he can stand under his umbrella

[cimorene]

Or sit, as the case may be.

Wax was the one who originally made that comment when I was making icons, which led me to contemplate just how many pictures I have of the gentlemanly Hastings holding an umbrella for Poirot. In fact, last night I watched one where Poirot holds an umbrella for Hastings. The difference in height meant his arm was rather at an awkward angle. And he's not as considerate: Hastings was getting quite wet. Then I thought someone should make a vid to it except for two things: I actually hate that song, and that's way too much work. Well, three things. The quality of the avis is low. Anyway, then I thought: a silent vid! Or just a lot of caps, and you can imagine your own music! Then I realised that would be essentially the same thing as a picspam. And then I stumbled via google onto an article with an embedded YouTube vid to a really horrible ballad about rain. Someone else had the same idea, but with a rather different (cheesy and, er, bad) sensibility. Ouch. Probably it's a sign.

So this picspam (screencapspam?) is not, in fact, umbrella-themed. I thought that might get old rather quickly, anyway.
