Default Slight confusion in Queenstown today

So there I was walking down the street; and I thought "Hey Sh1te, thats Seb. , obviously on his way back from Europe and dropping into NZ for a surprise visit."

Yes, that is actually a pink lamb on a dog lead.

It was only when I went and talked to the guy and noted his distinct lack of Aussie accent that I realized it wasn't Seb.

Do you have a twin brother mate?

Umm...ok... So did you meet his boyfriend?

Dressing like that in just about any city in Finland would surely get you beaten up in like 10 minutes...

Poor lamb...

I was under the impression that you were Seb's brother, TK.

Breeding pink lamb....quite a talent you have there!

So now that we know it wasn't SB, more information is needed. Was it a special day celebration? Like, maybe, Dress Weird with a Lamb Day? Or was he part of a traveling circus doing publicity?

So many reasons come to mind.

Is that the Aussie version of a hipster?
So many questions, so little answers.

You are so unkind TK..........

Mrs SB and I have been touring Hadrian's Wall all day in the North of England - and although I will admit some of the sheep did look good, none were pink nor desirable!

He is rather dapper in a stunningly daring UnZud colonial manner though!

Cheers, SB

PS: Scotland/Edinburgh tomorrow.

A fair question DRam. I've thought about this and decided there are two ways to answer this.

The easy way, where I just tell you;

or the harder way, where I provide you with the information you need to use your internet skills to work it out for yourselves.

I've decided the harder way might be more fun.

So; a virtual pint and an "Internet Super Sleuth tin star" to the first member that can correctly identify why someone would be dressed like that and walking the streets of Queenstown (New Zealand) yesterday (Saturday 30th August in our money).

Off you go chaps.

Cheers
TK

Top work Matti;

Please have someone add the words "Internet Super Sleuth" to your existing Tin Star Man award.

And have a rekorderlig on me, I'll pay for it if we ever catch up.
