Under the Sea


Pictures from the Great Barrier Reef along with quotes from The Little Mermaid (1989) (yes it really was that long ago) for your viewing pleasure!


Ariel: [singing] Up where they walk/up where they run/up where they stay all day in the sun/Wanderin' free/wish I could be/Part of that world...

Ariel: Is he - dead?
Scuttle: [Opens Eric's eyelid] It's hard to say. [Puts his ear against Eric's foot]
Scuttle: Oh, I - I can't make out a heartbeat.

Scuttle: I haven't seen this in years, this is wonderful.
Ariel: What is it? Scuttle: A banded, bulbous snarfblatt.
Ariel & Flounder: Ooooooh.
Scuttle: Now the snarfblatt dates back to prehysterical times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music.


Scuttle: It's a dinglehopper. Humans use these little babies... to straighten their hair out. See? Just a little twirl here and a yank there and voila. You've got an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over.



Ariel: There he is! Isn't he handsome? [Scuttle looks at the dog and scratches his neck]
Scuttle: I don't know, he looks kind of hairy and slobbery.
Ariel: No, not that one. The one playing the snarfblatt.


Life can be better down where its wetter take it from me!

Well, I am not trying to be mean, but pictures from scuba diving are terrible! They never turn out like you want, and are a poor reminder of the experience. I think that is how they get you addicted to scuba diving... because it is not enough to reminisce over the photos... Now you have given me the diving bug, thanks a lot Meena! ;)
