A *very* large animal? Possibly one with opposable thumbs?

Reminds me of that Onion headline: "Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs", "Oh shit" says humanity

LOL.. I was thinking BIGFOOT!

I associate Bigfoot with mountains. There aren't many mountains around here in central Missouri (down south in the Ozarks you've got more), maybe Bigfoot has migrated his way to here? :0

I’m pretty sure I could ingest nothing but kefir and peanut butter for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy.

Woke up to a quiet house a few days ago. It was almost divine.

lol holy shit every meme like this is like yeah.

Literally 9/10 in the second image are not just occasional but the essence of my life experience.

I've been taken up on my request for diagnosis. To be continued.

If I ever have a first date again, unlikely with my being with the same woman for like 5 years now, I will offer to pay. The logic is, I will probably be wearing what I wore to work or whatever that day, whereas she will presumably have spent time getting ready and wearing some special date-oriented attire that she spent money on. Yes, even with rough and tumble rock and roll ladies. It seems fair to me.

But that's weird too. So if you get a haircut before the date, do you put that on the tab?

What's with all these icebergs of late? Every subject is a fucking iceberg all of a sudden.

How deep does this iceberg metaphor go? We are probably only seeing a small fraction of the total number of iceberg metaphors.

Until someone can come up with a popularly understood idea where you only see part of something much larger. My life is reasonably metaphor rich, but I struggle to offer one. Will report back with iceberg replacement ASAP.

There's been a spate of iceberg diagrams covered in words like that, called "The Such-and-Such Iceberg". Seems to be far more of them around lately, possibly due to climate change?

Do you know, there are far more varieties of lettuce than just the ones you commonly see at the supermarket.
