"There is no folly of the beast of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men."

At rehearsal for our high school choir gala event, most people had registered to sing solo - I remember a somewhat quiet girl sang a hauntingly beautiful song about being an ice cream cone and melting into nothingness - she had such vocal presence as she drifted into almost a whisper.
I had wrangled three friends into a barbershop quartet to sing "Old Jonah" (had a whale of a time in a whale!) - sailor jackets, classic barbershop harmonies and a moment where I turned around and wiggled my "tail". It was a goofy high-school skit and I thought we sounded great.
Then ... ... five boys walked out snapping their fingers, in white shirts and dark glasses. They launched into a doo-wop medley that could have been at the end of an 80s flick (literally, this was '89). The crowd went Beatles-crazy in response, they put their sunglasses back and walked off snapping their fingers again. Brilliant. So cool.
I'm in the audience wearing a grey shirt-costume that says "I Am The Whale".
One of those clarity moments on just how cool I am.

This whale (of a time in a whale) - is the latest instructions shared by Isopresso on their YouTube channel. The ventral throad grooves took tying to get them to sit right for me, having them tighter would make it so you wouldn't have to because the fins do much of that work.
