Whu-oh! The natives are getting restless. Phineas from the crowd says: "I like Potts and Draplin both, but I am already over this match. #lyt should be more than illustrated instant messaging."
Puts feet up on porch and lights corncob pipe. I've been doing this Layer Tennis thing for a long time and I don't even know what it's about. But perhaps Phineas, if that is your real name, has a point here. The three layers presented so far could be looked at as a gussied-up iChat. But if you look past the chit chat, there's a real battle of the wills going on. Each player is refusing to let the other dictate look and feel. All that high falutin' improv crap I talked about after the first volley appears to be out the window; these players are at each other.
Let's move on to more sartorial matters. Potts has changed his clothes. Well, his tie anyway. The bow is gone and a brown flowery thing has replaced it. My mind reels and wanders as I consider what this change means, you know, metaphorically. What is Potts trying to say? Less formal, his hair is down? But he's still in a suit. How many more ties will we see in this match?
Oh, and what's that picture taped up on Potts' wall with blue painter's tape. Classy!
