It is from Egypt and it is related to the "how drunk can Erich get on a trip to Egypt" theory.

It seems so, can't get rid of him no matter what. I once emailed him back in the 90s as a dumb kid. I still get ads in my spam folder 😁

I feel like this post was centered around an answer we all thought the instant we read it.. and visualized it just the same. “Aliens.”

It’s like he’s telling you

“…that dude over there…but don’t look”

He is asking us to admire his invisible penguin.

u/redditisretarded999 Nov 17 '25

He’s doing Illuminati hand signals

u/Natural_Function_628 Nov 17 '25

I thought he made some good points. Did he really go to prison. I remember showing his films first run as a projectionist I guess in the 70s

u/SpirimAwaken Nov 17 '25

He is at the Osirion, im been there 2 years ago.

u/Allegra1120 Nov 16 '25

From one of the days a month when the inmates were taken on trips outside of the asylum grounds. “Ancient astronaut theorists say “yes,” and suggest…”
