That is a very cool little detail!

Thanks for this post! It made me (and several others on twitter) laugh. =)

What a marvellous pic! Very Breughelesue in its detail. I love it!

And nothing new under the sun, eh? Like those Minoan ladies in their bikinis.

Now THAT would make a great jigsaw puzzle! All it needs is a man in a stripy shirt and hat that you have to find!

I was thinking it would be John Marshall in the speedos's!? ala the "wet suit" post a while back! :D

LOL! Marshallslion!
I kind of think John would go for something sexier though. I think he'll always be 'wetsuit surfer' in my mind's eye.
Satima - no there certainly is nothing new under the sun. I have seen medieval tight-fitting boxer short styles before now, but never the 'banana hammock' until I was browsing and caught this painting!

That gives a whole new meaning to "where's Willy?" if you ask me!!

Great picture :-)
