Sunday U2 Sermons: Are you Bono or Bob?

Normally today, I'd be at game with Jeff and the crew, but I felt the beginning of a cold creeping up and so instead of being a plaguebearer, I've decided to stay at home, watch Conan and then hop over to Erich's DVD of Dogma (still brushing up on my Jay impersonation).

So with some goading from Keidra, I'm finally working out a quiz that I had kicking around in the back of my head. And here it is:

Are you Bono or Bob Geldof? It's a simple quiz to find out what your activist style is.

1. What would you rather do to the world?
a. Give it a kiss and maybe a little cuddle.
b. Punch its lights out.

2. Who more likely is your lifemate:
a. Someone down-to-earth, shies from the spotlight but has a strong activist streak.
b. A nutty TV celeb who you'll have a messy divorce with.

3. What is the less absurd name for a child.
a. Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q
b. Fifi Trixibelle

4. How would you encourage people to donate to your cause?
a. Learn as much as you can and try and work out compromises with the power dealers.
b. Scream "GIVE! ME! THE! MONEY!"

5. Do you work well in groups?
a. I need groups to keep me reined in and to bounce ideas off of.
b. I had a group for awhile, but decided to give it up for my cause.

6. Worst fashion mistake:
a. Frosted mullet and checkered pants.
b. Looking like Gollum with an Andy Capp hat on.

7. Do you believe in God?
a. Dude, I hang with him all the time. I've been known to walk on water and you should've been at the concert where I made on beer sate the thirst of 15,000 people and fed them from one box of popcorn.
b. There is no God.

Tally up how many a's and b's you have.

If you have more a's than b's -- congratulations! You're Bono! You believe in being educated about your cause and working with both sides to get something believable worked out. Your day job may get irritated at you, but in the end, it all works out OK.

If you have more b's than a's -- congratulations! You're Bob Geldof! You believe in getting in people's faces and be aggressive in getting attention to your causes. While that may piss people off, you've also got the power to get people to follow your cause.
