Who named the thingy the thingy?

[nban2010]

In this dark and dull time where the headliners have pretty much been guessed and no line-up announcements are in sight, the most important question to ask:

Who was the first to call the thingy the thingy?

This thread is for strictly thingy discussions.

As I understand it The Thingy became self aware several years ago, calling itself 'Thingy' and announcing itself as the holder of all date/Glastonbury knowledge. Shortly after he/she/it got a bit up themselves and demanded to be known as 'The' Thingy in order to differentiate it from other, lesser thingys.

There are now three Thingys. At this rate, there will be more Thingies than Elvis impersonators by the year 2185.

An early contender for the thread of  the year award

nobody named The Thingy - The Thingy named us

[Mezhyp1]

The Thingy presented itself to us in a time of need, help will be given at efestivals, for those who deserve it 

[Woffy]

@Couchyinsisted on calling the Thingy the Menu for a bit. But it became clear that the Menu is obviously the Line Up in full whereas the Thingy details dates leading up to the presentation of the Menu in full.

The Thingy became self-aware nanoseconds after the Big Bang around the same time space, time and early elements formed.

The Thingy is infinite but with boundaries.

This thingy is my current favourite of the 3 thingys currently out there?

Thingy

One of those words that the more you say it, the more it doesn't sound right.......Thingy!

As we all in agreement that @Gnomicide's Thingy is the one true thingy...if you'll pardon the expression?

 

 

Edit to clarify: rather Gmony's Thingy is the most recent, fully evolved of its proto-Thingy ancestors.

Don't be guided to a Thingy, let the Thingy that calls to you be your Thingy of choice.

"What, in truth, is a thing insofar as it is a thing? When we ask this question we wish to know the thing-being (the thingliness) of the thing. The point is to learn the thingliness of the thing. To this end we must become acquainted with the sphere within which are to be found all those beings which we have long called things." (Heidegger, 1950)

The Thingy is all of us. Praise The Thingy.

I think what Gnomicide is trying to say is that there is a Thingy in all of us

I wonder who'd win in a fight between Heidegger & Schrodingers cats.

[parsonjack]

It's just a list really....rather than a 'thingy'....

If Schrodinger's cat can't get out of the box, or we open it and find it's dead, then game over, and Heidegger wins, surely?

I heard the original thingy is calved into the side of St Michael's Tower and is updated by the Eavi themselves

it's said the night before an announcement you can hear the chipping of stone if you put your ear to the ground halfway up the Tor
