OK, I thought y'all might want to take part in a thread called
"You know you're obsessed with U2 when......"

I'll start.

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you can't hear the word "ultraviolet"
without immediately singing "BABY BABY BABY, LIGHT MY WAY" at the top of your
lungs.

You know you're obsessed with U2, when everybody around you just doesn't
'get-it'! And then, the dopey-ones say..'U2 is too' this or 'too that'.
That's when I just move along. Some people are just soo
dead-from-the-neck-up! But hey! That's what the Backstreet Boys are
for!:)

The fisrt stage of obsession starts when you say to some
one "have a nice day" and they say "You Too" and you think "yeah
U2".
Mildly obession is when no matter what anyone says you can find
some lyric of some U2 song to go with what there saying.
For instence "Have a nice day" said to you brings Bono voice in
full volume in your head singing "Some days are better then
others".
Moderatly obsessed is when you wake up in the morning
singing "I'm wide awake, I'm not sleeping" and go to bed
singing "Sleep, sleep tonight".
Completely obsessed is when you know more about the band members
life then family members, your stereo is just there to play U2
music, you purchase a car based on the stereo so you can listen
to U2 at full capacity, you spent 1000 plus dollars on a
computer that is a U2 memorial.
In need of U2A when all of the above apply.
"Hi my name is greybird and I'm a U2aholic"

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you look at pictures of the band just
before falling asleep to force yourself to dream about them.

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you hear Baz Lurhman's
"Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" for the first time, catch the
lyric stating "you too will get old", and say "How fucking dare he,
talk shit about my band like that! I'm gonna go punt his Aussie ass
so far into his throat he's gonna have to swallow to take a dump..."

You know your an obbsessed U2 fan when you bring photos of your kids out of
your bag at the tavern to show someone,, and in with the photos are pictures
you took at the last U2 concert.
"This is JT, he is 13, this is The Edge descending from the lemon, here is
Mary when she was two,, here is a close up of Bono's eyes on the big screen,
etc etc...."

You know your an obsessed U2 fan when you teach others a U2 song from the
musical notes tattoo'd on your arm.

You know your an obsessed U2 fan when you keep your autographed pic of Bono
on the headboard of your bed,, and your husband doesn't care that he himself
hangs in the frontroom with the others....

You know your an obsessed U2SexSlave when you wear a bright red t-shirt that
BOLDLY reads, "U2SexSlaves" to a local hockey game where everyone else is
wearing green and white to support the team (but I figure it is legal
though,, because my team is called The Irish and they are hunky & talented
too.)

You know you're obsessed with U2, when the only reason you married
your wife, is because you didn't know anyone called 'Gloria'
(Claudia).

J/K honey.. ~ducking~

You know you're obsessed with U2, when you air guitar, air drum,
sing, and steer with your knees, while driving.

You know you're obsessed with U2 when
You turn on the TV and watch a show where the boy is about to kiss the girl
and says I love you too and you wait and you wait for the girl to make a
joke about u2 the band but it never happens.

Every time theres a big fight on in Vegas and the camera pans to one of the
casinos you expect Bono to jump out into the street and rolling the bonnet
of a car.

You feel like killing the DJ when you here him say, and now a song from the
biggest band in the world The Backstreet Boys.

Your local record store stays open past midnight for the new U2 album and
your 3rd in the queue !!!!

Some uptight newsreader whose trying to be cool pronounces Bonos name as BOW
NO and makes you kinda mad.

You don't think much of Aerosmith apart from Living On The Edge

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you're writing about J.J.Thompson in
Physics and you immediately think of Larry Mullen's dog.

You know you're obsessed with U2 when somebody uses the phrase "happy as Larry"
and you instantly think "Which Larry? Mullen?" (I nearly laughed myself sick
when Pete & Geoff said exactly this on Virgin Radio earlier.)

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you come across a box at school which
says "Achtung" on the side, and you start frantically searching for a pen so
you can write "Baby" after it.

You know you're obsessed with U2 when you find yourself writhing on the floor
in anguish because you've just caught the very end of a U2 song on the radio.

this actually used to get on my nerves when i'd tell my girlfriend that i loved
her and she'd say, "i love you you, too", and i'd think "well so do i, but what
does that have to do with anything?" and then i'd realize what she meant. man,
that still gets me every time. we all gotta work on bringing back the word
"also" into common usage, though i guess that that would kind of sound funny.

Or when you hear it on the radio and you feel like telling the world
that *your* guys are on the radio. Kinda like a proud parent!

This is so funny! Tonight at Victory Market I bought the biggest friggin'
lemon ever! The thing is giamungous! Usually I avoid things that are unusually
large, you gotta wonder why it got so big and all. I smirked my way over to the
brussell sprouts after putting it in my cart, thinking "damn, I got me a big
lemon."
Of course the purchase of the lemon is a requirement for Lemon Chicken, the
cooking of which requires the singing of "Lemon."
Lehhhhhmonnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
