Fill in the blank!  :D

 

Example: you never leave the house without at least a couple test tubes stoppered with cotton in your back pocket!

You deftly try flipping rocks and logs during a non-anting walk with someone.

If you are in a park after closing time looking for ants

 

if you can be seen muttering ant stuff while staring at the sidewalk as you walk

 

If you hear someone say an ants common name and you mutter the scientific name

 

If you hear someone saying "your aunts are here!" and you get excited over it thinking it was ants

The squad roasts you for "looking for money on the ground" when you're actually looking for queens.

Your reaction to your girlfriend screaming "SPIDER!" is "Dinner time!".

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
