How deep does your U2 obsession run?!

[bonocomet]

I bought this... couldn't resist.

I think this fact will trump everything else said in this thread so far. I have thought long and hard about this, done all the appropriate estimates and calculations, and... *cue build-up music* ....

During my life, I have heard Bono's voice more than any other person's. That's how many hours in a day I listen to U2, and for how long I've listened to them.

Will you be posting a photo ?

yeah, maybe... when it's finished and if my camera works

That soap rocks, bonocomet! The packaging for it looks Pop-ish, too! What does it smell like?

 

[bonocomet]

I got the Mofo soap at Tower Records... (which is now out of business and selling everything off so they might still have it in the stores on clearance) It smells good, um I don't know how to explain it... a fresh scent... what do you think Bono Mot?

oooh on the back of the box it says...Bergamot, fresh lemon, and Spanish amber. 100% pure vegetable base. There were other "Mofo" items there too beside the soap I remember...

Oh yeah, and yes. I definitely thought it had the Pop look too! Even the little guy on there reminds me of Pop Bono. Maybe there was a Pop fan at the Blue Q Company in Pittsfield, MA!

 

[Bono Mot]

It smells good, um I don't know how to explain it... a fresh scent... what do you think Bono Mot?

It's a fresh scent, but a little sultry too, if that makes sense. Not surprised to hear it has bergamot (hee, I said "mot") in it. And my bar is black...is it supposed to be, comet?

Obession: This pretty well sums up my 26 years of obsessing. I bought a new car recently, and it has a 6 track CD changer and in the three months I've had it...nothing has lived in it except various U2 discs!

I also dragged my kidney-stone-ridden husband to Charlotte last year for the concert...reckon he was okay...I didn't notice!

And I've pretty well alienated any friends with my obsessive chattering...except the ones who like them too.

And it's NOT an obsession. It's a HOBBY! A hobby that keeps me off the streets...more or less....

 

[cstar]

I spend alot of my worktime here... I hope I don't get my internet access revoked cuz they do monitor!!!

 

[cstar]

Must....do.... work....

 

[Bono's Doll]

See I'm at work and looking here too--If they say anything--I'll use the excuse I'm on my break. (I have two screens on my desk--one for work/one for keeping up with U2 stuff.)

 

[Bono Mot]

^Privacy screen, baby! And alt-tab. And don't forget to clear out your "history" files at the end of the day.

 

[Bono Mot]

I'm so obsessed that when I went on vacation to Asheville last year, I tore this out of the phone book!

Yes, I do plan on going in December, when I visit again. Now taking orders!

 

[cstar]

Privacy screen is a great idea. I do the "Alt + tab" alot to switch screens.
But my work monitors in real time!

But despite that I can't help myself. I'm obsessed!

 

[babyu2lover]

all your obsession are incredible...I love them...
so I use to write bono's or u2's words in all my classwork or exams...i always write YOU TOO...
then in my bag there's a pice of paper with bono's quotes about grace...
and sometimes I write U2 or pices of songs on my arms or legs to give me good luck....
I 'm crazy...

 

[cstar]

I need to carry around a piece of paper with Bono quotes about grace! That's awesome!

Are you really in Italy? What town?

That's great! My friend and I once purposefully got a question wrong in our French class because we were supposed to answer "Bon Mot" for the description of a funny witticism, and we both wrote "Bon-O Mot" just cause we could! Ha! Hence my screen name here...and a very bad grade on my French exam!

That was really beautiful .

O0h I'll have anything with Bono on it! And staying on the subject of food, I love cheddar cheese but it's a very scarce commodity here in Finland, you can only find it in a few of the large super markets of Finlands larger cities. Well out of one such super market I found a cheddar cheese by the name of 'The Dubliner' and it's actually made in Dublin, Ireland, so of course I bought it and think of Bono every time I have a piece!!

And for those poor souls who didn't find the U2 cover of this month Q, but bought the mag anyway for the U2 interview inside, here it is in all it's glory....

And for those of you you didn't find any copies of the November 2006 Q and would like to also read the interview, let me know and I'll scan and post the article.

 

[fly so high!]

How far does my U2 obsession run.....well i'm here AEST 1:24am reading and posting on this forum.......... and 2 little kids will be jumping on my bed asking for Cheerios in around 5 hrs and a bobcat will be tearing down my backyard from around 7am in the morning....................................................................i'm off to bed.

I know you are just probably joking and judging from when you joined but that you've only ever posted twice, that you're obviously a 'lurker', but you should still have realised by now not take some of the things said here too seriously! Our obsession, which may seem extreme to the more casual fan, is totally harmless and hurts no one! It's just a bit of fun (in some cases a lot of fun! ) and something to do, especially when you're stuck out in the back of beyond with nothing much else to do and it's minus 15 centigrade outside!! I mean, we're all totally sane, right guys....

wow, are these drawings??? did you draw them yourself? if so, then you're very talented i must say...

I can't even draw a stick figure, moussy! No, these were purchased for me by some friends. Some guy draws all kinds of celebrities - we found these at a local festival, but I've also seen them in malls and stuff.

Thanks for the cover scan!!! And, yes, please do post the article. The mag. never came around here. Stupid bookstores!

 

[Galeongirl]

I spent about 8 lessons of a boring class on this... it's the inside of my workbook...

Hey, I hope you able to wait until this coming Thursday coz I'm back off to collage soon (15 mins time!) and I don't have a scanner at my student flat but I will scan the article as soon as I get back on Thursday night!! Gotta go!!!

 

[ArrogantU2Fan]

There are a lot of worse things to be obsessed about...I think a U2 obsession is totally healthy Love Susan

 

[susanp6]

I spent several hours this evening putting together this collage of all the U2 pictures I've clipped from magazines (mostly Rolling Stone) over the last year or so:

And now my back is killing me
