Found throughout San Francisco and the East Bay, the photocopied images bear an uncomfortable resemblance to pictures of Klansmen, but the delightfully Amelie-esque text is hard to resist:
WHO ARE THESE GOONS??? AND WHY ARE THEY STALKING YOUR HOMEHAVE YOU RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
* "Lost" mail? "Wrong numbers"?
* Dust bunnies? Flies on the windowsill? Dead moths?
* Tooth aches? Interrupted sleep? Invalid passwords?
* Rearranged possessions? (Your belongings not where you left them?)
* Mismatched socks? Zippers not working properly?
* Odd damage or small stains around your house?
* Theft and sabotage of your food or kitchenware? Appliances behaving strangely?
* Cabinet and drawer handles held on by screws repeatedly loosened ARTIFICIALLY?
* Opened caps on items such as deodorant & food containers being retightened excessively while you're out?
* Do you hear sirens? Customers in a store filing into line just as you're about to check out?
* Itching?
THIS ISN'T A COINCIDENCE! You may be the victim of targeted PSYCHOTRONIC SABOTAGE, MICROWAVE HARASSMENT, SYNTHETIC TELEPATHY, OR GANG STALKING!Increasing evidence points to THE JEJUNE INSTITUTE as the perpetrators of these acts. We all must become aware and join together in our efforts against this inference!

SNOO
And it just gets better: Their site, jejuneinstitute.org, is like something right out of a Charlie Kaufmann movie. Sadly, it's not real; it's all just a big role-playing game. Still, it's kind of brilliant. The question is, do people playing the game really break into each other's apartments and short-sheet the beds?

Also seen on a light pole at Oak & Page and at the 4th & King Caltrain station..
they're delightfully thorough, if you contact them they will send you mysterious messages.
it's about time this city had a good arts cabal.
It's delightful shit like this that keeps me going in the mornings...
Is Elsewhere Public Works a part of the Jejune Institute?
http://sfist.com/2009/04/01/photo_du_jour_376.php
The Elsewhere Public Works Agency, is an organization located Elsewhere, Western Hemisphere that is attempting to infiltrate and disband The Jejune Institute for spreading false non-chalance...for more information go to the top of Dolores Park and tune into 107.9 Radio Non-Chalance-Cryptic Radio.
Thanks for the 411, as the kids say. I ♥ the internets...
In addition to the locations listed in the Photo du Jour, I found one of those at a crosswalk light on Octavia and Fell. Woot!
OHMYGOD, I totally want to do this! And yet I'm scared, so very scared....
my boss does this, sounds like a big nerdy scavenger hunt to me. emphasis on the nerd part.....
funny, they have their little space on facebook too, lol:

Ya know, I was right there with them up until the whole "Itching" thing. That makes no sense whatsoever. Itching??!! Freakin' weirdos.
I highly recommend attending their "orientation." Bring $1+tax, a mobile phone, and prepare to walk around a bit for an hour or two.
(Elsewhere Public Works/Radio Nonchalance is essentially Part II of the game.)
