Sightings and double-takes

Really irritating not to have my camera on hand this morning as, riding the bus downtown to work, spied groups of people dressed almost exactly like the wonderful and enigmatic The Residents, prancing along Lambton Quay. Was enough to cause me to violently double-take, injuring my neck slightly. Principal difference between these folk and The Residents of course is that The Residents tended not to wear sandwich-boards advertising brand new Vodafone 3G services (sorry, not going to link to Vodafone).

Wonders at feasibility of following...
me: "Hey, Boss, gotta go home sick, neck hurt quite badly."
Boss: "Oh yeah? How'd ya do it then?"
me: "Turned head sharply cos thought spied lengendary San Francisco anonymous art-concept multimedia pop-band walking along Lambton Quay. Cricking noise, yelps, etc."

All downhill from there, one suspects.

More The Residents here (erm The Residents 'bog' [sic]), and here.
