Hey, it's only the second time *I've* seen it!

Yep, pretty epic.  Allen had just as much to do with it as Donald though!

It started at football matches, where if a player appeared to be overweight,
you'd get said chants, usually interspersed with "who ate all the pies?".
The first time I came across it at a gig was Wolfsbane a few years ago, when
Blaze (not notably overweight) was greeted very enthusiastically.

Oh yeah - what's with these "25th anniversary" shirts?  It's 1998!
