ALICE SPRINGS Thursday 26 January 2012: Yet another graffito has appeared on the Town Library Wall. Police suspect Foo, the despised mastermind behind many such defacings, to be once again behind this senseless act of vandalism. Northern Territory Police Commander Bruce Oz announced the formation of a Special Foo Unit which will be set up as soon as his operational staff are able to get through the crowds of flag waving Australians who have gathered to demonstrate against this artistic barbarity. Commander Oz said that he had already been in consultation with XTALMAN who was prepared to assist, at any time, in the hunt for Foo. [By our Staff Reporter]
Greg, I am sorry to hear that The Alice, that most iconic Australian town, has attracted the attention of Foo. As Australian of the Year I will do everything I can to help. I caught up with Lindy recently and she sends her regards. We had a few chuckles about the old days in Toowong. All the best for the New Year, Geoff

I heard Foo was nominated for Australian of the Year, but since none if his 'artwork' features redheads he was ignored ...

I like Foo. I did'nt know Foo existed!

It's true Maree, Foo does exist but has never been sighted. The Special Foo Unit believes that when he is not defacing walls he hangs out with other arch enemies of civilized society such as Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Goldilocks,The Phantom, Superman, Superwoman and Xtalman.

Poor Foo, he was exiled from Woodridge Queensland and must have hitched a ride to Alice, life will not be the same!!

Tjilpi, thanks for reminding me of one of the joys of my youth. This Wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_was_here
adds some light as to how Foo entered my life but says nothing about the geometric nature of the space/time continuum as evidenced by the existence of Crystals!
