Usually not in the form of Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry.

Don’t tell that to Martin Prusek, who proudly wears U2 on his mask:

Prusek plays for Dynamo Riga in Russia’s KHL hockey league. You can see a couple more photos of his U2-themed goalie mask on this article that features 19 other unique masks.

The Goal(ie) is Soul

As a U2 fan, my eyes automatically find U2 books, CDs et cetera in stores without me consciously looking for them – after all those years they just seem conditioned to do that. In a book or music shop, that would be perfectly normal. But when I was in Chile recently, it quite unexpectedly happened in a supermarket – in the personal care section.

I couldn’t believe it at first. U2 hair coloring! That would be perfect in case Adam ever misses his blonde days… Apart from hair dye, this Chilean brand also sells treatment and styling products. Now who wouldn’t want U2 to put an end to those pesky bad hair days?

The only question is: is it any good? Magnificent? Or a total disaster? If any Chilean fans out there would like to comment, please go ahead, I’m dy(e)ing to know .

U2’s Shining Colors

There are a couple lines I might’ve written differently, but also a couple good ones, too. And for those who don’t know, this Hitler parody video is a popular meme on the web. People have made similar videos for a variety of news/events, changing the subtitles to fit the subject of their parody.

Hitler Learns About U2 360 Tour Postponement

What do they dance to? Michael Jackson, Tag Team and…U2.

Paul Silveria creates a “hoedown mosh pit” from the moves he choreographs, and sometimes teaches in unconventional spaces (warehouses, for example). That’s great for young folks, but purists aren’t apparently happy about it, seeing it as a threat to the classic pastime.

Read more about it (and find out where you can go square-dancing) here.

Square Dancing May Give Some “Vertigo”

Guess who called me this morning?

Inevitable, wasn’t it?

(That’s what happens when the caller blocks their number from showing up in caller ID systems.)

Guess who called me today?

We’re all very excited to launch this line of branded @U2 products. We think this will allow us to revolutinize dynamic marketing channels and create bleeding-edge, dot-com synergy to build on the global mindshare of @U2. It’s our way of harnessing integrated solutions to enhance the distribution channels that people use every day. We’re always thinking out-of-the-box and trying to redefine holistic relationships with our readers.

Okay, that’s all a bunch of B.S. (sorry for the foul language) This is actually a funny/gag birthday gift that Sherry and Steve sent me, no doubt inspired by my frequent use of the word “awesomesauce.”

I love it. I’ll never, ever open this bottle of ketchup.

PS – you can make your own Heinz ketchup bottle, too: http://www.myheinz.com/home.asp

Would You Like Some @U2 Ketchup With That?

Wait for it to load, and then just keep clicking the squares/photos. You could waste hours doing this.

“He turned out pretty well.  Haven’t found a use for him yet, but he’s nice to have around,” Brian said. Click here for more pics of Bono, the puppet, including a pic of Brian’s sketch with notes.

Hoggworks Studios are “purveryors of the finest puppets” and they have some awesome creations.  Hey!  It’s Stephen Colbert!  And there’s Poodles the Psychotic Raccoon.
