FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Foo Fighters

This question came up recently: 

Do Foo Fighters fight...

  • With Foo?
  • For Foo?
  • Against Foo?

This is NOT a new question and was pondered right here on this very blog way back on Saturday, September 5, 2015.

Let's jump in the TARDIS, get that up and down thingy pumping and let's go back in time over 6 years to examine....

Foo Fighters Fight For Foo...or Against Foo


Today's topic: Foo Fighters

Are Foo Fighters actually Fighters who fight against things?

  •  “We don’t need just ordinary Fighters! We need…Foo!”
  • "You have summoned Fighters and the Foo have answered the call!

Are the Fighters using Foo to fight? 
  • “These Fighters are trained in the mystic martial art known as….Foo!”
  • "Look out! The Fighters are going for their Foo!" 

Are they Fighters that fight for Foo? Is Foo a group of people?  
  • “The Foo need our help and we Fighters will fight for the Foo!”
  • "The Fighters have come to save the Foo!"

Maybe Foo is an ideal that Fighters will fight for?  
  • “I am a Fighter and with my last dying breath, I will fight the oppressor and there will be Foo for all!”
  • "Fighters! The enemy may take our lives but they'll never take our Foo!"
Maybe Foo is something to be fought against like a group of guerrillas or alien invaders?  

  • “Send in the Fighters, the Foo are attacking!”
  • "The Foo are fierce but our Fighters are fearless!"

Maybe it’s more of an evil ideology?  
  • “We are Fighters and we will fight until all people are free from Foo!”
  • "The dark power of Foo held sway o'er all the kingdom until the Fighters came."

Maybe Foo is just a force of nature, neither good nor evil?
  • "You Fighters are fighting a lost cause. Join me and come to the dark side of the Foo!"
  • "We need more Fighters! This Foo is out of control!"

So whatever you are, here's to you, Foo Fighters!

Fighters---
  • of

  • against
  • with
  • alongside
  • over and around

  • inside
  • next door to

That’s all I have for today.

Thanks for dropping by and I’m so glad my suffering amuses you.
