A DEMENTED EASTER BUNNY ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

Cheers erupted at 7th and Montana this morning as the man known locally as the "One-Eyed Bandit" for his tendency to wear a sporty orange bandanna covering one eye made the scene after a brief hiatus. As anyone who knows the "Bandit" can tell you, he is a master of disguise. When he's not wearing his signature bandanna, he's been known to sport underpants on his head (October 2008), a frycook's cap (June 2008) and a purple pillbox (December 2007). Today, he wore none of those things. Instead, he crouched on the sidewalk for quite some time in what appeared to be a passable imitation of Jedi Master Yoda. "Crazy must he be ... hmmm," I said to no one in particular as the Bandit maintained his crouching position. "I don't know how you even sit like that," said Bob. "Sitting is easy," quipped Joyce, "It's getting up that's the problem." For his part, the Bandit remained oblivious. Rumor has it he was trying to lay an Easter Egg ...!

A BANDIT AND HIS UNDERPANTS ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

Heads were turning at 7th and Montana this morning as the Notorious One-Eyed Bandit -- known for his Uncanny Resemblance to Popeye -- made the scene wearing a pair of White Underpants on his head. "You've got to hand it to him," I said of the Bandit as he made his way across 7th Street to Drugtown, "The man has Style!" The Underpants-on-the-Head look was first popularized by Captain Underpants, a Local Contortionist who regularly stands on his head in front of Our Favorite Starbucks wearing a pair of Blue Boxers. As for the Bandit, it's unclear why he would make a similar Fashion Statement at Drugtown. Perhaps he's suffering from Diarrhea of the Mouth ...!
