I was just eating a peanut-butter laden english muffin and I was chewing my second bite while staring off into space, just kind of thinking about things, and then I returned my gaze to the muffin so I could take another bite and noticed the thing had the shape of a tapir.
It was crazy. The previous bites had formed a perfect tapir. There was even a small pocket that made an exceptional eye.
I was awestruck and just held the little miracle for a second, and then I took another bite and the tapir vanished, replaced by a simple three quarters-eaten english muffin.
I regret now that I didn't take a picture of the tapir so I could have shared it with you guys, but sometimes that is how things work out.
You all missed one of life's magic moments.
I, alone, spent time with the tapir.
I feel very close to you right now, Gus. I have often thought of you as the male Stray Cat.
Let's just keep that between us, though.
Just letting you know, Gus: I had to do a Google search to discover what a "tapir" is. Now I know. So your piece of muffin looked sort of like a rhinoceros for a minute?
Hm, I thought gustav looked like the tapir. Apropos, what man would be caught dead, eating a peanut butter muffin?
It looked just like this, msolga.....
Except my tapir was facing in the other direction. Why is it, that when you do a google image search for a tapir, they are all facing in the same direction? Is there some sort of tapir party somewhere that I don't know about?

Real men eat peanut butter muffins. Sometimes I sprinkle nails on top.

I was thinking the exact same thing, Jane!
Raspberry jam is definitely more like it!

Ok, but I really feel like sharing that information.
And speaking of tapirs, has anyone ever seen a photo of a screaming tapir?
I just happen to have one....
It is a rare photograph and one that I hope you will cherish.
Why? Aren't you neutered already?

Thank you, Gus.
Certainly an unusual looking creature. But It does have a certain charm!
I was directed to the Wikipedia tapir. Not half as impressive as yours, but facing the same direction. I think.
Now I will have to do another Google search to find out if tapirs belong to a party!

They dress to the right, and are a shy, self effacing animal.
You have only to look at their noses to see that they have a great deal to be shy about.
That is a sketch of a tapir Calmaity Jane drew in 12th grade.
She has talent.
Obviously, since you bought it.

You speak of flaccidity and all that accompanies it? Thank you, Professor dlowan, for adding to this thread.
We are all richer because of your contribution.
On my screen the tapir you posted is facing left! (Duh, I getcha now. I slept for 12 hours last night & am still rather slow today.)
Anyway, given they are a left facing creature, I strongly approve of them! And hope they form a party if there isn't one already!
This one looks to the right.
Nonsense, lezzles! I'm positive most people prefer raspberry jam to peanut butter on their English muffins! Why, it stands to reason ....
