Man in tree garb robs bank branch

This is where I usually do my banking; it's about a block and a half from my house. Too bad I missed this show!

Manchester – A man whom police said was decked out in tree branches -- in an apparent attempt to camouflage himself -- robbed a downtown Citizens Bank branch at 1550 Elm St. this morning.

Police said no one was hurt in the robbery, and no weapon was shown during the incident, which happened about 9 a.m.

<snip>

"He had tree branches duct-taped on his person, as if he was trying to camouflage himself in the woods,” Goodno said.

You'd think this took place in a secluded, wooded area, right?

9. He must have been a fan of Shakespeare....

Especially Macbeth. He was disguised as Birnam Forest.

11. That Stanford Tree is in a downward spiral.

or members of the band itself..

Then, on March 20, 2006, replacement-Tree Tommy Leep was ejected during the Stanford women's basketball team's NCAA tournament game against Florida State University for "dancing in an undesignated area," following an earlier scuffle with tournament security, from whom he had attempted to escape by hurling himself across the basketball court on a rolling chair. The Stanford Athletic Department then banned him from performing for the rest of the NCAA tournament. In protest, members of the Stanford Band wore foliage pinned to their hats and uniforms when they later played at the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight.
