sea ghost on shore leave

David Byrne timidly exits a waterlogged suit and scuttles across the sizzling sand. Until he locates an improbably larger suit, he will be left vulnerable to seagulls and other hungry predators.

inventing various unstoppable martial arts styles, but wisely keeping them to myself as they are too dangerous for the world at large. sipping the nectar of a peach. these and similar such behaviors occupy my time of late
