Underwater Toile? Ooh La La!

toile.jpg

It’s like the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine meets the Titanic. I guess that makes the little scuba diver swimming away from the sunken ship Leo. Ringo is on the submarine getting checked out by a seal and the octopus is just there to passively observe the whole affair.

This is all I’ve got this week. Man, I’m tired. I actually drove away from Starbucks this morning without my coffee. The guy in his little apron chased me half way down the street. How’s that for service! I guess when you serve uppers to grumpy tired people at 6 a.m. you get used to that sort of behavior.

    Oceanic toile is an under-explored subgenre.
