Crop Circles

Haystacks are frequently found in and around crop circles, which David Icke attributes to alien forces who are in league with a one-world government controlled by Jews, such as Miss Streisand. Do I win ?

You should win

Brilliant!

Carl Parker | 27 January 2012 - 7:50pm

That's possibly better

than the answer I had in mind.

(Although Giant Haystacks is actually a reptilian who inhabits the hollow moon. Barbra Streisand is just one of his minions.)

Wogie walk?

They all walked off when being interviewed by the Greatest Living Irishman (apparently) Sir Terence Wogan?

Carl Parker | 27 January 2012 - 7:49pm

Ooh, ooh, I know...

they're the only three people who have played for Coventry, won a Grammy AND defeated Big Daddy.

Sting Ono | 27 January 2012 - 8:22pm

good try

but Brian Kilcline beat Big Daddy on World of Sport and didn't Mick Coop win a Grammy in the early 70s ?

0
philsproson | 27 January 2012 - 9:01pm

I think you'll find

the Grammy went to Bill Glazier for his experimental song cycle based on the original works of Moldovan kite polishers. Easy mistake to make.

Molesworth | 28 January 2012 - 11:34am

you're right

but was that the year Ernie Machin and John O'Rourke got "Best live act"
in The Record Mirror's end of Year poll ?
The Machin and Hunt and O'Rourke supergroup had split up before that as Hunt hated the title of their first album "The Two Ernies & a John"
here they are,with Glazier,before the now legendary jam session at Glastonbury in 1972.

It's not Giant Haystacks

He's a look-a-like from the agency referred to in that thread earlier: Macca the Let It Be era.

This is the thread in question: http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/what-do-you-look-0

I'll have a go

Is it (the lyrics of) Carter USM?

0
STD | 27 January 2012 - 8:52pm

No

In the days of Carter USM, David Icke was sitting in a pullover on Breakfast Time, discussing the third round of the FA Cup. (Little did he know that the result had already been decided by the Rothschilds and the Illuminati.)

Brookster | 27 January 2012 - 9:00pm

Au contraire

"David Icke wearing a pullover on Breakfast Time, discussing the third round of the FA Cup" could very easily have been a Carter USM line.

1
Austin | 27 January 2012 - 9:41pm

But David Icke was mentioned in a Carter lyric

from 1992s After The Watershed:

And it's goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Come home you silly cow
We've baked a cake and your friends are waiting
and David Icke says he'd like to show us how
to love you back to life again now

Can't remember a reference to Giant Haystacks or Barbara Striesand though

0
Rigid Digit | 27 January 2012 - 9:46pm

Ah, fair enough

I didn't know Icke had been namedropped by Carter USM.

0
Brookster | 27 January 2012 - 9:49pm

Grandstand

Did they all present it at least once in the 1970s when Frank Bough was on holiday?

1
Uncle Wheaty | 27 January 2012 - 8:57pm

all had problems

with Canadian immigration ?
Icke for sure.Haystacks Wrestled in Canada and maybe Babs did too.

0
philsproson | 27 January 2012 - 9:10pm

Barbra Streisand

was wrestling in Canada? I'd have paid to see that.

0
Brookster | 27 January 2012 - 9:46pm

Were they all married to...

... Elliot Gould at some point?

1
Formbyman | 27 January 2012 - 9:21pm

Wild stab

And non sober. They have been interviewed by Chris Tarrant.

0
Jorrox | 27 January 2012 - 9:22pm

Is it anything to do with a specific...

... venue?

0
Formbyman | 27 January 2012 - 9:33pm

Hmm …

possibly.

0
Brookster | 27 January 2012 - 9:45pm

Have they all played the same venue...

... and their performances were significant beyond the actual venue itself?

0
Formbyman | 27 January 2012 - 9:52pm

Do they all

have a nut allergy?

0
Rigid Digit | 27 January 2012 - 9:37pm

The answer

Formbyman is nearly there.
The answer is they've all sold out Wembley Arena.

(Mr Haystacks also had Big Daddy on the bill, but wrestling obviously needs more than one person.)

0
Brookster | 27 January 2012 - 10:01pm

I knew Haystacks ...

... and Big Daddy had wrestled at Wembley Arena - and Streisand has obviously played there - but I didn't know David Icke had sold it out - that's amazing - and worrying.

0
Formbyman | 27 January 2012 - 10:05pm

Especially when you consider..

That 90% of Icke's audience were there on the 14th dimension of the sigma plane which simply does not register on this level of monitoring.

Of course it was a sell-out. Empty seats? Only if you don't have The Eye.

0
Lenny Law | 28 January 2012 - 1:16am

Lizards, got to be

David Icke believes all people in power are lizards, Streisand looks like one most of the time, and Mr Haystacks appears to have eaten them all

Quick question, then. If Jim Morrison was the Lizard King, shouldn't he have been married to the Queen?
