I strapped a Pyramid to my head and ran down the road naked pretending to be a plane shouting look at my Foof.

I once (20+ years ago) got given a book about obelisks. It was very boring.

But from that, if I'm remembering rightly, they're a big thing with catholics, and with freemasons, and the pyramid on the top is meant to have a size relationship with the height of the column - I think it was 1/10th, tho i could be wrong about that.

 

I remember getting a mini-comic about an obelisk that was packaged with, I think, my Mekaneck He-Man figure. Skeletor used it to call monsters into existence. He-Man won in the end, obviously.

Don't know if that helps.

It was 6pm our time. Once it hit 6 the people with boarding passes were able to enter their code online and were greeted with a message telling them to check their emails on Thursday and their adventure will begin on Friday.

We can all come back on Thursday expecting something but I think all we'll learn is that Foo Fighters are playing a show the following day and the boarding pass holders are invited.

Not sure when I expect the Glasto announcement to happen within all this. During the gig, I guess.

Are we sure it's not just an elaborate hoax by someone? Surely if these boarding pass things had been sent out by the Foos there would have been more than a couple of photos from a handfull of people on twitter?

I don't think it's a hoax...but I was just thinking similar this. If it is an intimate gig, surely it's not so intimate they have only sent four invites out?

A hoax? 

So somebody has set this all up, got into the foos site, inputted data, then gone on their twitter, followed the poeple who received them, and so on....

leave it out

It's very very fucking elaborate if so. Don't forget the web site.

How many people have got these, who decided not to share on twitter etc? I'd suspect a larger amount than those who have put it on social media....

Yes true, but still seems a very low amount. I'm not an oversharer on social media but would still probably put this on after seeing all the fuss!

[Tdiz]

Maybe they just sent a few out to get a buzz going maybe there will be some spare seats on the flight come Thursday 

[Purple aki squat]

Maybe the flight disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle as used to happen when planes vanished without trace and everyone believed in the mysterious powers of this geographical three sided square. 

Could it be magic?

Could it be Manilow?
