    I thought Peter Frampton had already bought this at Pink Floyd's yard sale!

    Okay, fair enough. But it was updated 3 days ago and you created this thread 3 days ago.....so there must have been just minutes or hours in it before the thread became a lie

    Jesus Christ, Peter.

    Just read the goddamn thread. I posted a link to an article saying that it was up for auction, and then two posts later, Obscured posted an update.

    We saw some Floyd tribute band a number of years ago who had "the pig" blown up in the parking lot outside the venue.. They claimed they bought the pig from David Gilmour after the Momentary lapse tour.. so who knows how many pigs are out there..

    Apparently it was that hard to follow.
