RESIDENTS HISTORY - part 23 (continued)
Okay! So this is it - the picture that created the name, SNAKEFINGER! I realize this picture is kind of funky, well all of them are kind of funky (some asshole did a really shitty job of processing the film, so this is the best we could do with what we had - okay, alright, I admit it. The asshole was me.) But what you have here is Philip/Snakefinger playing the violin and and somehow after the film was processed and the print was made, THERE IT WAS! A finger that appeared to be turning into a snake. Okay, it does look a little more like sickle, but we couldn’t call him Sicklefinger, for christsake, so he became SNAKEFINGER! I swear it’s true - I was there.
