serendipitous haute couture

the new captain's jacket i ordered came in the mail today. mail at sea is very exciting because it is so rare on account of there is no service that actually delivers mail to ships at sea here (which there SHOULD be) so, if you do get a care package, it's usually just that old lunatic, tables who calls himself "Mail Captain Tables" and shows up every once in a while in his pick-up boat (it's great fun - we see this dot on the horizon and it seems to take forever and the lookout comes running down the crow's nest escalator ((which he is NOT supposed to do (((also a rule is no running with a telescope in your hand))) )) with this maniacal look in his eyes, gagging on his excitement unable to speak with tears of joy running down his cheeks and all the men shout, "tables!" and run to get the best spot ((which is a gamble because he normally circles the boat a few times, so you really don't know where he's going to throw the "mail")) and they sometimes hold sparklers to get his attention so at night it's even better) and Mail Cpt. Tables throws a bunch of neatly wrapped trash on the deck, shoots a flair at someone or something, and speeds off. he's an interesting guy. always wearing the most serious and intensely determined expression that is laugh out loud stupid.
anyway, i ordered this really great captain's jacket that is made from 10 captain's jackets (very expensive) and tables delivered it to me.
