Flickr user islaylike snapped this photo of pirate Jack Sparrow riding the 27 Bryant bus in San Francisco. Not only does Capt. Sparrow ride the bus, but notice that he also needs a transfer! No doubt to take a vintage F Market streetcar to meet his ship on the waterfront.
UPDATE: 16 May, 2011
Our friends at Muni Diaries got the scoop on the gentleman in the photo, as explained by the photographer. Turns out, he's Swiss:
This is a cellphone picture I took on Wednesday of my new friend, Sebastian Michellod, who stayed with me this week via couchsurfing.org. He is originally from Switzerland, but has been living in Central and South America for the past four years, traveling, making videos and documentaries. More recently, he has been dressing as Jack Sparrow, working his way north to try and meet Johnny Depp (who has been “impersonating him”). He just left for LA to catch the Los Angeles premiere of Pirates 4, and will also be in Las Vegas for another event. He is an amazingly kind and talented person, and I recommend that anyone meet him if provided the opportunity.
