With the blankest of blank expressions on their faces, these mysterious figures have been popping up in the most unlikely of places.

Okayyyyyyyyyy…..

ooooooooooooo kool costumes!  Good idea for Otakon!!!

Sounds kind of like Anonymous, but they don’t appear to be protesting anything.  Probably some art or social project, then.

Wouldn’t you just love to go for a sunday drive with one of thoes on.

Something like that would actually be illegal in a lot of places, where people going around with their faces concealed is not appreciated.  I know that around here, there are laws against driving with your face covered.

Yeah, but it would be great for a trip to Starbucks for a Double Mocha Latte!

My soldiers have been spotted fall back fall back!!!

Looks like they’ve been watching Doctor Who…

We’ll probably see a news story about this soon:

Officer-: “Didja get a good look at their faces, ma’am?”

Bank Teller-: “Yes officer. I did.”

Officer-: “What did they look like then, if’n you’re of a mind to tell me?”

Bank teller-: “Very plain.  They kinda looked like everybody else.....”

Breathing through those things must be hell, though!

This reminds me of when I was about 16 or so, a group of my friends (these crazy boys known locally as “The Goon Squad”) had gotten a hold of a book of mine on Dadaism. They figured that if the Dada’s could do it and be taken seriously, then they would start an art movement of their own.

They drew crude smiley faces on paper bags and put them over their heads and drove very slowly around the neighborhood in a convertible, blaring Kraftwerk and moving their arms in a robot-like fashion.

I’ll bet that attracted some attention.  Mind you it is probably safer and less costly than driving around mooning people.  I can vouch for the fact that in 1974 it cost me 50 bucks and appearance in front of the local magistrate. 

Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep from laughing when some serious-as-all-hell court clerk is reading out the charge after you got caught mooning??
