When me mate Michael met Bono......

[mad1]

..okay this story is very brief, but what the heck, I dont tink I ever told yas!

Back in 97 in that 'net cafe, Michael was the one who helped me set up my email and showed me how to use the net to get U2 pics and info and he told me he one time a few years earlier (Zoo TV era) he bumped into Bono with two bigger guys walking down a wee place called 'Pottinger's Entry' in the middle of Belfast Town here

and he ran over and said he was a big fan and asked for his autograph and got it, but the cutest ting was that Bono was holding a bag of sweeties and offered one to Mikey!!!

But, as Mikey put his hand in, Bono told him to close his eyes to make it more fun....to surprise himself..........Mikey got his sweet and Bono said he had to go...........Mikey said he was a gentleman............how cool it that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is freaking hilarious!!! Now I want some candy.

Hey, you're not supposed to take candy from strangers, but Bono's not really a stranger, right?

If you are really good friends with The Edge, you can just call him The~ Adam

[mad1]

No hes not a stranger, hes just my Uncle Sam in a rock-star get-up......

anyway, Mikey.........looks very like Edge.............has a beanie like Edge too.................well he kinda does, or tinks he does, he looks more like erm, Eagle-Eyed Cherry........maybe thats not so much like Edge then!!!!!!!

But with the Beanie he does!!!!!!!!!!!!

but me and he arent in touch these days..................

 

[achtung__baby]

Might just be me but if Bono gave me a sweet I'd end up keeping it forever!

Me too, I'd never eat the thing - I'd find a place to laminate it forever!!!

Meeting Larry:
*MG shows Larry poster*
*Larry reads poster*
*Larry smiles and says "Thank you that's very nice of you"*
*Larry signs paper, shakes MG's hand*
*MG almost dies then sees tearaway pants and gets bad ideas*

That is a dilemma! What did she end up doing with it? It seems like the U2 boys like to hand out treats. Do they do trick-or-treating in Ireland, or is that just an American thing? Maybe they want to spread the treats in Ireland!

That candy part is so cute/sweet.

Cuuute story. Sort of reminds me of when fellow forum member 'whiteflag' met Adam outside of Hanover Quai and he offered her a stick of chewing gum. She took it and starting chewing it because she thought it would be rude not to....but afterwards her big dilemma was...to keep it or not to keep it! lmoa.

 

[hippy]

Now sweets remind me of Bono too! Argh! I can never escape the wonder that is U2, but the ? is do I really want to? NAHHHHHH.

Cute story!

One love, one life...
Give peace a chance!
Don't let the bastards grind you down!

Bono: I don't walk, I swagger! I sashayed once, but just once. It wasn't for me.

I WANT CANDY FROM BONO.

Candy....in an all girls' school, candy is like cigarettes in prison.

I agreed to tutor this Freshman in Algebra because this teacher promised he'd give me candy if I did. I'm a slave to the candy.

Now I'm starvin.'
