why couldn't you just bring a beachball?
:larry: I'm sorry! I just don't get it -- we're at the beach, this is a ball......
:bono: You'll never understand the true beauty of a REAL beach ball.

:adam (in hotel lobby): Wow. I don't believe it, The Edge.
:larry:: Yeah, how'd you get Bono to stay in his room and be quiet so we could chat?
:edge:: I showed him a chord sequence to a new song I'm working on that he'll never figure out.
:bono:: Okay - B flat, D, got that. A, C....H? What the heck is an H chord? Damn! Can't ask the others either, they'll never stop making fun of me if they know I don't know what an H chord is!

:bono: (in auctioneer's voice): Okay, ladies, his name is Larry Mullen, Jr. and he's the drummer in the biggest rock 'n roll band on the planet. You're bidding to have a date with him in New York City - dinner and a Broadway show. How about we start the bidding at 50 dollars. 50, 50, do I hear 50? Great - back row, 50. How about 75. 75, 75, do I hear 75?
 
In order for the entire band to show up to receive the Humanitarian Honor in Portugal, Bono and Edge had to tell Larry and Adam they were getting special awards.

:larry:: Thank you, Mr. President! I'm so humbled to have me gorgeous hair honored in your country!

:adam:: Thank you, Mr. President! I'm so glad my superglue tricks make you and your people so happy! Oh, and no need to pin that medal on me. I brought my trusty superglue to keep it on!

:larry:: So, Adam. There was something I wanted to ask you about.
:adam:: What would that be, Larry?
:larry:: Well, um, it's kind of embarrassing...
:adam:: Larry, we're practically brothers! You can talk to me about anything. Just let it out.
:larry:: <sighs> Well, have you ever had...that not so fresh feeling? I just don't know how to deal with it!
:adam:: Ah, yes. Well, since you are the baby of the band, it's about time you asked me about it. You see, when a man reaches a certain point in his life, :blahblah:...doctor's appointment...:blahblah:...turn your head and cough...
:larry:: WTF are you talking about, Adam??? I meant that even though it looks like I'm having a good hair day, I still feel like all my hairs aren't in the precise place!
