Not content to be your typical googly-eyed amorphic black mass, this new dude thinks he's Jim Carrey or something. Apparently the skull cotton plant grows instantly, but takes at least 15 minutes to reach its next stage.
Would you have ever guessed an hour ago that you'd be sitting with bated breath awaiting a showdown between two blobs? Never a dull moment here at Layer Tennis. Well, only fourteen out of fifteen moments are dull, anyway. I think James' blob is going to get his ass kicked, if he has an ass. In fact, I bet the plant takes him down. Man, I'm enjoying this.
Soundtrack to this volley: Those are the faces I make when I hear that ubiqitous current Gwen Stefani song. You know, the Wooo-oo, Wheee-oo! one that you always hear at Torrid while your wife is trying stuff on (though not the sluttier, punkier stuff you wish she'd try on) and the sales girls are playing with your daughter, so you're not really sure why you're there, but there's something about the fact that every mall in America has a plus-size girls' punk rock clothing store that makes you happy, even if it's a sort of shitty plus-size girls' punk rock clothing store that would even consider playing a Gwen Stefani song.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Bryan Bedell.

Tomorrow we continue our series of live, experimental Layer Tennis Exhibitions with a motion graphics match between Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger. As usual, the action starts at 2pm Chicago time. Check the time in your area. What is unusual is that the match won't finish until next Thursday. We'll be posting two layers per weekday. We've always wondered what would happen if we gave a couple artists a lot more time to do each volley and this week we'll find out. Commentary is by Jason Koxvold, who knows a little something about LYT and mo-graf. Jason's Match Preview has been posted and so has the coin-flip.
Naz and Sam Peeling Back the Layers on last Friday's amazing photographic and musical live Layer Tennis Match. No Tennis this week by the way, we'll be back live on the 19th
